Schwarzenegger: How I fought my way back to fitness

"It's time for the fitness industry to be honest with people."
Please read this.

cnn.com It's time for the fitness industry to be honest with people, says Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had to work his way back to fitness after open-heart surgery earlier this year. He writes of what he learned: There is no gimmick. There is no shortcut. There is no magic pill.

[11/26/18]   According to my step counter Thanksgiving is my laziest day since I started keeping track. Not surprising given that I sat around, ate, and watched a Christmas movie.😛
How about you?

Fitness, volunteering, laughter and love. What more do you need?

You can't outrun a bad diet.

[10/31/18]   I have a very wise and incredibly funny client who pointed out that it seems like the only time in your life it's acceptable to gain weight is from birth through the end of puberty. Funny and sad.

Sprinter Feels Like An Idiot After Finding Out About Jogging

sports.theonion.com TULSA, OK—Wondering why nobody bothered to tell him about the far easier alternative this whole time, sprinter Eric Powell admitted Thursday that he feels like a total idiot after finding out about jogging. “Jesus, I can’t believe I’ve been working my ass off, pushing myself to run as fast a...

[10/06/18]   Ethics: the reason why I don't sell any supplements, essential oils, meal plans... A personal fitness trainer is not licensed in any way to advise clients on these topics!

[09/26/18]   Beautiful weather for a run around the Academy this morning! I always try to greet others or give them a thumbs up too, my mood surges whenever another runner or walker acknowledges me.
What are your plans for moving your body today?

The 13 Multi-Level Marketers You Meet in Hell

I'm not a fan of MLMs. There, I've said it.

bodyforwife.com If heaven is for clean people, it’s vacant. —Matt Good My guess is the universe is just a bunch of sh*t that happened and we’re little more than semi-sentient stardust meat sacks on a small rock circling an insignificant ball of burning gas until we dirt nap. Eternity sounds like…

Oh yes, the entrepreneurial hustle... The reason why I keep up a FB page for my business, LOL.

As an entrepreneur, I set world records in hustling everyday. Here's how you can to...

Gotta Love Sports

Amazing!

Blake Leeper is truly an inspiration.

[08/27/18]   Hey Albuquerque,
Where do you like to go trail running?
I'm looking for something a little shaded and possibly unpaved.

This Man Is About to Set a New FKT on the Appalachian Trail

Good for him! I have no interest in doing any sort of marathon running, certainly not 2 a day for 45 days straight.

outsideonline.com Up at 4 a.m., then run the equivalent of two marathons before dusk. Now repeat that for 45 days.

While it may seem true that men can lose weight faster than women I want to caution you against focusing solely on weight, which is really just telling you how much force gravity is exerting on you.

Look! Free parking in Nob Hill! Come see what's new!

Free Parking? Yes Please!

Wait, are we playing monopoly??? Then we love Free Parking!

The ART construction 🚧 around our Nob Hill store is mostly done, so from now until July 1st, there is no charge for parking along Central Avenue and every motorist gets two hours of free parking. Come say hi 👋!

#WhoDoesntLoveFreeParking

[06/06/18]   Trail running is so much more enjoyable when you know where you're going, LOL. I finally downloaded the AllTrails app because I couldn't find my way around Pine Flats.

[05/30/18]   Are you ever sore after a workout but in a place you never expected? I didn't do any crunches yesterday but my abs are sore.🤷‍♀️

[05/28/18]   Oh silly me. I thought maybe regularly running for 25 minutes at 6000ft would help me run for 35 minutes at 5000ft. Sadly I did not make it around The Academy this morning.
What are you up to this Memorial Day?

Leg exercise is critical to brain and nervous system health

"... using the legs, particularly in weight-bearing exercise, sends signals to the brain that are vital for the production of healthy neural cells, essential for the brain and nervous system. Cutting back on exercise makes it difficult for the body to produce new nerve cells—some of the very building blocks that allow us to handle stress and adapt to challenge in our lives."

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2018-05-leg-critical-brain-nervous-health.html

medicalxpress.com Groundbreaking research shows that neurological health depends as much on signals sent by the body's large, leg muscles to the brain as it does on directives from the brain to the muscles. Published today in Frontiers in Neuroscience, the study fundamentally alters brain and nervous system medicine....

[05/02/18]   Well, the Starbucks near the gym moved half a mile away. Guess who won't be going to Starbucks anymore? I didn't need that 700 kcal Frappucino anyway, LOL.

How to Stop Eating Sugar

Great article with some good actionable tips.
Main take away: watch out for added sugars in unexpected places.

https://www.nytimes.com/guides/smarterliving/how-to-stop-eating-sugar?mc=aud_dev&mcid=keywee&mccr=dommob&kwp_0=722977

nytimes.com This guide will walk you through how you can make smart food choices to reduce sugar consumption, and how you can keep your life sweet, even without so many sweets.

[03/20/18]   I'm so over online courses. I'm a self-described self-help junkie and I love learning new ways to understand myself, my business, my craft, BUT these days everyone and their brother is offering an online course.

"Sign up today, enrollment open until tonight, don't miss out, create your best self ever for only $497..." Sound familiar?

They promise you the moon and stars, they promise you "real transformation" and what you get is an online course with a weekly email, and access to a private Facebook group. But there is no accountability for them. Sure they want to see you do well but mostly once the payment is in they are only looking to sell you their next thing (usually membership in their private community with a monthly billing option).

I'm a big believer in personal interaction for this reason. I don't do online coaching or online classes. We interact in person, in real time, every time. My attention is on you every time you come in. You still have to do the work, but I'm there with you every step of the way to encourage you, rather than leaving you to your workout and shouting "good job" while I'm working to monetize my next program.

If personal attention and highly customized workouts sound good to you contact me for a free consultation. Let's meet and figure out whether working together would make sense for you.

[03/11/18]   How do you celebrate Daylight Savings Time? 😛

[03/07/18]   Just for fun: do you work out when you go on vacation?

[02/27/18]   If you were shopping for a personal trainer, what would you consider important?
Experience, education, client testimonials/success stories, price, location, years in business?
What would make you feel comfortable with your decision to hire a particular trainer?

[02/21/18]   What has been your biggest "a-ha" moment with regards to fitness?

[02/19/18]   If you were an athlete in the winter Olympics what sport would you compete in?

[02/15/18]   What is the biggest thing that keeps you from exercising? Lack of time? Lack of motivation? Lack of knowledge?
How can I help you with that?

[02/13/18]   Do you work out with your partner/significant other? If not, do you find that working out adds another layer of stress to your day because it takes time away from family time?

[02/07/18]   In case you were wondering, here are the Mayo Clinic guidelines for exercising when sick:

Exercise is usually OK if your symptoms are all "above the neck." These signs and symptoms include those you may have with a common cold, such as a runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing or minor sore throat.

Consider reducing the intensity and length of your workout. Instead of going for a run, take a walk, for example.

Don't exercise if your signs and symptoms are "below the neck," such as chest congestion, a hacking cough or upset stomach.

Don't exercise if you have a fever, fatigue or widespread muscle aches.

[02/05/18]   Like this post if you are one of those people who get super motivated to work out whenever you watch a movie or a sporting event where the underdog wins. 😁

[01/31/18]   How interested would you be in hearing my experiences with new fitness trends? If I were to go try out different classes and give a bit of a review would that be helpful to you?

[01/29/18]   We're twelve hours into Monday. Have you exercised yet?

[01/28/18]   What is your fitness goal this year?
Who will you enlist to help you reach that goal? An accountability partner, a personal fitness trainer, an app?
How will you reward yourself for reaching your goal?

[01/27/18]   Is a workout an obligation or an indulgence? Why do you feel like it's something you SHOULD do versus something you WANT to do? Is there a built-in sense of guilt that comes with the idea of exercise?
Isn't that silly?

[01/25/18]   Pick my brain later today from noon till 1pm at the gym. I'll be available to answer any questions you might have about fitness trends, specific exercises, whether you should or shouldn't be doing lat pulldowns behind your back etc.
I'd love to see you so come by for some free fitness advice!
