In this episode, I talk about what it is to create beauty in everyday life. Sometimes, we don't see it until it becomes a spark or a light that illuminates the path in front of us and shows us that life is spectacular and it motivates us to want to shine more light and do more greatness for ourselves and others. But there's always a dark side and we're going to talk about why the sky isn't always...

I was talking to one of my older clients the other day about balance. It's important for all of us. Whether you realize it or not, you use your proprioception to gain awareness of your environment. From walking to running, climbing upstairs, and even standing, we use proprioception to maintain our balance. Learn more about proprioception and improving your balance in today's episode.

What do you do when you want real change in your life? I talked about this a little while back about deserving what you want, but the question for many is what DO you want? Is easier asked than answered for some. Let's dive into this a bit and see if we might find something or someone that might be blocking our potential to live a happy and fulfilled life. 

Most people do some type of warmup before they work out, but are they doing the right type? Today, I'm talking about what we do here at General Fitness Company to get our workouts started.

Today's episode is one that many don't know they need. "Dead butt syndrome" is a real thing (look it up). It affects more people every year because of our increasingly sedentary lifestyle. "Dead butt syndrome," or gluteal amnesia is when your glutes stop firing and your hip flexors and quads get really tight because they are overworked. Usually, this causes low back and hip pain. Today, we're goin...

"They hate us and we don't care." That's been the slogan for the Eagles since 2018 when they won the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, that philosophy didn't play out so well in the game. It doesn't really play out too well in real life, either. Today, we're going to talk about why it's so important to be loved by at least one person.

I pivoted a little on this episode. I was going to talk about small things like donuts that add up to big calories, but I thought more about it and felt we needed a gratitude episode. So today we're going to talk about how little bits of goodness amount to big wins.

In this episode, I tell a short story from this weekend about my bout against an undefeated champion. We all have or will face this champion at some point in our lives and I'm going to tell you the best way to try to beat him.

I brought this episode back because I find that it has so many great techniques and systems on how to not only be a good entrepreneur but a kind and generous person. This episode is based on a movie about a great sushi chef and how they became one of the tops in the world. There are some great lessons in here so I hope that some of them ring true for you. 

Today was a nice mix of new age woo woo and actual science. I feel this is where the fundamental knowledge is...right at that intersection. There are some interesting things that our mind can do with the brain. ESP, psychic phenomena, literal altering of our genetics. There is a lot that we still are unclear on, but what's for sure is that we change every day, whether you change into what you want...

You know, national quit day or drop day was January 12th. That's the day that everyone drops their New Year's resolutions. Hopefully, that's not you. But if it is, not to worry. In this episode, I drop 5 gems on how you can build or start (...again) your fitness program. They'll help you set a healthy routine that will encourage you to keep going rather than feeling defeated after the first week l...

We all have bad days. You can probably recall a specific tough time that was especially memorable. The thing is that we have to get through those days. But how? In today's episode, I talk about what I do to get through bad days and what I advise my clients to do when the waters get a little tricky. 

International Give Up Day was not too long ago. That's the day when everyone usually gives up on their New Year Resolutions. The reason why most people give up on their fitness resolutions is that they didn't get the results they had hoped for. Usually, it's because they went too hard on the cardio or the weight training and are too sore to return. Pacing yourself goes without saying, but there is...

I had a conversation about functional training with a client today. The discussion was just a few minutes, but afterward, it made me think for a bit. Some people don't have the privilege of picking my brain when it comes to fitness (although you are always welcome to ask questions) so I thought I would take the topic online and talk about why functional training separates itself as one of the best...

We all want to be productive or at least get done what we want to get done. Sometimes, we find ourselves in a position where we are doing too many things at once. Studies show that multi-tasking doesn't work. So what should we do? Create a smart plan! Today, I'm discussing a couple of scenarios. One happened to have someone doing too much a paying the price, the other is an example of achieving so...

This is a "Wayback Wednesday" episode from last year where I talked about the most efficient and effective exercises. I narrowed it down throughout the episode and talked about the easiest exercise, the most effective exercise, and a few exercises that people think are good, but are really not the best. Stay tuned and take notes. I'm about to change the way you exercise.

We're back with another new season and this is a very informative one about low back pain. Many people suffer from low back pain and sometimes have to go as far as getting surgery on their back. I've had many people come in with low back pain so, I've created an episode full of my favorite exercises to strengthen their posture so that strength in the low back improves and pain is virtually gone wi...

It's the last episode of 2022. I'll be back on January 16th, but I had some things to share with you so that you can do some thinking until I get back. This has been a wild year. Not as wild as the two previous years, but we've had some things to distract us from our everyday life. I started by talking about some of this year's events but then decided that it would be better to discuss how we coul...

Want to have tighter skin and be pain-free? Well, I have the episode for you today. We’re gonna be talking about how to improve your connective tissue called fascia. Fascia and fascial conditioning have been gaining a buzz in the fitness community however, it still doesn’t get the recognition that I think it should. I’ve personally been using this method of training for years and reaping the benef...

I thought this episode to be apropos for this evening. It's the winter solstice. The shortest day of the year, so it makes sense to talk about shortcuts. This is a throwback from October where I reminisce about a trainer encouraging people to take shortcuts to their goals. We'll discuss what that might mean for you in the new year.

In this episode, I talked about the famous Herschel Walker pushup routine. While he may not be the most popular name right now, at one time, he was the most gifted athlete on the field. It's been said and verified that he did up to 3,000 pushups a day. That's an amazing feat and we're going to look into how one can accomplish that on their own today.

This is a replay from earlier this year, but it's an excellent one that talks about why people should STOP caring what other people think and start caring MORE about what they think about themselves. So many people put pressure on themselves to live up to others' expectations or keep up appearances that they don't think to look at what they actually want from life. Also if you're looking to get an...

This was a fun episode about magic and the occult. I've been learning more about it recently because my associate just got her certification in astrology and tarot reading and I wanted to know more about it. What I found couldn't cover one episode, but I tried my best to give you the most valuable part which is the 12 Universal Laws. Much of this was researched online. However, there is a very int...

A life without having made a choice is a life unlived. We all make choices in life whether we want to or not. Even when we don't make a choice, we actively choose not to do so. So with that understanding, we now have to accept our choices. Today, we will be talking about the choices we make and how they affect our lives. For better or for worse, it's worthwhile to understand our choices and the fr...

In today's episode, I talked about balance and what it can cost you if you don't have good balance. Studies show that if you are over the age of 65 there is a decent chance that a fall could result in death. I talked about a few exercises that you can try, but I also talked about balance in life. Everyone talks about work/life balance, but that can be misleading when it comes to living a healthy f...
