Whatever industry you may be in, it is common to hear of the legends. Those people whose name continues to surface in conversations with other customers or competitors.

In the XPT Breathing Course, we went through a protocol that many people can benefit from. If your mind races as you lay down in bed and it becomes more difficult to go to sleep, this method may help. Inhale for 5 seconds through your nose, exhale for 7 seconds. I was taught that the 7 second exhale is critical. It can be more than 7 seconds but not as beneficial if it is less than 7 seconds. Do this 5-10 times. I like to extend this out to a 7 second inhale and a 14 second exhale. Ill do this f...

I got a question recently from a listener asking, "how do you start working out if you haven't worked out in a long time." My biggest concern is what is your reason for working out. That is the most important thing and is what will carry you through the process of getting fit. It is important to have a good "why" when you are getting back into the habit of fitness.

When I went to SealFit Kokoro, a 50 hour camp run by Navy Seals, one of the first things we learned was the technique of Box Breathing. Box Breathing is a technique that calls for breathing in for a specific time, holding for a time, breathing out for a time and then holding for a time. Repeat this 5-10 times. The idea of box breathing is that this protocol allows us to move from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system or from fight or flight to relaxation. It turns ...

In a recent podcast with David Redding (cofounder of F3 Fitness) we talked about an acronym that David came up with, CSAUP. These are workouts that are Completely Stupid And Utterly Pointless and is something that they put into the F3 workout routine.
