My fitness heroes aren’t athletes and movie stars that get paid boatloads of money to look like superheroes.

Choose fitness for the things you want to do, the places you want to see, the things you wish you could do (and you can).

You wouldn't compete in a triathlon without training for it. Exercise during the final weeks of preganancy can help make childbirth easier (but not easy).

Most of us spend too much time sitting and it’s taking its toll on our bodies. Beyond the obvious drawbacks of inactivity (weight gain, muscular deterioration, brain fog), the act of sitting itself is the cause of a lot of musculoskeletal pain.

If you spend your days at a desk like Clark Kent, it's extra important that you move like Superman in the gym (even your home gym).

If you suffer back pain from time to time or want to prevent or at least reduce the severity of future bouts of it, try incorporating this 10-minute Back Pre-hab/ Rehab Circuit into your fitness routine.

No gym? NO PROBLEM! Here is a Push Up Circuit - The Chest Express!!

Thank goodness for modern technology. It has allowed me to continue working with in-person clients remotely. I have long held the belief that there is no substitute for in-person training. Now, I’m not so sure. The experience of working one-on-one in the same room with someone can’t entirely be replicated, but, over the last four months, I have found there are tremendous advantages to working remotely.

The Buck Up: A 6-week Fitness Kick in the A** 

“ Engage your core.”

This is a phrase that is used constantly in the fitness world but what does it actually mean?

I woke up one morning in excruciating pain. I couldn’t stand up straight. What caused my injury? Benching too much weight? Too many pull ups? Turns out, exercise was not the cause of my injury. But it was the fix.

Some folks hate exercise. They don’t think they need it. They say things like the following…

As a personal trainer or coach, the job is to advise and motivate others. Our words matter. We need to choose them carefully. We need to stop using the following phrases.

Whatever you’re addicted to (that thing you can’t stop doing that wastes your time and F-s your life up in lots of little ways and/ or a few big ways), whatever it may be: drugs, video games, your phone, food, relationships, whatever it is... substitute that shit with exercise.

When you get off the Stairmaster, you’re drenched in sweat, your face is red, and you are huffing and puffing like Darth Vader. Yet you are gaining weight? So what gives?
