One of the things I stress with clients is that the low hanging fruit should be picked first. It's fairly standards in this field for clients and trainers to "go for broke" and set up really complicated programming to reach their goal. To keep running with the metaphor, that's like climbing to the top of … Continue reading Put In The Work

Added: A New Testimonial
Last weekend I had the opportunity to have a chat with local physical therapist Brad. We talked Body By Science, physical therapy, went on like total exercise nerds about unique equipment I have in my studio, and after all of that he got a workout out of the whole thing. He was kind enough to … Continue reading Added: A New Testimonial
Random Thoughts
Since I'm in the last semester for my grad program and currently living the life of having a newborn (read: lots of interrupted sleep) I thought I'd put a few things down that, while too small for a full blog post, might be nice for my readers to dig on. 1. Lessons from my Health … Continue reading Random Thoughts

If you take a look to the top right of the bar you'll see I've added a testimonials page. I've not heavily advertised my services because my survival doesn't depend on them: my primary job is training people here in Austin, Texas. However, I do offer services for those who are motivated to change and … Continue reading Added: Testimonials Page

Social Media and Its Unexpected Surprises
A total folly post; if you're looking for health/fitness/exercise physiology, go read my other stuff! My wife and I have discussed out social media allows us to constantly judge others without waiting around for the high school reunion. Some of this is merely confirmation bias: yes, that asshole from high school still dresses like he's … Continue reading Social Media and Its Unexpected Surprises
Exercise doesn’t burn fat by itself, from the “no f*cking duh” catagory.
Exercise doesn’t burn a lot of calories under the best of circumstances ( think 100 kcal/mile during a marathon ), hence why exercise is a bad idea if it is going to be your only means of trying to reduce fat mass. I'm nearly finished with my graduate degree in this stuff and I still … Continue reading Exercise doesn’t burn fat by itself, from the “no f*cking duh” catagory.
The 13 Year Transformation
After the "exposure" of how many of these fitness "transformations" are pulled off in an afternoon, I'm sure some people think that most of this fitness stuff is outright fraud. Most of it is, but sometimes a person of visibility illustrates just how much can be done if consistent persistence is applied over a long … Continue reading The 13 Year Transformation
The Supplement Goals Reference Guide
My friend Sol Orwell is a persistent mofo and I've previously written about just how hard a worker he is, even in a communication vacuum. His website, examine.com, is my go-to guide for peer reviewed data on supplements and their human effect. While some people like to get caught in hours of researched data … Continue reading The Supplement Goals Reference Guide
