It's a damn pleasure serving the people I get to work with.

I've met with Scott once per month for the last few months and provided him a 4 day per week fitness program, including sport specific drills to improve his abilities in racquetball. Needless to say, I think he's pretty happy with the results! One tournament victory and a hell of a lot of excitement moving forward. Happy to help him improve his strength, conditioning and more importantly, see him so damn motivated to keep killing it in his passion.

This dude works hard, and has been exceptionally motivated since our very first meeting. Keep it up my friend! Excited to keep progressing :)

If you or someone you know is looking for a partner / guide in improving their health with a fitness professional reach out!

I'd love provide a session to gameplan and strategize the best ways to help get YOU moving, catered specifically to your needs and wants

Outside.

There's bugs. And dirt. And sometimes you get wet and cold.

And it's the best thing ever because you'll never be more free :)

Let's work together to choose your struggle rather than letting the struggle choose you!

Let's talk about good days and bad days for a minute.

We'll do it in the context of brushing your teeth relating to commitment to self.

There are some days you brush your teeth three times, floss them before gargling some mouth rinse, exactly as your dentist suggests.

Being realistic - most days don't end up that way.

What if you decide to brush your teeth at night and floss once? That's probably a net improvement.

Another day you could decide flushing your mouth out with mouth rinse and spitting it out is all you can muster. Not a great effort - but it's something.

Another day taking a swig of water, slushing it around then swallowing it is all the respect you can give your teeth This effort is next to nothing - yet it's still staying true to the commitment because you took conscious action.

Other days, you just give up and decide to eat a giant bag of candy before bed.

Most days aren't perfect. Most days aren't the height and peak that we all strive for. But instead of saying f*ck it and not doing anything about it, can you make a commitment to doing something for your health? Can you go walking around the house to reinforce the commitment to yourself, rather than parking that b***y on the couch and demolishing a pizza?

FItness is so often all or none. Falling off your diet doesn't mean you failed.

It becomes so detrimental as it leads to spiraling and diminishing ideas of self worth.

I trust in my people to act on their commitments, no matter the intensity. Had a bad day? Stretch while watching tv. Do a jumping jack. Close your eyes and breathe.

Some people need full on exercise programs, some people need habit interruption. Everything in life is a spectrum and to reinforce all or none thinking and is very harmful for long term health!

Some days, swish that water around your mouth and swallow it. That commitment to you is a big deal.

Hello world,
There's always fun in fitness. People get so caught up in lifting weights in various ways and stress the idea that if you don't do X you'll shatter your coccyx. There's fun in the struggle. It doesn't have to be this perfect setup with a 6 step warmup, a % rep max prescribed load every workout or a sweat dripping, death defying experience under they weight of a barbell you just learned to throw over head.

Sometimes, warmup with games. Play some tag. Shoot some hoops. My brothers and neighbors used to play a game called 'diving catches' in my front yard with the brothers. The games were spawned from a drive for mild competition, fun and a challenging idea. Throw me a crappy pass, sort of far away from my body. Move in space to make a fun-looking grab that would likely be featured in Sportcenter's top ten.

That's the stuff we miss in fitness. It's not all about hard work and dedication and sniffing sodium packets. It can be fun. It should be something to look forward to. And the idea that our world needs to be perfectly measurable, perfected in slow motion capture is really not what developing athletes should be about.

And if having that measured value, a daily approach of tracking every macro, an insistence on becoming obsessed with everything you put in your body is important to you, Good on ya. But that won't get most people excited for the next level. Sometimes you just gotta go out and have some fun in the front yard.

(A client of mine had a great time planting some stuff in their yard yesterday. And it made me think how fun it was destroying our lawn as a kid.)
