Fitness and Social Media Fused.
Wow! My friends are awesome. They’re all models, every one is enjoying a super great relationship, they work out everyday, they feel accomplished in their work, and they all donate to charity every… single… day. I sure have chosen a great 4,000+ Facebook friends. I know all of these things because it’s all I see [...]
The Babe had 714 home runs in his 22 year career. He also struck out 1330 times. Compare that to Roger Hornsby who hit only 301 home runs but also struck out a meager 679 times. They both had about the same amount of at bats (Ruth at 8,399 and Hornsby at 8,173). You could argue that [...]
Lance Armstrong has given up his fight against numerous doping allegations. Armstrong conceded – never admitting that he did it – and never admitting that he didn’t. 14 years of athletic achievements have been taken away including 7 Tour de France titles, all winnings since 1998 have been taken back, and he is not allowed [...]
Two days ago I sat atop of the Koko Crater in Hawaii. Taken in by the beauty I took out my notebook and spent 2hrs reflecting. After posting some pictures I had numerous requests to publish my thoughts. These are personal and completely unplanned. I hope they mean as much to you as they do [...]

I’m pissed off. On my walk home from the coffee shop where I write I just: Had smoke blown in my face 3 times. Overheard a women with a 16oz smoothie in her hand complain she can’t lose weight. Saw a “going out of business” sign on a local fresh produce store go up. Watched [...]
This summer I would be finishing my PhD. Instead I decided to forego extra schooling. This is my reflection whether it was the right decision for me or not.
Many of you know that I have been working on a second book. That book has now finished it’s final edit and will be released within the next 3-4 months. The topic may surprise you. I’m veering away from fitness. In my next book I explain the theory behind why people share material via social [...]
I’ve been called a hater of motivational quotes. This isn’t true. In fact I gain inspiration from them. In the insanely popular article entitled “Why You’re Failing to Make a Difference” I get deeper into the reason people spread these messages. Unfortunately spreading quotes is big business. I want to make sure I only spread [...]
I never considered myself human. Maybe it’s a positive quality — I’m not sure. What I do know is that I’ve been pretty damn blessed when it comes to my physical well-being.
