Live Your Fitness In This Moment

"Fitness is a journey; not a destination." -Coach Josey. There are a lot of great things about having Coach Josey around: fun, affection, silliness, etc. But possibly her greatest teaching gift is her ability to show us how to truly live joyfully in the moment. Life cannot be lived in the past or the present. There is no place or time at which to eventually arrive. There is only this moment. And so it is with fitness. We can (and should) train with the intent of being better each day. But we … [Read more...] about Live Your Fitness In This Moment

Honesty in weight loss

Erroneous! The most effective move for reducing belly fat is the Push-Away. That's where you push yourself away from the food. It's very difficult but incredibly effective. Seriously, the benefits of exercise are nearly boundless. But if you're trying to lose weight and body fat, the best way is to get your nutrition squared away. Start following @robbwolf , robbwolf.com. There is no magic pill; just common sense nutrition, Yes, you'll fall off the wagon some days. Dust yourself off, and get … [Read more...] about Honesty in weight loss

When the time comes… we’ll be here.

January is over.  And we know there are a lot of folks who had high hopes and sincere intentions for the New Year and their fitness.  Which is to say they had a resolution.  But a resolution is really just a declaration.  You can make them without actually or fully changing what's on the inside.  Resolute, however, is a way of BEING.  It's part of your character.  It doesn't come and go.  And it doesn't matter what time of year it is.  So remember, we'll be around when you trade your resolution … [Read more...] about When the time comes… we’ll be here.

Not so fast with my bacon, ya Hah-vard barnies.

Here's a great article on the faults of the recent Harvard media release Red Meat Consumption Linked to Increased Risk of Total, Cardiovascular, and Cancer Mortality.  The article author, Gary Taubes, also wrote Why We Get Fat; a book we highly recommend.  An exerpt from the article: This is an issue about science itself and the quality of research done in nutrition. Those of you who have read Good Calories, Bad Calories know that in the epilogue I make a point to say that I never used the … [Read more...] about Not so fast with my bacon, ya Hah-vard barnies.

VERY interesting!

Wheat Belly by William Davis "is an illuminating look at what is truly making Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this seemingly benign ingredient."  Guess what just made our reading list?! From UndergroundWellness.com: The truth is that we are not eating the same grains that Moses may have snacked on as he hiked up Mount Sinai. In fact, we’re not even eating the same grains our grandparents ate! In just a mere 50 years, grains – wheat, in particular – have become a mutant … [Read more...] about VERY interesting!

Are you emotionally chained to your scale?

Some clients are surprised that we don't weigh them first thing walking in the door. This article is a great example of why. We don't care what you weigh because IT'S NOT A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF PROGRESS. Better indicators are waist and hip measurements, and body fat levels. Even better is performance. If you are getting stronger, faster, and fitter you WILL be more healthy and your body WILL change. So get started! Picture from EverydayDayPaleo.com … [Read more...] about Are you emotionally chained to your scale?
