Being fit isn’t just about looking good.  Being healthy and fit can literally change your life.  Don’t believe me? Check out my story. An Abused Skinny- Fat Kid  As a kid I was skinny, but not the “ripped” skinny.  I was slim with a belly – meaning zero abs.  Not exactly the most promising physique.  Luckily I had some athletic ability – enough to be competitive at a relatively high level for sports. Unfortunately, I never felt confident enough to perform at a high level.  My father was both physically and mentally abusive and it completely wore me down.  Combined

The best books, podcasts, blogs, supplements and workout gear that you need in 2017 (besides The True Transformation)… 983 weeks into the New Year and this is the point where a lot of people tend to regress back to their old habits. So instead of giving you more workout tips or nutrition advice – I figured you should check out my top 10 resources for health and fitness in 2017.  Some of these might work for you – some might not. Either way…there’s plenty of cool stuff here to keep things both interesting and effective for the duration of the

“I bet you go to the gym every day right?” Not so fast chief…. The gym every day? HAHA  I wish. Look, I love the gym…hence why I’ll open one at some point But the question “How many days should I workout?” is very flawed. This question suggests that hitting the gym and working out for an hour is the key to changing our bodies. Meaning, if we don’t hit the gym…we are effectively not making progress. Plus, if you only define “working out” as the hour you spend lifting weights 4 times per week, then I believe you might

Ready to have the worst year ever?  I didn’t think so… Avoid these 5 things like your stalker ex and you’ll be well on your way to kicking ass this year. It’s the New Year. Goal setting is in full swing.   You’re up to your eyeballs in motivation to get in shape, grow your business (or side hustle), strengthen your relationships (show some dame affection dammit!), and end all incurable diseases (ok maybe that’s just me). When it comes to getting stuff done…it comes to down to having phenomenal habits.  Habits that, when done daily, set you up to

​This whole “skipping meals” thing is really starting to stick – I’ve adopted it into my weekly routine (I don’t fast every single day) and it’s been a GAME CHANGER to say the least. ​This whole “skipping meals” thing is really starting to stick – I’ve adopted it into my weekly routine (I don’t fast every single day) and it’s been a GAME CHANGER to say the least. Gone are the days of having to eat breakfast so you don’t lose muscle or having to prep food in a rush out the door to keep your metabolism healthy.   We know

Thanksgiving is here…try this workout strategy to burn extra calories before the feast! In years past I would sit down and write out an awesome Thanksgiving Survival Guide. It would include a perfect strategy on how to eat some food in moderation and stay on track with your diet and fitness goals. The strategies looked awesome on paper, but when it came down to it there were some major flaws. First of all, unless you’re prepping for a physique contest – trying to watch every calorie on Thanksgiving is pretty pointless and stressful. Thanksgiving is a holiday that should be

It was hell getting out of my neighborhood yesterday The police had to be called in to direct traffic and restore order. And no it wasn’t a car accident… I had to find out what was going on… It was hell getting out of my neighborhood yesterday The police had to be called in to direct traffic and restore order.

EVERYONE and their mother decided to eat dinner there last night. It looked like

If you’ve paid attention to the fitness industry recently, I’m sure you’ve heard about HIIT cardio training (High Intensity Interval Training).  Lately it’s become all the rage to help people build endurance, burn fat and build muscle.  The days of low intensity, walking on the treadmill days are over…. or so it seems.  ​ If you’ve paid attention to the fitness industry recently, I’m sure you’ve heard about HIIT cardio training (High Intensity Interval Training).  Lately it’s become all the rage to help people build endurance, burn fat and build muscle.  The days of low intensity, walking on the treadmill days are over…. or so
