My brother brought this to my attention — Herschel Walker’s mixed martial arts debut. This guy is awesome! He’s 47 years old. He’s in tremendous condition, and he shows what is possible with focus, hard work, and determination. Now, all of us aren’t world-class athletes like Herschel, but all of us can be in great [...]

Think about this: If being fantastically fit was easy, everybody would be fantastically fit. Why? Because everybody would like to be in good shape. Isn’t that true? Why isn’t everybody fit? I can think of two reasons. One is that their health is declining and won’t permit them to do what it takes to be fit. The [...]

I’m working with a guy on fat loss right now. He’s very disciplined with his workouts and he is mostly disciplined with his eating. However, that “mostly” disciplined eating may be torpedoing his efforts. You might ask, what makes his eating “mostly” disciplined? The answer is: occasional “snacks”. If you are attempting to lose weight, snacks [...]

Here’s a cool quote from the baddest basketball player in history (in my opinion), Micheal Jordan: One day you might look up and see me playing the game at 50…. Oh don’t laugh; never say never. Because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.” - Michael Jordan’s NBA Hall of Fame Acceptance Speech September 11, 2009 Limits, [...]
