Warming up should be a serious staple in every individual’s routine. Unfortunately, I see the vast majority simply walk into the gym, they MIGHT do a 5 min cardio warm up and then they go slapping plates on a bar thinking they are The Rock or something. Not warming up properly will not only increase your chances at receiving an injury, but it will severely decrease your overall performance in the gym. The point of any routine is to become better, right? Then you better star

Hello everyone! May I ask a serious question? Who is still progressing with their new year's resolutions? How many people have edited them and how many are not even participating any longer? Reflection and revision is important; this isn't the topic of today's blog but I believe that regardless, this is an important question to ask to help keep everyone on track and attempting to move the needle forward with their goals. If you stopped, get back into it. You only fail when yo

THANK GOD IT'S MONDAY! Great morning everyone. Here is a little motivation to get you through the work day :) Remember, negativity isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes, negativity plays a key role in developing our truest forms and potential. Look at struggles as opportunities, not setbacks!

Great Morning Team, One of the biggest things I hear from people on a weekly basis is that they lack motivation. They know that they should be more active and eat healthier; ultimately, they are unhappy with their current health state but simply lack the drive to get up early, stay up late, to workout, to prep the meals, to take the supplements, etc, etc. I sometimes ask myself this… Is the term "motivation" the appropriate word to use in this scenario? Throughout every day,

HAPPY MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY! I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving break. How easily can we fall into the trap of lacking motivation after going back to work from several days off, it's pretty freaking easy! So, I wanted to bring to you (and make public) an older newsletter of mine that was sent out to the subscribers of our Health & Fitness newsletter that can hopefully help some of us get back on track. Before we know it, the new year will be here and 2017 will be over

Great Monday everyone! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and that you are ready to dominate this week! Over the last couple of weeks, I've been blessed with new opportunities that I didn't think would ever be happening. If you would've asked me a few months earlier that I would be in the position that I am currently, I probably wouldn't have believed you. Nevertheless, I wanted to send you off to your work week with something to think about before we automatically dive in

The first step in everyone's weight loss journey should always consist of sitting down in a quiet space and getting really REAL with yourself. It isn't sexy to talk about life choices and writing down your calories for the day but real coaches insist on this. Achieving a long-lasting healthy lifestyle is more than just workout routines and diet tips. It is also about managing stressful situations, overcoming previous habits and having a complete change in our mindsets. Repeat

Great morning team! It is currently 8am on a cold and beautiful Friday morning and I couldn't enjoy it more. This past week, I've been trying to get back into a more strict & positive morning routine after slipping for a few weeks. Oh how quickly life can throw a curveball at your face and cause you to test your agility! Why are positive morning routines important? Because they set the tone for the day ahead! How is your mental state after you wake up? Are you staying positiv
