4 Things The Marine Corps Teaches You About Adversity

I'm often asked if I enjoyed my time in the Marines. I usually say something like "not really." The truth is, like most grunts, I couldn't wait to get out. I rode a wheely on my motorcycle out the gates of Camp Pendleton, and it might have been the happiest day of my life. The next follow up question I get is usually something like, "do you regret joining?" and I typically answer with "I wouldn't trade it for anything." On the surface, it sounds like a contradiction. It's not. Three deployments in 4 years was grueling. I lost many friends. I was away from my loved ones for 7 to 9 months at a time. We often didn't sleep for days. The food was terrible. We spent hours upon hours every ....

Are Resolutions Stupid? (4 min read)

The holidays are in the past and the new year has arrived. Now, it's resolution season, right? Or is it? Over the last few years, I've seen a lot of people on social media setting resolutions. I've also seen a lot of people online posting about how "stupid" resolutions are. So who's right? Are they both correct? Are they both wrong? I'm not sure who is the rightful judge of this question. But I'm going to give you my perspective on it after more than a decade of coaching countless clients successfully. Let's start with the primary argument against setting new years resolutions. "It's just another day. You can set a goal at any time. Every day is a fresh start. Don't wait until ....

How to Get Maximum Results in Minimum Time

You’ve probably set a goal in the past around losing weight or perhaps building some muscle. Most likely, you’ve also experienced the frustration of working hard and eating right but not seeing the level of success you were hoping to achieve. Maybe your progress was slower than you’d hoped or worse, there was no noticeable change. You’re not alone. Just about everyone has experienced the “WTF” (What the Fitness!?) effect. It’s frustrating, discouraging, and demoralizing. The worst part is that those reactions make the problem worse. You might be thinking, “How could my reaction make the problem worse?” And that would be a good ....

One Big Reason You're "Not Losing Weight"

We’ve all been there, you’re doing everything right, you’re watching your eating, exercising regularly, you’re even drinking more water. You walk into the bathroom to weigh, full of optimism, only to find you’ve gained weight… AGAIN! That’s when you think “Screw it, I’m going to Whataburger.” You probably wish you didn’t know what I’m talking about, but the odds are you do. In almost 15 years in the fitness industry, I’ve seen more people derailed by this phenomenon than I care to remember. And who can blame them? When you’re working hard, making sacrifices, and staying disciplined, you expect to see ....

How to Increase Your Motivation

Motivation is the driving force behind everything we do. The root of the word “motivation” is derived from the Latin word “movere” which literally means “reason to move.” Whether you choose to go to the gym, or start making healthier choices when it comes to your eating habits, or perhaps deciding to organize your home or take care of your yard, motivation is what gets you moving and keeps you moving toward your goal. Taking the initiative to build a habit or start a project requires more than a “just do it” attitude, it requires a genuine “reason to move” i.e., motivation. Motivation is not an inherited trait, it is a ....

Fitness Tip: Schedule Your Priorities First

TOP FITNESS TIP: THE F3 TRINITY You’re a “normal” person. If I was to ask you what the most important things in your life are you’d probably answer with what I call the F3 trinity.

This weeks Monday Fitness Focus is about prioritizing the actions you take so you can live life fully. So many of us fail to reach our ....

One Scary Fact About Fitness and How to Start Exercising atHome

Building Healthy Habits that Stick

iar? You’re all in on getting back in shape. You’re eating better. You’re exercising 4 or 5 days a week. You’re even juicing carrots and kale! Now that’s motivated. You’re on a roll. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, you just stop doing all that healthy stuff. You got out of your healthy new routine and before you know it you’re back to your old habits. Does this sound familiar? Probably. Why? Because habits, good and bad, have a strong tendency to take control of your life. If something is going well in your life, it’s most likely because you’ve got good habits in that area. And if something isn’t going well, ....
