Experienced Personal Training, Evidenced Based Nutrition and Intelligent Conversation!Posts RSS Comments RSS
It’s easy to become enthusiastic about fitness for a month, six-months or even a year for that matter. But to stay enthusiastic about fitness for five years, a decade, even a life-time… is a matter altogether different. To purposely and intelligently drive yourself through the grind of fitness, at a passioned pitch, with deep dedication and life-long fortitude… well that’s simply where the very serious separate themselves.

It’s been said that pride is the sign of a foolish man… yet, in my opinion, pride used wisely is the sign of a healthy man.
There’s been plenty of things done in the name of pride that surely were better left undone. But, when used as a valuable tool and powerful motivator… it’s been the influence behind numerous accomplishments and memorable performances.
The power of pride should never be abused or underestimated… it should only be used to your greatest advantage and treated carefully like a sword.

We all go through changes or phases in our lives. Sometimes the changes come quickly and sometimes the phases come slowly… but they never fail to materialize. To effectively deal with change it’s important to know yourself… and to know yourself takes great effort and dedicated discipline. We have to challenge ourselves and study ourselves with a focused awareness that’s meant to provide and allow for growth. Regardless of the changes or the phases in our lives, it’s important to be interested in growing mentally, spiritually and physically stronger. Any other objective – or lack of objective – will only lead to weakness.

I’ve grown to appreciate – if not outright love – high intensity workouts with shorter duration!
My newest tool in this quest – a bike model called “Pugsley” made by a bicycle company out of Minnesota called “Surly”.
The wheels and tires of the Pugsley are the biggest in the bicycle industry.
They were initially made for snow and sand… but I have other plans for them.
Heavy and really quite cumbersome “Pugsley”will get plenty of exercise out here in the hills of Ahwatukee.
(With the rear bag full of tools, the bike weighs over 50lbs).

Re-visiting a helpful and laconic book on nutrition.
Worth a read at (least once to) understand nutrition in short form.

As a life-long personal trainer and fitness coach my training paradigm is much like a steel structure; rigid and solid in actual form but flexible in essence. I approach the largest concepts and the smallest of details with an open mind because I consider fitness to be an art form. I’m constantly considering, pondering and refining the techniques, methods and approach.
