When people struggle with losing body fat they often believe that an extra workout and a few less calories will solve the problem. However, additional sleep just might be what’s needed to achieve their goals.

Outcomes are not always within our control. When setting your health and fitness goals, consider behavior based goals rather than those centered around outcomes.

Looking for a fantastic, yet humbling conditioning workout. Give Air Bike Sprints a try!

The Air Bike is a medieval torture device manufactured by sadists and used by masochists😅. If running sprints or high-impact conditioning should be avoided, the bike serves as an excellent alternative. It's easy to use and appropriate for virtually any population. Here's a round of the 15 calorie sprint workout on the Airdyne Pro from @schwinnindoorcycling The key is to SPRINT for 15 calories - this took about 15 seconds. My goal is to hit that time every round. Therefore, I need the full recovery which takes me to the two minute mark. By round 4 or 5 you'll appreciate the rest. If you listen closely, you'll hear I'm out breath as I try to talk through the video!

The Pareto Principle, applied to health and fitness

20% of the exercises should make up 80% of your workouts

20% of your food choices should make up 80% of your diet

20% of the fitness info you read will be 80% of the knowledge you need.

I can’t do it for you, but I will do everything I can to help you do it for yourself!

If my job is to help you, I won’t do it for you.

If my job is to help you, I won’t give you the easy path free from painful mistakes and lessons.

I will put you into struggle and support you.

I will put weight on your shoulders and teach you how to carry it.
