Between the demands of work, family, and the rest, it is easy to lose sight of your health. For many of us, finding the time, money and motivation to hit the gym can be a constant struggle. That's why I am so impressed with my client's incredible fitness transformation, who managed to lose 80 pounds in just three months while juggling two jobs!

You need to constantly travel for work. You also like to lose weight and get those six-pack abs. So what happens when you're away from home? You may not be able to find a gym.

No matter how much fun you have on the trip, you feel a twinge of guilt when you get home. For 10 years, my client, Marc-Andre Heroux has been consistent in body intensit...

Muscle growth takes time, persistence, and a long-term commitment to the process. With the right training programs and the right foods, most people can build a lot of muscle, even if they don't think they can do it at first. My client, Josh Dollar, has increased hi...

It’s never too late to get in shape and reap the health benefits of physical fitness.

So, while getting fit after 40 is about easing into specific exercises tailored for success, it’s also about understanding your underlying motivation for doing so. The success factor is ...

Why optimizing your testosterone levels is essential for helping your body function properly, and how it affects far more than your muscles or your physical strength? When you think of testosterone, you likely think of sexual function, libido, and muscle mass — things that define men in many ways. What you may not realize is that testosterone also plays a role in your mental health, which can be made abundantly clear when your levels are low. After age 30, testosterone levels in men can decline ...

We believe these few are the ones who left nothing to chance, made no excuses, and just pushed through! It’s hard to fathom the idea of making your own luck when you’ve yet to experience it for yourself. But your own experiences aren’t th...

Despite these desires, very few actually achieve their goals, because most people look to their circumstances instead of themselves. Most people attribute deteriorating health to work and family obligations, overwhelming amounts of stress,...
