In 20 years (more like in thousands of years), there has not been any biological adaptations that make losing weight easier or harder. The humans thousands of years ago, are the same biological, physiological, and psychological creatures that we are today...which is great news!

#1 Coaching Secret to Help Your Clients Lose Weight is Consistency

Consistency isn't a secret, but it tends to be really really hard for humans to do, especially in our distracted modern world. An okay plan with consistency will beat the best plan with inconsistency every time. Consistency not only communicates well for our biology to adapt, it is also THE way for us to make proper...

1. Focus on strength
2. Decrease rest periods

4. Walk away the pounds
5. Take a breath
6. Sleep in

We just launched our new Fat loss program keeping these in mind and watch your body transform.

Ask nine out of ten random people on the street what their main goal is and you’ll get some variation of “I’d like to lose my spare tire.” Type “fat loss” into your interwebs machine and get ready for a smorgasbord of articles, tips, facts, and PLENTY of contradictory information. Eat this! Don’t eat that! Move like this! Don’t even think about moving like that! 

The other reality is that even when most people hit their goals they tend to gain that weight back at some point, causing them to repeat the cycle over and over (and over) again. It’s no wonder the fat loss portion of the fitness industry has grown exponentially over the last couple decades. 

After years of being on the searching end of info and going through...

True or false? The only way you can get a good workout is when you’re severely out of breath with your heart pounding like a war drum with your legs are as shaky as a new-born giraffe all while being able to see through time. 

Unfortunately, there are far too many people (trainers and trainees) that think this is true. They think that more is better and that the stimulus is the goal of the workout.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good sweat-inducing, heart-pounding session that pushes me to my limit, but that should be the exception not the rule. The endorphin rush of high intensity training has been well-documented which may explain why so many people chase that high with faster, more intense workouts.

The problem is that we only have so many hard workouts in us.” Use it or lose it” applies to our strength, range of motion, and work capacity, but there’s a limit to it. If our only focus is doing more all the...

A strong back will take you far in life. While most people are out there focusing on their “mirror muscles” you’re doing your rows and building a healthy, resilient, muscular back. The row is a compound movement that hits your back, shoulders, arms and core. When programming rows it’s important to maintain a 2:1 (or even 3:1) ratio of pulling to pressing. This will help alleviate imbalances and specifically shoulder issues. A stronger front side because of years of pushing horizontally and vertically can lead to rounded shoulders and less than optimal posture which will eventually lead to pain. A strong back from top to bottom will help alleviate postural issues and create a solid foundation for heavier lifting. 

When it comes to pulling there are many implements you can use. Kettlebells offer an ergonomic advantage with their higher position than a dumbbell. The center of mass with a single base (as opposed to two sides of a dumbbell) makes it slightly...

I had the great honor of interviewing John Brookfield, a long time friend of mine, but moreover a man with exceptional physical, mental, and spiritual prowess!

I underestimated him the first time I met him, and was immediately humbled, by quite possibly the most humble man to ever achieve so many world records and physical feats.

Scouring through fitness articles, social media posts and fitness click bait, I keep seeing titles on “Training over 40”. What is so special about 40? Why is training over 40 different? What if I were to tell you that if everyone, at all training ages, trained like they were over 40 they would be healthier, happier people when they actually reached 40? Let's take at look!

If you are in the age range of over 40 and you’re athletic (or at least been working out regularly) you probably started when you were in your late teens or early 20’s. At that time, everyone knew exercise was important for a healthy lifestyle and developing a more aesthetically pleasing exterior, but the information provided was fairly sparse. The internet was either non existent or very new and you got your info from magazines or from gym rats who were next up the chain of the aesthetically...

Mindset to Overcoming Life’s Challenges

By: Q. Pullen aka QtheCoach 

The tag word “Mindset” is the hashtag of the day.

To understand Mindset, I’ve broken down the compound word into its two segments.

The 'mind' is defined as the set of thinking faculties. When we examine those factors, the summation is our consciousness, perception, judgement, and emotion.

'Set,' however, has 25 references for its definition but for our purposes we will use “To establish as the highest level of performance”.

Mindset is establishing the highest level of performance in your consciousness, perception, judgement, and emotion.

So how do we apply this to our daily lives to overcome life’s challenges?

Looking at the four factors of the mind lets discuss how to implement, SET those factors to their highest level of performance.

Consciousness is the awareness of one's...

Take a moment and think about your breathing. As you inhale, be aware of all the things you are grateful for and what you cherish, now I want you to exhale, exhale out doubt, fear and hate as all of these things cloud your mind from working optimally daily.
