Recognizing Small Successes

Happy days everybody! I’m incredible sorry for not posting more frequently like I use to but I’ve been hard at work in the community, trying to put more focus on helping those living around me. There has been a lot of impact being made and I couldn’t be happier! As for what I would like to discuss today, the topic of recognizing small successes; came about like most of my material, by speaking with clients and members within my community. I’ve been given the blessing of being

Do We Need Motivation? [Preventing Disease]

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,

Going After What You Want

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

Defining Our Health Goals

Happy Thursday team! As some of you might be aware of, my wife and I have recently started our own Youtube channel-Taz Fitness. We are incredibly excited to open up another avenue that we can use to help individuals achieve a happier and healthier life! Yesterday, we released a video describing the "triangle of health goals." If you have not watched the video already, I highly encourage you to take a few minutes and watch the video to get a deeper understanding of what the di

Our Addictions & Sabotaging Our Goals

It is of no secret to anybody that the majority of our culture in North America is fascinated and borderline obsessed with flashiness. Everyday, we dive into our social media accounts checking our newest subscribers, followers, likes, etc. without ever being aware of the addiction that is taking over so many of us-the need for attention and to appear superior over everyone else (aka pride and ego). This generation is addicted with producing "flashy content", in the fitness in

Why the 80% Nutrition/20% Fitness Rule is Dead!

Want to achieve a healthier lifestyle? Do you desire more energy and longevity? Well, the answer is simple, right? Focus 80% of your attention to proper nutrition and 20% of your attention on exercising, then you will achieve all the goals that you desire.....WRONG! Any new health enthusiasts will preach this phrase to you in motivational photos on their Instagram accounts while telling their friends to simply eat less (or eat more protein) or exercise more if they hit a plat

From Bodybuilding to Crossfit

Great day everyone! Well, Hurricane Irma has come and gone and left a path of destruction behind. Through God's grace, we never lost power during the storm which is a miracle blessing all by itself! We luckily didn't suffer too much house damage other than a few damages to our front porch that can easily be fixed. We had a few tree branches fall over that got cut up within a few hours. So all in all, the Rodriguez family made it through alright. If anyone is in need of help r

Lower Back Pain: Causes & Relief

Howdy everyone! I know, it's been a little while since I've been here but I promise that it isn't without good cause. September has really started off with a boom, and I mean literally-BOOM! We are currently 4 days away from experiencing a category 3/4 hurricane (thanks Irma) so wifey and I have been running around, making sure we have everything in order. Anyways...while speaking in the Wellness category; one of the most searched sentences on Google and other search engines

Still Struggling To Lose Weight?

"I've tried everything. I exercise all the time. I eat healthy. I know what I'm doing." These are constant sentences I hear on a daily basis from clients, friends, family, associates and even current colleagues. But yet, something is still amiss. Do you say these things on the regular to others? A lot of the time, our natural pride (especially with males) takes over and we hit plateaus; then stubbornly decide to instead of asking for help, we depend on internet research, diet

Friday Motivation

Happy Friday everyone! We made it another week :) One thing I have noticed since beginning my weight loss journey originally in 2010-11 was the amount of gimmicky fitness plans there were (and still are) on the market. All trying to convince us to spend our hard earned dollars because their program guarantees results like no other competitor. When I originally started to learn how to lose weight when I topped over 200 lbs, I did everything from Insanity, to P90X, to Bootcamps
