Buckle up, we are going into deep emotional water on this one... Imagine...you meet your untimely demise (wow...that's intense)...before you leave...you are able to build the prefect parent for your kids What kinds of traits, values, characteristics would that person have?  What would their day consist of?  How would they provide to your kids?  What would their relationship be like?...

Ever look around a room you're in and make a note if most, some or any people in that room are people you want to look like, have the abilities of, or have the habits of, in the future? I do. It might sound conceited to admit it; it's the truth.  It's also the truth that we should all be doing it. It's the difference between being a victim of circumstance or taking ownership of your future. &...

Spoiler Alert: Cardio machines alone never get people to their actual goals I read an article with this title from Sean Pastuch on LinkedIn this past week, and, as a fitness professional, I felt called out (and that's a good thing) I've taken this approach as an athlete myself, take the less invasive/don't want to bother anyone, and NEVER have I felt as strong as I've wanted to; NEVER have I looke...

I’ve been breathing my whole life…so far so good… Why even bother training breathing? Everyone has at least one dysfunctional response pattern where breathing is concerned. Take some time to think about it. I guarantee you have one.  These responses pile up over time and result in chronic stress loads that UNDERMINE PERFORMANCE What if every time you lost your temper could be attributed to yo...

I get a lot of folks asking about breath work, so this bonus episode takes you through an exercise example This is an exercise I put together with Soldiers in the North Dakota Army National Guard in mind and could seamlessly tailor exercises like this for all kinds of communities 🙂 “What if you could define what “better” looks and, more importantly, feels like in less than 20mins… Breath work and...

I want everyone to be able to walk to their mailbox on the day they die... We are not there yet... Why? Little by little, over time, our abilities unnoticeably slip away unless...we check in What if, over the course of every year, we had ways to determine if we're slipping, so we can do something about it I'm working with a crew who are developing these kinds of assessments to help bridge the gap...

So you just got out of the doc's office (surgeon, primary care, physical therapist, chiropractor...) and they tell you, "we're good here, just ease back into normal daily activities". What does that even mean? Most of the time they're sending you back to the "scene or the crime" where that injury/pain/aggravation started. That can be scary, right?  Even if there's no "logical" reason for you...

Most of us have/had define(d) personal and professional relationship success by longevity (I know I did/do still sometimes) That mindset was the source of a lot of confusion/frustration for me when I found myself out of misaligned with organizations that I was honored to be a part of at the start... What if adhering into the "Campsite Rule" (leave things better than how you found them) / mutual gr...

We've all been in a spot where we just "need a win" Take a listen to my story, and see if you can spot yours too.

Can you pinpoint the day when you became an "adult"?  The day you stopped having fun, the day you stopped playing, the stopped being curious, stopped exploring, stopped trying something new? The day you had to have the right answers and you felt the weight of the world on your shoulders I spent the last half of my 20's in this space...it was black and white and I thought life was supposed to...

You just put a bunch of blood, sweat and tears into a competition (race, meet, tournament) and in a blink an eye it's gone (cancelled, injury, unexpected emergency...) Now what? We can't make the shock and anger go away...and all is not lost

We’ve all been there, legs burning, lungs burning, 2 minutes into your 30 minute workout 😳 Little bit science knowledge, little shift in mindset will revolutionize your relationship with cardio 👟👟

If you're annoyed with the thought of goal setting, this is for you. Your relationship with goal setting is more important than any process/hack/tip/tactic that you'll come across. You may actually be better off not setting a goal at all than setting one you don't actually care to realize.

The best way to set yourself up for success is to start the night before.   Lay out your clothes, make your lunch, pack your gym bag, do what you can the night before, it's a game changer

In the last week or so I've had my own experience with pain.   My right hip acts up when I'm not on track.  When I ignore my hip, it quickly turns into a low back, hamstring, shoulder issue along with my hip.   Feeling pain/weakness in movements that felt fine a day earlier completely sucks, there's no other way to put it.  My mind immediately jumped into the familiar panic tha...
