KEEP CALM and LOSE WEIGHT

January 31, 2025 “Keep Calm and Lose Weight” Do you have body rage? Well let me ask a few more questions first. Have you ever experienced road rage? You know yelling, screaming, honking your horn…I can only imagine if you live in Atlanta like I do, that you have experienced this once or twice. However, for some it is an everyday experience. Do you have a quick temper? Do you scream at your kids when you come home after a long day and the trash is spilling over, empty bags of chips and plates are left all over the house and every dish is in the sink? How about the boss that piles extra files on your desk at 3pm on a Friday and says they need to be ....

SUMMER BODIES ARE MADE IN THE WINTER

January 24, 2025 “Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter! ” What did this snow break make you think about yourself? Did you work out? Did you eat healthier? Were you more committed or did it give you an excuse to relax to be lazy? What you do during your downtime reflects what you do in your up time. Remember summer bodies are made in the winter. So, if you have summertime goals, now is not the time to slack off. I ask these questions because basically the midpoint numbers for the first bootcamp of the year are poor. Not sure if these snow breaks are the issue or if people still have that holiday mind set. As many of you can attest ....

“Are you a Cow or a Buffalo?"

January 17, 2025 “Are you a Cow or a Buffalo?” I have been listening to some inspirational audibles on my drive to the gym. I recently heard the story of the cow vs. the buffalo. This story made me think about how I’ve witnessed either a cow mentality or a buffalo mentality, in every aspect of fitness whether in fitness classes, bootcamps or personal training sessions. Which one will you identify with? When a cow and buffalo are in the same region, they can both sense storms approaching, however their responses to the storms are different. A cow will try to run to get away from the storm. Now, the only problem is that if you ....

“Don’t be a Quitter”

January 10, 2025 “Don’t be a Quitter” Quitters Day typically refers to the second Friday of January, which is often seen as the day when most people abandon their New Year's resolutions, particularly those related to fitness. This phenomenon can be attributed to various factors, such as unrealistic goals, lack of motivation, or overwhelming schedules. I know a lot of people who dread going to work, the thought of going makes them sick, yet they show up for their 40-hour shifts each week, often with a smile and a cup of coffee to get through the day. Just like we often stick it out in jobs we might not enjoy entirely, we should also apply that commitment to our ....

"Approach and Attitude"

December 21, 2025 "Approach and Attitude" Many of you are aware that I had a slip and fall off the stairs of a slippery shuttle bus in early November. It was so bad that it has kept me from doing what I love doing the most, which is exercising. My MRI showed that I have a bulging disc L3-5/S1 and a tear at L5/S1 of my spine. I feel the worst is almost over and I am excited about my recovery journey. I started physical therapy (PT) last week and let me tell you bouncing back and healing properly is all about your approach and attitude, much like your fitness journey. When considering physical therapy, it's important to approach it with an open mind and positive ....

"Are you being a GRINCH"

December 13, 2024 “Are you being a GRINCH?” “I haven’t been feeling myself lately and I don’t know why. I can’t seem to get motivated; mornings are the hardest, it takes everything to get out of bed. I cry for no reason; I lack energy no matter what I try. I feel stressed out, but I don’t have any reason to be stressed. I mean it’s the holiday season and I feel so blah, I just can’t seem to get out of this funk, some of my friends and co-workers are calling me the Grinch. I find myself being irritated easily and snapping at people, especially my kids, for no reason. What is wrong with me am I going crazy?” Lately, ....

"Are you on the naughty list with your dirty little secrets?"

December 8, 2024 “Are you on the naughty list with your dirty little secrets?” Tell the truth, expose the lie, break free so you can learn, grow and heal. Let me share a few quick stories of some secrets that were exposed. I will start with a conversation I had on Friday. A client completed his first bootcamp last month. He was very excited about his results and is now doing the mini holiday bootcamp. I asked reviewed his most recent lab work because in October his A1c was 11.8%, yes, he’s diabetic, which is one of the reasons he came to me. On Friday his results were 14.3%. Shocking, I know! How did it go up? During the last ....

DON'T STUNT YOUR GROWTH

November 24, 2024 “Don’t Stunt your growth” I had a new client in this bootcamp and week one she timed in on green team. She has been working out in that area and on that team, however by the second week of bootcamp she excelled immensely. I mean when I demonstrate the advanced version of the exercises, she always tries them first and the majority of the time she does very well. By the third week I told her that although she is officially on the green team, I want her to move to the middle of the room and workout with the yellow team. I also asked her to workout with the yellow team on the outdoor sessions. Her eyes got really big, ME, yes you! She said but ....

November 15, 2024 “Have you Checked out for the YEAR?” It’s the 4 th Quarter and time to rally, to kick things into high gear.

A good team will execute a game winning drive and push through with no excuses and finish strong. However, when it comes to our health and fitness, we check out during this time of the year with a myriad of excuses. · It’s getting cold outside · It’s getting darker earlier · Cuffing season · Holiday gatherings/parties · Holiday distractions ....

“Are you ready for some WEIGHT LOSS?”

November 7, 2024 “Are you ready for some WEIGHT LOSS?” Football positions can be metaphorically related to different aspects of a weight loss journey, emphasizing the diverse strategies and approaches one might take for the player’s position. Here’s how some positions might correspond to weight loss concepts/strategies: 1. Quarterback - Just as a quarterback sees the big picture, orchestrates the play on the field, and makes quick decisions. A person focused on weight loss needs to see the big picture (what is the main goal) and then plan and strategize their meals and workouts to accomplish the win. ....
