Hips Don’t Lie
March 26, 2008
I don’t know of too many sports out there where your “hips” aren’t one of the most important things to train and develop. I have watched thousands of sporting events up close and personal most of my professional life, and it is more than apparent that the athletes that have the best “hips” are generally the best performers on the field, court, or mat.
My favorite PULLING exercises
March 5, 2008
If you have read my free report or listened to my spot on the Naked Nutrition Radio this week, you know that I am a big proponent of balancing out the shoulder complex through proper exercise choices. Through my years training people and taking care of injuries, it has become painfully obvious that most people have strength programs that are dominated by pushing type of exercise and very few pulling exercises.

“No weight training for me, I’m just going to do cardio today!”
February 27, 2008
How many times have you heard something similar to that or said it yourself. I bet a lot. I hear it all of the time and have been guilty of telling people to just do cardio today instead of weights. Looking back and thinking about it, many of us have missed the boat with our “cardio day.”
Let’s break it down…honestly. Why do most people do “cardio” in the first place? To get in better condition for their daily lives? Maybe some, but most, I would venture to say do their cardio during the week to lose unwanted weight. Seriously, poll people you workout with and ask them why they would walk, jog, or do anything for more than 30 minutes at a time on a machine. Most will tell you that they are burning calories or fat…something like that. Some may be working on the fitness, trying to strengthen their heart or similar, but most are really trying to lose unwanted weight.
Getting Physical
February 7, 2008
So, you want to start a workout program? You want to get into shape? Lose some weight? Get buff? Feel good?
Time to get physical. But before you do, make sure that your workout plan as everything that it needs to get you where you want to be.
How do you like your salad? Just lettuce? No dressing, no croutons, no cheese, no carrots, etc…. That would be a really boring salad and wouldn’t get you anywhere nutritionally. You need to build up your salad and make sure you have a little bit of everything. Add as much as you can, without overdoing it. At the very least, it needs the important components. Proteins, veggies, fats, and maybe some sweet fruit.
Workout plans should be developed in the same kind of way. Throw on what you need, leave off the rest…but make sure you have the musts. Read more
No one ever got worse from being stronger – The Fear of being strong
January 28, 2008
When I sit with people and talk to them about their fitness goals and ambitions, I am still amazed at home many people are truly fearful of gaining strength. Some people have a misconception about what being physically strong is and what it isn’t. Women in general (yes, ladies…I am generalizing here) are more fearful than men in this regard. I hear things like… “I really don’t want to lift anything heavy” or “I have no desire to get strong, I only want to tone up and lose my belly.” The truth is, being strong never hurt anybody. As a matter of fact, increasing your strength will only help you reach your fitness goals sooner and help you more than you ever thought in your daily life. Read more
