New Weekly Tipz! So it’s no secret, most people extremely dislike exercise and eating small portions of healthy foods. But why? This week is a good week to try and figure it out. Think long and hard. Answer honestly. Because if not, much time will surely be wasted. Live in the moment. Work for the future.

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.

New Weekly Tipz for the week of Jan 30! This week i talk about 6 or 7 things that most people probably shouldn’t do while working out at the gym or at home. These observations are based on years of working for a big box gym. I, along with many other trainers, witnessed many wasteful things. Sadly, not much has changed since then. Sadly, people still do many useless things, much of which has been hanging around for decades. This is not to be mean, only to educate. Evolve.

New Weekly Tipz! When a trainer mentions the word STRENGTH, too often folks assume they only mean the kind of strength burly muscle-bound guys want. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Every man, woman & child needs a basic base level of strength to function properly in the world. But to get it, you must train for it. This should be a top priority for everyone. Doing cardio without ever training for strength is a really bad idea, especially if you are just trying to lose body fat.

New Weekly Tipz Video…this week i talk briefly about the influence we as adults have on children. This can be good or not so good. Kids need to see us adults eating healthy foods and movin our asses on a regular basis. They need to know why. Considering the current state of things, kids today don’t stand a chance unless they know better. Don’t expect them to learn it in school. We must lead by example.

New Weekly Tipz Video…it bothers me that there exists this huge divide between people that exercise and people that don’t. it seems to be all or nothing. surely there is some middle ground. surely people can learn to take better care of themselves without letting it rule their lives. exercise is for everyone, not just the jocks from high school.
