Back in 2009, I almost had to go to the hospital for leg cramps.     I am not kidding.     They were incredibly severe and both the front and back side of my legs were cramping simultaneously.     That meant that there was no relief in sight, because if I stretched my quads, the hamstring cramp would just get worse and vice versa.     This went on for over an hour.     I have a theory that the mor...

Back in 2013, I began running a contest known as the 'Fat Shredder' that has since become an annual staple for our local clients.   The concept is simple: form a team of 3, train with us, use our Coaching as you see fit and measure your fat lost weekly.   It's not rocket science.   Yet most clients will get their best stretch of results during these 6 weeks.   How?  What gives? That's what I go ov...

'What's your main focus right now BK?' I asked.    'To be totally present with what I am doing.  It's about self-awareness.  There's nothing else I'd rather be doing that what I am doing right now..'

I've got a little secret for you….   I've been studying marketing, influence and personal brand building for 17 years now.     And, it wasn't until a few years ago where I fully accepted that I was weird in many ways and I was just going to flat out embrace it!     Combine those two aspects and you have a 'character in the making'.  I've got so many unbelievable stories from my life that it just m...

I don't believe in massive will power for creating a transformation.   It doesn't work.   I've noticed 3 distinct behaviors that occur when someone sticks on my Panda Diet.   First - The desire for booze goes way down Second - Desire for sweets goes way down and the desire for good, nutritious food goes way up Third - Your ability to take control over your thoughts and inner dialogue goes way up A...

I had a thought this morning, while reflecting back on playing some Sunday morning basketball yesterday.     More often than not, the team I am on, wins.  We don't win every single time, but a large percentage of the time.     I love playing basketball and I realized long ago that a great player should be able to dominate the game without ever taking a shot.  How could that be?   Well, we have the...
