If you’re like most people your knee jerk reaction when things get hard is to give up. Our primal brain likes it when life is on auto-pilot, because we don’t have to spend energy on thinking and making decisions.

Feeling extremely sore after a workout is VERY normal under certain circumstances and can be lessoned with time….

What I didn't understand at the time is that just because pain goes away does not mean you are healthy.
There are steps to building fitness, and if you skip steps you risk getting injured. I'd gotten stuck in a cycle of injury from my racing and I wanted to end that cycle. Have you ever felt that way?

So the Coronavirus shut down your gym & you've been forced to workout at home. We don't know when gyms will reopen but we do know it'll never be the same. My mentor has been telling me a fitness industry secret for years now, and I think it's time that I share it with you. You might not like what I have to say, but it's the absolute truth…

If being happy is our end goal, I can only assume that you are currently unhappy. While the standards for a quality life have been rising, so has depression and anxiety. Why is loneliness the driving factor for our current-day problem of consumption…

How are you investing in your health? Your health insurance provides curative care, while fitness provides preventative health. Which would you rather? And which is truly more expensive in the long term?

It’s a little disheartening to read the numbers that show between 30-75% of runners get hurt each year. A little fast math reveals 52% of all runners will get injured to the point of forced time off in the next year. There is no other activity that yields as high of injury rate…. not even CrossFit.
