Is your health worth 60 seconds?
Posted by: | Comments
As one of the top fitness professionals in the world, I can tell you from experience that most people just do not give their health a second thought until it’s gone…or at death’s door!
It’s very sad, but very true.
Now I know you’ve heard this before. And I know that this message typically falls on deaf ears…but I’m hoping not this time.
Today I want you to do some soul searching.
First off, I hope this message finds you in good health. If it does, I want you to give me just 60 seconds of reflection. Sit back in your chair and give thanks for your well-being. Give serious consideration to what your life would be like without it. Imagine the effect on your family if you lost it.
Next, I want you to think about the old saying “you are what you eat.”
Truer words were never spoken, you know. So now give me another 60 seconds and think about what you’ve eaten over the last few days. Make a little list on a piece of paper or on your computer.
So if you are what you eat, what is YOUR body made of right now?
Have I struck a nerve yet?
You and I both know there’s nothing better than filling up on nature’s finest whole foods.
If you are what you eat doesn’t it make sense to build your body with nature’s finest?
By now I’m guessing I have your full attention.
Good.
Because I want you to know that while I would NEVER promise you a 
miracle pill, I am going to tell you that you can get the nutrients of 25 whole vegetables, greens and fruits in caplet form.
Prograde Nutrition’s VGF 25+ is the culmination of 25 vegetable, green and fruit concentrates. Yes, they take those 25 whole foods and pack them into a heck of a caplet.
They even have specific formulas for men and women.
It’s an incredibly convenient way to build your body with better materials, so to speak.
And remember, Prograde’s formula uses whole foods. It is NOT a synthetic vitamin created in some lab somewhere.
Now the really cool thing about Prograde Nutrition is they were created by fitness pros for fitness pros. They created a company just so I had nutritional products I could recommend to you. Products I know you will get great benefit from.
In fact, their products are so in demand they are now shipping to the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand! Plus, they will soon be able to ship to just about anywhere in the world.
Yes, ALL their products are that good and they are that much in demand.

My Favorite Chest Exercise…Negative Push Ups
Posted by: | CommentsIn all of my boot camps I ever ran I never let women do “Girl” push ups because I thought it was a waist of time. If you really want to get stronger you need to let your body handle your body weight.
Negative Push Ups allow you to handle your body weight on the way down. Done correctly this style Push Up will get you stronger in a hurry and develop your chest, shoulders and triceps much faster then “Girl” push ups.
Come Take a Free Boot Camp Class…in Columbus.
Posted by: | CommentsWell if you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks then you wouldn’t know that I will be in Columbus, OH for The Arnold Classic and Sports Festival.
Every year it is quite a show…and I’m only talking about the Expo! This year I have so many people to meet. I’ve been getting e-mails from tons of people that are going up and wanting to meet up…and I will try to shake as many hands and kiss as many babies as I can in one weekend.
One really exciting thing that I am doing is Celebrity Guest instructing a good friend of mine, Vic Magary’s Boot Camp on Saturday, March 7 at 10am. It’s a Free Boot Camp for everyone going to The Arnold Classic and anyone who lives in the Columbus area.
It’s being held at the Metro Martial Arts & Fitness: http://www.columbusohiokarate.com
If you’re at The Arnold or in Columbus on Saturday, March 7…you better be there to get your ass kicked! Don’t forget, it’s at 10 am…that’s right…in the morning.
See you there.
IYCA Summit and Arnold Classic… nearly back to back, and I’ll be there
Posted by: | CommentsMy travel schedule is going to be absolutely crazy for the next three months. My first stop is Louisville, KY for the IYCA International Summit. The IYCA, (International Youth Conditioning Association) headed up by my good friends, Brian Grasso, Pat Rigsby and Nick Berry will have an All-Star cast of speakers at the Historic Brown Hotel to mark this first Annual International Summit.
If you have even the slightest interest in coaching kids then you need to be at this Summit. Not only will some of the best conditioning and skills coaches going to be there to teach cutting edge training…you will also be able to see me…isn’t that worth the price of admission alone? O.K., seriously, if you aren’t going to make it this year, figure out how to make it next year…I’m not kidding!
…and then two weeks later I’ll be in Columbus, OH to be part of the largest fitness and sports festival in the United States…the Arnold Classic. Last year I had the honor to be a presenter at the Women’s Figure and Fitness Show and it was a blast. I’m not sure what role I’ll play this year if any but I know it will be a blast. If you’re going, comment on this blog or send me an e-mail and hopefully we can meet up.
…and now for the video portion of my blog…
