Uncovering the Truth about the Shape of Earth, ...

We as a human race are gullible.  Even with modern technology, satellite photos, history books, the internet, etc., there exists a contingent of human beings (click here) who are convinced that Earth is flat.  While I don’t possess the expertise to get into an astronomy debate with anyone with even a rudimentary education of the solar system, I can look at a globe and see it’s round.

Working Out at Home: Creating Tension

Recently, I have been getting a fair amount of questions about in-home workouts.  I have been reluctant to answer because my honest response is usually “join a gym”.  Depending on where you live, there is a gym in what seems like every square mile or so.  Gyms are good, even crappy ones are still pretty good because they have weights.  The science says weights make you sexy and strong.  My advice is usually go to where they keep weights and work-out there.

Why Moderation is Bull$&#t

99% of the time, I’m an easy-going kind of guy.  I try not to let much rattle me and have adopted a “never too high on my highs or too low on my lows” type of outlook.  Every so often however, something unhinges me a bit, and most often it’s fitness or nutrition related.

6 Fat-Loss Hacks You Can Add Daily

If you've found this website deep in the nether regions of the internet, it's either because you know me personally and I sent you the link or you stumbled upon an article I have written in the past and wanted to see what's up.  As you can tell, I'm not a website designer. This modest site took me almost 8 months to put together.  In my own defense, during those 8 months I have been trying to maintain a quickly growing client load at my gym and raising a 3-year-old and an infant.  While WordPress is certainly user friendly, it's not something I recommend trying to learn in between cleaning up a diaper blowout from your daughter and playing trains with your son.  To say it's been a humbling experience would be an understatement.

The "Why" and "How" of Counting Calories

The "Why" and "How" of Counting Calories

Somewhere along the way, how we consume food has become a polarizing topic.  We are surrounded by experts.  If person X lost 15lbs on a new fad diet, it must be the secret that is holding person Y back from strolling to the pool looking like Brad Pitt in Fight Club.  Also, according to person X, if person Y decides they like a different fad diet, not only will they fail, but something they read online said they will die from a flesh-eating virus due to lack of bacteria in the small intestine, or something like that.

Alcohol's Effects on Body Composition and 5 Ways to Minimize the Damage

Outside of the small window of prohibition, alcohol has been a legal, socially acceptable form of altering your state of consciousness that everyone over the legal age could enjoy.  Booze is everywhere, it’s been handed out at church for centuries, you can get it on a plane ride, even some grocery store chains are encouraging getting a drink during your weekly food shopping run.

If you're already killing time on social media, you may as well lose body fat and increase lean muscle mass while doing it.
