The Healthcare System: Part 1:: How You Should Really Think About Healthcare, Doctors and Hospitals
In America, we have the gift of having some of the best healthcare available and the curse of the worse system to run it. Because most large government bureaucracies are run the same, it means people who make progress are not rewarded and people who make mistakes are fired and punished. This is literally the surest way to make sure no one sticks their neck out and does what needs to be done or have the balls to discover a new way of treatment. This is the most dangerous way t

Why Your HIIT Class isn't Changing Your Body
Most women start exercising for a change in body composition. This goal is to lose fat and build muscle. They sometimes don’t know this is what they are looking for. Their goals sound like “I want to tone up,” “I want to look like this fitness model,” I want to lose weight,” or “I want to lose 10 pounds.” All of these goals are pretty elusive, besides that last one. That’s a good, measurable goal but also has its flaws. The one thing all of these goals boils down to is these

How to Get Through Long, Depressing Winters
Considering that I am writing this in May, It may seem a bit out of season. But my best advice is to bookmark this is write it down to prep for nest winter. I come from sunny Los Angeles and lived for many years in cold and rainy Berlin. I know that Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real thing. It often gets worse with every winter. First, let me say that there is NOTHING wrong with you. Winter is a hard time for everyone. It is the energy and nature of the season. It is repre

Have Some Damn FUN Already!
“What’s the point unless you are having a good time!?” This has been my unofficial motto for years. Why kill yourself in the gym, why work long hours, why wait in line unless you are going to enjoy this life. I truly believe it too. What is the point of doing what you are doing unless you are having a good time. You may or may not remember the very telling headline of our time Man Goes to Mexico to Kill Himself, Ends up Spending a Week Banging Hookers and Doing Cocaine, Decid

The Gym 101: P13: Recovery
Most of us long for a good looking physique and desperately scramble trying to get one. Too much scattered effort and not enough results are the fruits of lack of knowledge. There are many things that go into being well trained and it not just weightlifting and running. When you InstaHeros say its a lifestyle, they are right. You cant take the average american office worker and just tack on 45 minutes of gym time to 5 days of their week. While it will make some benefits, what

Rules of Empowerment: No Apologies, No Explanations, No Complaints
Like many, I do my best to kind, considerate and helpful. In a functioning society it is what you do when you want...well, belonging in your community and a handful of healthy relationships. But there seems to be something by which I just can’t help being annoyed, and the offenders are mostly women. It’s an annoying habit of saying “sorry,” asking permission to do something, making excuses for delays and explaining themselves. It seems like someone who is trying not to take u

Five Great Books on Growing Business
Anyone who knows me knows I am a reader. I devote two hours a day to reading about business and health, and I get in those fun books whenever I can. Why? Because when I got into business for myself, I realized how much my education DIDN'T teach me about business, health, fitness and surviving in the world; Secondly, a dedication to self improvement and evolving education is what will keep me ahead of the game in my industry and I find reading a relaxing and rewarding way to e

Making Nutrition Simple: 5 steps to Easy Eats
Everyone thinks that going to the gym is hard - but, it’s not. You show up, put some effort in and get out. Maybe even you lift with a buddy or play sports with a team. This is enjoyable – 30 minutes, one or two hours a day and it’s over. But if you want to lose weight or get abs, you might suffer a bit in the kitchen. Let’s talk about ways to make this part less difficult- NOT easy, but LESS difficult. Start cooking with nutrition and not taste in mind If you are still going

Thick Fit: It’s a Thing and it’s Sexy as Hell
You know all of those magazines that feature only skinny women? Well, there are a couple of reasons why those have been the prominent body type of high fashion and it has nothing to do with health or beauty. Even fitness gurus are lying to you about their bodies - you can't get a Fit Mag cover with 15 minutes a day of exercise. My main concern is for those of you who take these aesthetics as truths; who are ashamed of your thick, sexy thighs and soft hips. Who hate their nat

Rock On or Click Off: Is your music helping or distracting during your workout?
Numerous studies have been done on this subject; Does music help performance? Well, that is a more complex question than we think. There are two kinds of performance: perceived and actual. Perceived performance is how you think you performed or how easy it was to perform the task at hand. Actual performance is, you guessed it, how much work, speed, distance or volume was measurably achieved. While in many cases, test subjects increased their cadence in cycling when the tempo

How to Track Your Fitness
One of the best things about getting fit is not always losing weight. The thing that my clients are the most proud of is how they move. It is really a wonder to take new actions and discover all of your movements are easier, they have more flow; where you once struggled, you now move with a bit of grace. This is the feeling that really keeps you coming back to the gym - the feeling of accomplishment, the feeling of winning. This is why keeping track of you fitness is a best w

7 Reasons to Work Out: Looking at the Big Picture of Motivation
This topic really digs in deep. I could give you a bunch of band-aid answers like “make a great playlist, get a buddy or sign up for a race, or watch a video of powerlifters, dancers and crossfitters.” Those are sparks to light a match - but what is the match made of? All of those things may get you out the door and to the gym, but they are never THE REASON why you KEEP going to the gym, keep exposing yourself to pain on a regular basis. The truth is: you have to find your re
