New Weekly Tipz! This week i try to give some insight into the 3 different types of muscle actions and how they can be immediately applied to any exercise that you are currently doing. This one small variable is one of the most important things to be aware of when doing any exercise. Never worry about the technical names of anything, just focus on what something is and how you can put it to use…

New Weekly Tipz! I’ve said it before and i’ll say it many times over… it’s all about the balance. There’s never just “one thing” that holds any of us back from getting results. It’s usually a number of things out of balance. Go for it all. And in the end, strive to be happy AND healthy.

I’m back finally… New Free Weekly Health&Fitness Tipz! This week i get back to my little series “Things You Should Probably Know”. I run down a list of about 10 quick things that you might not be aware of. Things like how to not damage your spine during early morning workouts, “muscle confusion”, fad diets, muscles pain, supplements etc. Many of you might already be aware of some of this stuff. But if not, please spread the word. I encourage everyone to educate yourselves as much as you can.Te health & fitness industries thrive on keeping us stupid. It’s time we did something about that.

Spring 2012 Note to self: Head to toe analysis. Trigger points, tight muscles, weak muscles. Or maybe i should also say “weak or disfunctional patterns”. Infraspinatus(rotator cuffs), Posterior Serratus/Thoraco-Lumbar Junction/QL region, Thoracic Spine, Hands & Forearms, Feet/Achilles/Calves, Lateral Hamstring(especially right side), Illio-Psoas, TFL/Hip Flexor/IT Band/Glute Medius(right side wants to twist inward when SL Sqatting), Adductors. Lots to work on. Open hips up. Especially right side. Massage hands,feet and forearms daily. Stretch while watching TV. Right side may be aggravated daily by sleep patterns. I sleep primarily on my right side. Focus on symmetry while exercising. Always rotate out uni-lateral movements. Use the Getup as a guide. Work on proper SEQUENCE order for movement patterns. “Drive” range of motion with flowing movement patterning. Improve Thoracic mobility and deep squat Stability. Improve Strength overall :)

New Weekly Tipz! This week is a talk on METABOLISM, as simple as i can put it. It’s not a short video but i think it’s well worth listening to. Understanding the basics is essential to success. Metabolism IS the “basics” of our body and it’s many functions.

New Weekly Tipz Show! This week i talk a little about why using exercise as a primary means of getting rid of body fat might not be a good idea for most people, especially folks new to exercise. Simply put, exercise mostly burns off calories (body fat) that we’ve already put in (and on) our bodies. It just makes sense to NOT to consume so many unnecessary calories in the first place. In other words, focus MOSTLY on improving nutrition if you really want to get rid of unwanted body fat. Exercise and being active are very important. You should move every day. But what you eat and drink is the biggest part of the “fat-loss” equation.

New Weekly Tipz! This week i talk briefly on health. Health before fitness. Being “healthy” means taking care of the basics first. ALong with that is also our attitude, aka the thoughts we keep. Negativity in our personal lives will eventually eat up our “health” like the cookie monster eatin’ up some cookies. Being positive helps everything. Health before fitness…every time.
