Day 60…whoa, that was pretty fast, at least it felt that way. This also marks the end of phase 2 for me. A grueling 6-week strength phase that brought on a ton of new moves from Tony Horton and his P90X2 program. The strength phase of P90X2 brought us some totally new routines; Chest + […]
Hey Team! Day 60 is here for me and I’ll be posting my photos later today or over the weekend. The first 60 days have really gone fast and now that I have only have 30 days left to P90X, I really need to buckle down and make sure I finish strong. Like me, many […]
Shakeology, at least in my opinion, was a real nutrition game changer! I have never had much weight to lose. I was a pretty much a skinny kid growing up and a relatively skinny guy after college. However, I was never that great about making sure I was getting everything my body needed from a […]
In most of my posts regarding nutrition, I like to provide a healthy snack or meal recipe that not only is delicious, but also helps to get you closer to that hard-body appearance that everyone is looking for. In this article, I’d like to give you healthy food ideas in a different way. This time, […]
WHY Why are you working out? Why are you reading this? Why are you pushing play? Why are you studying P90X, P90X2, Insanity, Pump, etc…, and watching YouTube videos to decide if you even WANT to push play? You can do all the research and planning you want, but if you haven’t asked yourself the […]
Are you a between-meal eater? Many of us are but are eating the wrong things… The fact is that should be eating between meals. If you only eating 3 meals a day; you aren’t keeping your metabolism going at its optimal rate. However, that doesn’t mean you have to visit the vending machine all day. There are […]
Do you consistently starve yourself until you get to the restaurant, and then order everything on the menu to fill the hunger gap? I, personally, don’t go out to eat that often. It is usually only when there is a special occasion to celebrate or if we are out and about running some errands and it is […]
Hey Team! Well, another week in the books! Is everyone still rocking it? The challenge groups are really fun to watch — people are fired up, bringing it at levels I never could have imagined, and the results keep pouring in of people who have totally transformed their health and fitness. It’s really awesome to […]
Tropical Shakeology was made available on 2/13/2012, about 12 hours before it was originally supposed to be! I got my shipment of this awesome product on 2/21/2012 and was pretty excited to give it a try, but decided to wait until the next morning, which is normally when I have my Shakeology. I was kind […]

Phase 1 of P90X2 ended for me on 2/5/2012 and phase 1 is all about strengthening your core and your foundation. I loved all of the workout routines that were offered in the first phase. A lot of totally new moves not seen before. Many of which you are off balance, on a stability ball […]
Hey Team! Less than 100 days left until the start of the Memorial Day weekend! I’m already in my second week of phase 2 of P90X2 and posted my 30 day photos. While I didn’t have the stellar progress that I expected during that first 30 days. Many of you and my friends indicated that […]
After my first round of P90X, I began to focus on building up my chest muscle a bit more. Since I didn’t have a bench press or dumbbells that were heavy enough to do the job, I revert to the good ole fashioned Push-Up. It’s been around forever and is still considered an excellent exercise […]

Hey Team! Another week closer to spring and summer….is everyone going to be in the best shape of your lives? I know for a fact I will! I’ve been dialed in on my nutrition, tracking all my numbers every day to be sure I don’t go over on calories, and rocking the P90X2 workouts with […]
I’ve got a new gadget! Whats even better is it’s a fitness gadget! It’s called Fitbit. What is Fitbit? Think of a pedometer, except with the ability to track more than just the number of steps you take. This little device can track activity, measure how well you sleep, count the number of stairs you […]
Whenever I start talking about health and fitness with people, most of them come to the question: “what supplements are you taking or were you taking to get the results you got”. No kidding, this comes up literally every time. So I thought I would give everyone the inside scoop on what supplements I am […]
Hey team! Our “Challenge Group” is really hitting it hard and I really appreciate all of your hard effort and commitment to this point. Not that I expect any of you to quit on me now, but your success will be determined on what you do from this point forward, so give everything you have […]
A lot of people ask me about my nutrition and what has worked well for me. I tend to eat the same foods each and every day, with the exception of dinners. Below you’ll find a sample of what my typical 1900 calorie diet consists of. ( 1981 cals = 183 protein / 154 carbs […]
I tend to get a lot of questions about what my daily schedule looks like. As a father to 4 (2 in elementary and 5-month old twin girls), working in IT, my days generally fly by, which is usually a good thing! Here a brief/high level look into what my typical work weekday looks like. […]
