Lean into your fears! That is exactly the place where growth lives!
If you find yourself afraid of facing your fear, this the the most important place to start. We must overcome our “fear of fear” if we truly desire to achieve our full potential.

Probably best not to get sucked into and stuck in any one approach to health and fitness.
There are many basic principles that are common to just about every strategy that yields positive results: move your body, occasionally stress your body with movement, be mindful of avoiding injury during your preferred movement(s), consume adequate nutrition to fuel your body, don’t over consume, don’t forget the role that sleep and stress play.
Regardless of what any “expert” tells you, make sure to keep your own score. Did following that expert’s recommendation lead to an improvement in your health? Did you get stronger? Did your body composition improve? Do you feel better? Etc, etc
Lots of resources at our disposal these days, but ultimately it’s up to each of US to determine what is best for US.

Confused? Struggling? With Your Diet? This doesn’t have to be too difficult.
First, understand what’s in our control.
Second, take a few minutes to decide WHICH FACTORS under our control can be most EASILY CHANGED to help us achieve our desired GOALS. Make a plan. Write it down. Incorporate it into your life, make it habit.
Food is fuel for our bodies and minds #1
It can also be something we enjoy. This is much easier if we have a plan that allows us to eliminate the guilt associated with this pleasure and we stick to it at least 80% of the time and not let ourselves be too ridiculous the other 20%.
Need help coming up with a plan? Send me a DM, I’ll point you in the right direction for free, no strings attached.
s it ok to gain 5 LBS on vacation? 🤢 You do you, but I say no thank you. Whenever I take a trip, I am always asked if I train while I’m vacation. Simple answer, yes. But not always the way one might think.
To be 💯 honest, I don’t always do any specific strength training while on vacation. Couple reasons for this…
1. I typically train 4-6 days a week for months at a time, so taking 3-5 days (my typical vaca) away from the gym is probably more beneficial than not. Earn those rest days.
2. I am always active when I travel. Don’t get me wrong, I love to sit on the beach for hours without a care in the world. But I also love to hike, swim, jog, explore a new place by foot, and any other extracurricular activity that tickles my fancy.
With all that said. Sometimes we just NEED to get a good sweat on to feel our best and having a simple, effective workout routine in your back pocket comes in handy if you want to make sure your vacation doesn’t undo the hard work you’ve been putting in back at the home gym.
So here you go.
A quick, simple warmup.
Then 10 squats to 10 squat jumps
REST 1 minute
Then 10 pushups to 10 explosive pushups
REST 1-2 minutes
Back to the squats.
Repeat 3-5 rounds.
Go for a long, easy jog
OR
Do 5-20 short, fast sprints (10-20seconds) with 30-60 seconds rest in between.
Make sure they put salt on the rim of your cocktail to replenish those electrolytes you just sweat out. Cheers!
SAVE THIS FOR YOU NEXT BEACH VACATION
Have shoulder pain? 🤕 Want to avoid shoulder injuries? Get them stronger! Make them bulletproof.
This series of exercises targets all the muscles that are chronically weak in the vast majority of the clients I train. This weakness is a big part of why I’ve experienced shoulder injuries while training. I am now committed to avoiding such injuries in the future, for myself and the clients I train.
Use this as a warmup for your next “shoulder day” at the gym, and/or as a stand alone series to be repeated 3-4 times for a solid shoulder workout in and of itself.

Enjoy!
