Kettlebells & Marathon Training?
Yes, kettlebells and running. You see, they are the perfect addition to keep up with resistance training while not gaining muscle mass. The objective is to keep your upper body in shape and keep your strength up, while not adding extra muscle weight. It is counter productive to be building muscle while trying to [...]

In preparation for my half marathon in TWO weeks, I went for a trail run yesterday at Red Rock Canyon. My expectations were high, but I was realistic that my time would not be the best. First of all you're running on a trail which means dodging rocks. The ground is uneven gravel and dirt [...]

So you go in 4-5 times a week. Run 30 minutes and then do some abs for about 15 mins. Everything is good right? WRONG! Ok, I never meant to discount anyone's efforts at all, but it is a fact that doing the same thing over and over will limit your progress. If you do [...]

You are on a roll, you have been working out frequently and eating well and then it happens. You hit that day when something goes wrong, when the stress level is high and you feel like it all starts falling apart. Everyone, and I mean everyone has these days. The major difference between people? How [...]

So it's that time again, time to get ready for the pool, bikinis, hanging in the sun, but are you prepared?

11 February 2011
Since it is the end of the week, I thought I would relay a killer workout that will keep you moving and engaged. The key is to switch it up. I am a firm believer in interval & circuit training to avoid hitting the wall of boredom. It hurts! Give it a go and leave [...]

I have a client who I have been training for the past 5 months or so. She has had GREAT results, lost over 40 lbs, and has become so self confident and proud of herself. It is amazing! She came to me the other day and said "I hate working out. I hate exercising." After [...]

RULE #4: Track Your Food! I am not in any way promoting any certain diet or fad or suggesting that you cut out all those foods you love so dearly. All I am saying is that you need to keep track of what you are putting in your body, especially if you are trying to [...]

RULE #3: Set a Goal! As a trainer, I know how important it is to have goals to strive for. Going through life, or your workouts, without a goal in mind can be detrimental to your progression. Think of it this way, if you start a new task and don't know where the end is, [...]

Here is the plan…..being a trainer at a popular commercial gym allows me to see some good, bad, ugly, weird, unfathomable, and What?!?.
