    Prove Us Wrong!

    It’s kind of funny interviewing these top leaders in the health and fitness industry on my Podcast The Persistence Factor. They stole all our secrets lol. The exact same thing we tell our clients we work with they are also saying. I'm kidding. But it’s kinda cool that we are on the right track with our principles and philosophies based on their answers. One thing does stand out with the 14 people I have interviewed so far. They work their butts off every single one them. But

Lets get real here. There are no shortcuts to obtaining great physical conditioning and health. Optimal permanent physique transformation and abundant health is the result of a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to proper training and nutrition. Health and fitness does not have a expiration date. I

    2018...Be The Boss

    It is often a challenge to find a topic for our next blog, the more we actively think about it the more elusive the topic becomes. Working out always clears our minds; it allows the unencumbered flow of thoughts and ideas, that is when inspiration comes. The other day while working out at the gym, I was watching people come in to the gym from their day at work, suddenly it hit me.....if most people committed to the health of their own bodies like they do their actual job th

    All the religions have agreed on this one particular subject. The bible often refers to this subject often. Even today's success books are still talking about this one subject. WE BECOME WHAT WE THINK ABOUT! Lets look at this from an individual who wants to lose weight and never really achieves the success they are looking for: What are they thinking about most of the time? They tend to think about what they don't want. I don't want to fail. My cravings are out of control. W

We never claimed the system that we prescribe is the only way to get results. In fact we use many a

    No Drive, No Goal, Uninspired

    Do you ever feel like some days you are 100% committed to your goals. The fire is burning so red hot under your butt that nothing is going to stop you!

    5 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight

    5 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight 1. Stress We live in a face paced world where we demand more from ourselves with trying to make it all fit with less time.

    Start small for BIG Results

    Do you ever feel like you are trying to tackle the same goal over and over again? Unable to achieve it. Feeling perhaps a little discouraged? Believe it or not this is a VERY common feeling for most. It's not always that people don't have good intentions or lack effort but sometimes it's that we take on too much at once. We aren't realistic about where we are NOW and how much we have to give. Feeling like we need to have that” all or nothing” or perfectionism mentality. When

    More Than Words

    Have you read the book, What You Say When You Talk To Yourself, by Dr. Shad Helmstetter? It is an awesome read. He says in the book, "We become the programs that we get most" In other words, the things we say over and over again to ourselves, whether is out loud or not, gets stronger and stronger through repetition. We become what we give energy to. Most people, when they set a new goal and before they even begin, have a pre-recorded tape playing in their mind, counting thems
