Deadlines to meet, problems to solve, traffic to wait in, bills to pay: the list is long. In fact, modern life stresses you out from the time you get up until you go to bed at night. But what if the hectic pace is actually good for you? Humans are happier when they’re busy after …
To be honest, most nights after I get done the 9-5 grind and evening client work, I sit down for a few hours of mindless TV watching. Usually it’s sports, because that’s what I love, but it could be anything. It’s the downtime that’s important. But it wasn’t always like that. There was a time I …
I was wrong. When I first became a coach, I thought every client would instantly buy in and find the passion for exercise and health to the same level I was at. “OMG, is that purple kale from Australia? AWESOME!” But, frankly, I was the weird one. Because I completely forgot where I came from. 13 …

Get over yourself. You can’t be bothered to finish that book you’ve started and stopped five times in the last year. You can’t be bothered to take the leap and establish that business you’ve always wanted. You can’t be bothered to go to the gym or start eating better. You can’t be bothered. And that’s …
This post was inspired by reading Mike Vacanti’s 12 Life Changing Lessons My Dad Taught Me “How’d that compare to the rest of your class?” It was a question I’d heard before. But I didn’t really know the answer this time, nor most times for that matter. It’s not like they list off the test …
So my life changed at 5:02 a.m. yesterday. Something weighing less than 8 lbs is giving me a fresh take on life. I truly understand what unconditional love is now. As soon as I held little Quinn in my arms, I knew life would never be the same again. I’m responsible for someone now. If you’re a …
So you’ve tried getting in shape before and failed. Miserably. We’ve all been there. You start out on a Monday (of course) with the best of intentions, but by Thursday you’re eyeing up every off limits food in sight and finding any excuse to avoid that scheduled visit with the trainer. What gives? Why does …

I don’t always feel inspired to work out or eat right, and I miss workouts or devour a large two-topping pizza in one sitting once in awhile. But I don’t beat myself up over the setbacks. And I know what to do, diet and training wise, to quickly reverse course and get back on the …
I’m still reeling from the surprise turn of events during Monday’s episode of Bachelor in Paradise, so bear with me… Beautiful women seem to have a way of getting what they want with subtle manipulation… In case you haven’t been watching it (shame on you), two characters on the show, Samantha and Joe, texted AT …
The first 21 years of my life were pretty average in the fitness department. In fact, that lack of physical activity led to some pretty average results in other areas of my life, too. I played hockey, but not at a high level nor much past age 14. I sought satisfaction from video games and …
Just checking in on you… We’re at the halfway point – 2015 is half over. What have you been up to? Did you keep your resolutions that you made back in January or are you way off track? Whether you made a resolution or not, you probably set goals for yourself, right? Be honest. Are …
You know what’s creepy? Squirrels that look at you a bit too long. Creepy. The guy on the street walking fast with a backpack. Super creepy. The other people in the doctor’s waiting room. Awkwardly creepy. But the worst of the worst is those folks who own multiple cats. Cat ladies (or cat men, I don’t gender-judge) …
