Ever started your car on a cold morning, then immediately backed out the driveway, slam on the breaks, and floored it out onto the street?…No? I didn’t think so. So why do that to your body??

Crazy thing is, I see at the gym all the time. People walk in off the street, and immediately lift a heavy weight. Not properly prepping your body for your workout is a recipe for disaster. I realize most people live extremely busy lives, and that gym time is at a premium. As a trainer, I get it, sometimes you only have 30 minutes for a workout. So who wants to spend 10 of them warming up? My hope is, that by reading this, it will become apparent that a dynamic warmup is a MUST HAVE in your fitness program

Today’s post is all about my experiment with shrooms. Lets get this out of the way, I LOVE shrooms. But before you guys start questioning my sanity, we’re not talking about the psychedelic kind. No, I’m not talking about the kind that leads you on a spirit journey to the desert, talking quantum physics to a cactus…I’m talking about the kind that increases focus, improves nerve health, and improves memory. I’m talking about the ‘shrooms that increase performance.

Welcome to the inaugural edition of Exercise Rescue!….No, I won’t be screaming, getting in your face, and dropping F-bombs like some of those reality TV show goons. But hopefully, I’ll be dropping some knowledge. I consider this my personal Ignite PSA!!

Working in the fitness industry allows me the opportunity to see a variety of clients and learn about a variety of gym routines and exercises. What I tend to see, is that there are a number of common exercises that people often do incorrectly. This series is meant to educate and inform about some of these common gym errors.

The truth is, it’s not easy to stay motivated 24/7. We all have our “off days”, but there a ways to fight through them. I consider motivation a skill. Whether you refer to it as motivation, drive, or hunger, it’s something that must be nurtured. And just like any other skill, whether it be learning how to squat or learning how to play an instrument, it can improve. But you have to work at it. You have to want it. You have to TRAIN it….Here’s how.

Habit is what separates success and failure. I LOVE the above definition. “Especially one that is hard to give up” says it all… habits are hard to give up. Good or bad, habits become engrained within you, and define you as a person. The ability to establish good habits will determine how much success you have with fitness. Establishing good habits is not easy. It takes work, maintenance, a strong mindset and a little guidance….If only someone wrote a blog post about how to establish good fitness habits. Hmm….

Ever find yourself working on a really important project, and then it hits?…

Procrastination…Oh, that dreaded word. It’s a word I’m quite familiar with. In fact I like to call myself, the “King of Procrastination”. Its a lofty, but well earned title. Procrastination is REAL. One minute your getting your work done, next minute your caught in deep and dark snapchat vortex.

A wise man once said that change is inevitable…The same can be said for fitness. Over the years, the fitness industry has gone through many different fads and phases. Gone are the days of the miracle fitness contraption that promises profound results with little effort (Shake Weight anyone??). But one thing that hasn’t changed is the value of compound exercises.
