First off... new workouts coming soon (I've been doing them and writing them for others but unfortunately having enough time to share them here) That will change AND soon we'll have workouts coming in a whole new form (still posting them as always, but adding a cool new product/project for you). Anyway here's some thoughts! What can we learn from solving a given … [Read more...] about Keep Learning, Stay Curious

An Experimental Workbook and Interesting Things to Think About
Frankly over the past couple months I have been neglecting one of my own weekly "meetings" known as Strategy Wednesday. One thing after another, maybe a conference call, or more likely a case of getting too psyched about finishing a task on or before the self-imposed deadline for it caused Strategy Wednesday to fall by the wayside. This was not a good thing, but still I kept … [Read more...] about An Experimental Workbook and Interesting Things to Think About

Reflections on a 21 Day Challenge and the Concept of Self Discipline
Another friend on Facebook started a neat "21 Day Challenge" a little while ago. The basic premise being 21 goals in 21 days - and... they don't all have to be large goals, they should be all sizes and all themes - but things which can realistically be accomplished in the 21 days. Needless to say I got in on this immediately, as I had been making some itemized (don't ask...) … [Read more...] about Reflections on a 21 Day Challenge and the Concept of Self Discipline
Hawaii, Motivation, Priorities, American Ninja Warrior… [with videos]
Hawaii Adventure, or how I ended up doing pull ups right next to the Pacific Ocean... Those of you on Instagram already know some of what's in this post, but I wanted to kind of fill in the details here and there. In recent years I've gotten into a travel habit, so much so that if I have to stick around in one place too long I get a little annoyed. Granted the constant … [Read more...] about Hawaii, Motivation, Priorities, American Ninja Warrior… [with videos]
Strategy Wednesday: A Visit to the Floatation Tanks…
[Warning, this is not a normal post about exercise or food. It gets a little weird and silly in places, so if you don't feel like reading it, no hard feelings, there will be more talk about exercise and food coming later in the week.] Whenever possible, I try to take at least a small part of each Wednesday (at least an hour, hopefully much more) for redirection, goal setting, … [Read more...] about Strategy Wednesday: A Visit to the Floatation Tanks…

This makes you fairly unique these days, and most likely that will make you stand out within a given peer group. Interestingly, many times the people who are just starting to make healthy changes to their lives are under … [Read more...] about The World is Watching You
