In today's episode, we go back to the fitness well and talk about back extensions. Are they bad for you? Well, the way you might be doing them might not be the most efficient way you could. In fact, the way most people do it leads to injury. Today we're going to talk about how to efficiently execute this move and how you can prevent yourself from getting hurt doing everyday tasks in life.

What is truth? Everyone has their own perspective and many people believe that they know the right thing for others. But do they really? Today, we're gonna talk about the Will Smith & Chris Rock feud and what it means for us in the search for our individual truths.

If Plan A doesn't go as planned, then it's probably because you had a backup. Having a backup plan automatically decreases your chances of success in the first plan. Why? Well we'll go into that in today's episode, as well as what the best things are to do in the gym if you want to create the most efficient workout. 

One of my clients was asking me why if they are in better shape that they feel achy. It's not uncommon and it's a microcosm for life and achieving what you want from it. Sometimes you'll have aches, but there is a way to get rid of them. In your workouts as well as in life...

You know, many of those things that we say are hard, are really not. It's a matter of believing they're not hard and then simply taking action. In today's episode, I'm going to convince you to take action because that's what you really want to be doing anyway. 

In today's episode, I talk about how important it is to your success if you keep going. Not only with specific exercises like leg extensions, but in life. Like with driving a car or with projects that you may not have the most inspiration for.

In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite topics, running. I can't say it's my favorite thing to do, but I do love coaching people on how to be a better runner. I talked a little about this last episode and have a little more in-depth information that might help you to do better on the road, field, or court.

In today's episode, I talk about why you shouldn't listen to or watch most social media athletes for creating your workouts. They may be strong and look good, but there is something very important that they lack in their training...context.

Today I was doing some spring cleaning and as I miraculously caught a bottle that fell off the fridge, I thought about how so many of the greatest things happen when nobody's watching. It lead me to think about how many of us wish to be remembered after we're gone. Take this journey with me through finding happiness in the everyday things and it leading to something great. 

I was filling up my gas tank today and I was shocked at the price. Almost $50 to fill up. Then I started thinking about how grateful I was to be able to afford that and then I started thinking about the times I couldn't afford it. Gratitude is only part of the equation, but today I'm going to talk about why most people fail and how to prevent it.

We all have experienced either suffering or pain. But is it inevitable? Possibly not. In today's episode, we're going to talk about the two choices you have once you realize you're in pain. Either accept it or not. 

In this episode, I talk a little bit about self-awareness. But not in the way you would normally think. Sometimes it's good to literally just check in on yourself. How are you doing? What are you up to and where might your actions lead? All good questions and here are some helpful ways to look at your life that can lead to you surpassing your potential.

In this episode, I share a little bit about a recent personal disappointment and how you should deal with results that aren't what you wanted.

I wanted to talk about this last week, but I saved it for this week because it's the last day of Black History Month. I wanted to touch a little bit on why so many choose to compare their traumas and misfortunes when the easiest and happiest life is focusing on the possibilities and opportunities. 

In today's episode, I talk about one-night stands. Just kidding. I'm actually talking about the parallels of stretching and doing something that doesn't have much value, but feels good. You can probably tell my position on stretching just from this description, but it's worth a listen to find out why stretching is so bad for you. 

In this episode, I talk about the importance of building forgiveness into your actions, beliefs, and for other people. We're not perfect...all of us so it's important to forgive because it's simply a happier way to live.

I started this episode by talking about an interaction I had on social media. It led me to think about how we deal with doubt and anxiety in life, especially as it pertains to our happiness. Today, I talked about how doing what you love is your only option for happiness. This isn't to say that you should eat chips and watch tv on the sofa all day. It's deeper than that and so is this episode.

This episode is filled with personal stories of quitting, thinking about quitting, and persevering. We all have times we want to quit, the question however, is when the right time to quit actually is. Are there signs? Is there something that we should take into consideration before we quit? We'll talk about that in today's episode.

This episode is more or less a continuation of my episode on happiness from last week. Last week I spoke in more general terms on how you can create happiness in your life. In today's episode I talk more about my life and I how I personally create happiness in it. 

In this episode, I discuss happiness, but not in the cliche sense in which you're always smiling and dopey. What I mean is a true sense of happiness in which you have meaning and understanding in your life. It's absolutely possible and this is how you do it. 

I know the title sounds silly and the advice I'm gonna give you in this episode might sound silly, but honestly, it's super effective. Plus, many of my clients (men and women) thank me for given them the ability to twerk (and more importantly, engage their pelvic floor).

I recorded this episode with a specific (type of) conversation in mind. A lot of people tend to ask me what's good for them. Today, I'm gonna tell you what's good for you.

In today's episode, I talk about which is easier between training someone that hasn't exercised before and someone with a fitness background. The answer and reasoning might surprise you and shed light on what you're up to in your own life.

In this episode, I talk about a personal story of burnout and how to prevent burnout in your own life. It's actually surprisingly simple, but not always so easy.

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of exercise gadgets pop up in my news feed. I wanted to talk today about posture because it's so important and so easy to work on. In this episode, I will discuss two really important exercises to help improve your posture and your life.
