Another Great Time in Boston Part 1 with Primal Move and Tai Chi
Another whirlwind tour of the best Boston has to offer was sandwiched carefully between leading Primal Move workshops - an instructor certification workshop on Saturday, and then a 3hr "intro to" for all populations on Sunday. The group who signed up for the instructor cert were some of the smartest most capable instructors/trainers I've seen in a while - their individual … [Read more...] about Another Great Time in Boston Part 1 with Primal Move and Tai Chi

Neuro-Mass Photoshoot with Jon Bruney, Matt Maher and Dragon Door!
Recently returned home from an incredible experience in MN with Dragon Door. Watching the seasoned photography crew from so many past Dragon Door books come together and work so seamlessly was a sight to be seen! While I had a very short stint as a "model" as a kid in the 1980s (funny story, involves a giant pool of cold water, goggles, and a whole lot of clothes pins), … [Read more...] about Neuro-Mass Photoshoot with Jon Bruney, Matt Maher and Dragon Door!
Updates, More Interviews, Mike Gillette Makes Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, and a Workout Programming Question

A Visit To The Salt Room
It'd been nearly 3 years since I'd had anything even slightly resembling the common cold, so I suppose it was only fair to come down with one. Considering all the planes, trains, buses, rented cars, etc that I've been in over the past few years its pretty surprising, and a decent testament to what I've been doing with exercise and nutrition. Granted, this cold wasn't all … [Read more...] about A Visit To The Salt Room
Primal Move Comes to Gaithersburg and a Visit with Mike Krivka and Phil Ross
The recent Primal Move certification workshop in Gaithersburg (near Washington DC) went really really well. Mike Krivka's gym, CrossFit Koncepts was the perfect location for Primal Move as well as the RKC Recertification with Master RKC Phil Ross on the following day. A large open space, and good heaters running. Between you and me, I was a little concerned that we'd freeze in … [Read more...] about Primal Move Comes to Gaithersburg and a Visit with Mike Krivka and Phil Ross
