So, on Monday I told you why do don’t need more energy, but rather, that you need to unlock the energy that is already inside of you. On Tuesday I told you about food, one of the main pathways towards achieving that goal. Today is Wednesday, commonly regarded as ‘hump day’ because it’s the middleContinue reading “Bring Wednesdays To Life”

Food Is Your Fuel
Following up on yesterday’s post, the first pathway towards increased energy is to improve the quality of the food you eat. Obviously I’ve written many posts about this before, but we cannot overlook the fact that food is your fuel. If you put junk in the tank, the car’s not going to run well. (OrContinue reading “Food Is Your Fuel”
You Don’t Need More Energy
Chances are that you don’t need more energy. It’s not something that you buy at the store, or find at the end of a rainbow. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but, all of that coffee, and all of those energy drinks are not adding more energy into your system. No, the energy you seek ifContinue reading “You Don’t Need More Energy”
When Do You Work On Your Dreams?
The reason I haven’t written a book yet is because I did not consistently schedule the time to write a book. That’s just an example; the ‘thing’ you haven’t yet done could be anything. Perhaps you haven’t called your brother, gone to the gym, or fixed up your resume. Whatever it is, if you don’tContinue reading “When Do You Work On Your Dreams?”
Training With Intensity
When you’re training, don’t confuse intensity for speed. You can go as fast as you can at something that’s not very intense. On the other hand, you can do something that’s very intense, slowly. Typically speaking, you’ll get much more out of your training when you focus on form & intensity. Going fast for theContinue reading “Training With Intensity”
I Am Crazy.
I am crazy. I have to admit it because I can see how I may look crazy to you when I’m dragging a tire up & down my block in one-hundred degree weather, drinking disgusting looking drinks filled with spirulina powder every morning, or listening to long boring podcasts about mushrooms. I’ve come to realizeContinue reading “I Am Crazy.”
Should I Train With Music?
As usual, it depends. But the answer is not always ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Group session? Probably a ‘yes’. Let’s get the mood right, edgy, hard, and pushing it to the max. But when I train alone, sometimes I just go with the silence. It’s not really silent, of course, because I can hear the soundsContinue reading “Should I Train With Music?”
How Many Reps Should I Do?
Typically it’s one or two more than you think you’re capable of. I fear that a good portion of people do not maximize the efficiency of their time spent exercising when they go into the gym without a plan. Whatever you’re doing, whether it’s beginner push-ups supported on your knees, or heavy squats with aContinue reading “How Many Reps Should I Do?”
The Path Towards The Light
I know that some days are not good days, some weeks are not good weeks, and yes, that even months or years can be hard. You can get discouraged, you can get down, and you can start to feel like crap. But even during the worst of times, you still retain control over something veryContinue reading “The Path Towards The Light”
Training In Extreme Heat
Someone asked me the other day if I was going to do something stupid in the heat wave, such as go play softball and pass out from heat stroke. Softball? No offense to any softball players out there, because I love and respect all sports, but softball is not exactly at the top of myContinue reading “Training In Extreme Heat”
