It’s true, lifting heavy weights will get you stronger.

You know what’s also true? Lifting light weights will get you stronger, if you know how to use them.

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing for the past several years recovering and regaining muscle mass and strength after four major surgeries.

This pic shows what I used yesterday in my strength routine. Nothing really heavy like I used to use. I initially started with much lighter weights and resistance bands, in a varying routine using simple joint-friendly exercises that anyone can do, which do not require going to a gym.

That’s exactly what my new coaching program is designed to teach, exactly what I’ve done and still do today to regain and build muscle mass, get stronger and stay lean.

Stay tuned.

I did something about 6 weeks ago that I haven’t done in over 15 years. I hired a professional coach for myself.

Actually, I hired two business coaches. One to teach me how to master our new CRM marketing system and website for CF Cleveland and another to help me launch my new remote coaching program to help older guys get stronger and lose weight as they get older, even after injury or surgery. I happen to be uniquely qualified to do that😎

It’s hard to believe the change in my outlook and focus, and feeling like I’ve broken out of a several year rut. A comfortable rut, but a rut none the less. Oddly enough, it changed almost immediately when I stopped trying to do everything myself on a self-imposed shoestring budget.

All the ideas churning around in my head are now getting pulled together, sorted out and acted upon. Apparently I had so many, I needed to hire two coaches to kick my ass and keep me on track🤡

Stay tuned for more. Cheers!

HEALTH IS A DAILY PRACTICE, NOT A 30-DAY DIET. 💥

As the summer weather approaches and we worry about going to the pool, how we might look, what we should or should not eat... here is a reminder.

Your health is a DAILY practice, not some 30-day fad diet.

Don't restrict your food because the weather is nice, don't change your body to make others happy, don't follow fad diets that won't last.

Respect your body, put in daily habits that will lead to success, and feel good. 💪🏼
