Fat guys with crazy mobility?
One of the biggest mistakes we all make (I still do it all of the time) when it comes to fitness is judging the book by its cover. When you see a lean guy with low body fat %, I guarantee you assume that he is mobile and stretchy as...
Resting does NOT mean cheating
If you’re following along, yesterday was Easter, which means a lot of food and a few cold beer trappings. But, it was a Sunday, so why not, right? Of course, every now and again, it’s fine to over-indulge a bit – we’re here to enjoy ourselves. However, here’s a problem...

The same 4 steps to results…for anything!
Yesterday, yours truly was down at Augusta for Monday’s practice round. And if you’ve been following along, we got rained out. Sure, that’s a long way to go to rained out, but my first experience at the Masters was still awesome. They do soooo many things great. Got me thinking…we...

Pick up 2 things today: something heavy AND a vegetable
Yesterday, we talked about the deeper emotional reasons we want to get in shape. Today, let’s change gears, and keep it light on the surface. If you’re like most of us, you’ve pictured yourself on the cover of Men’s Health rocking your 6-pack. But, it hasn’t happened yet (the 6-pack and the...
