September 01, 2022

TLDL – A couple pieces of minimal equipment can go a long way. My favorite is a barbell and plates but grabbing a couple of kettlebells or dumbbells paired with a pull-up bar is a great alternative. You certainly do not need a lot of equipment to get shredded. You don’t even need a bench. The sing...

August 30, 2022

TLDR – Every workout will train your core…. BUT… don't waste your time with side bends and sit-ups. It is better to train your “core” with heavy, ground-based exercises like squats and lunges.

August 29, 2022

Fitness Tip Review - Is a 30 Minute Workout Enough?

August 25, 2022

TLDL – 100% yes. You just need to know how to maximize your time by working out at high intensity. 30 minutes is ample time for a great workout. I am a huge proponent of 20-30 minute high intensity workouts 4-6x per week. Most of my workouts only last from 30-45 minutes. The key is to make sure ...

August 24, 2021

TLDL – Instead of a diet, try to 1) add more protein 2) eat a vegetable with every meal and 3) limit or remove sugar from your diet. You don’t need to do them all at once, start with step 1 and after a month of success try 2 and then 3. Agree – I have three tips that I give people trying to look fo...
