Exercise Burnout: When the Fire Burns You Out

Burnout doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in when the scales tip too far, too much work, too much responsibility, too much training, too little time. At first, you might think you’re just tired, just stressed, just overbooked. But before long, the spark that once fueled you has turned into smoke, and that smoke […]

Birds Fly, Fish Swim, Man Runs: The Power of Movement

Movement is built into the fabric of life. Birds don’t debate whether to fly. Fish don’t negotiate with the water before they swim.

Been glued to your desk for hours? Your glutes aren’t thrilled about it. In fact, they’ve probably clocked out—overstretched, underused, and wondering if you’ve forgotten they exist. When the glutes go offline, your pelvis tilts, your spine complains, and before you know it, you’re walking around like you’re twice your age.

Just don’t wait until you need a search party to find it.

Fitness Is for Everyone—Let’s Make It Normal

As a 46-year-old father, my advice to parents is this: teach your kids that strength, fitness, and vitality matter—but don’t frame it as some elite or heroic pursuit. Fitness should be as normal as brushing your teeth, not some sacred ritual that makes them superior to others.

New Year, New Goals: 7 Practical Tips to Reignite Your Fitness Journey.

Every fitness journey starts with a single step—or a single squat, if that’s your thing. Don’t let the post-holiday slump win. You’ve conquered challenges before, and this is just another opportunity to show yourself what you’re made of.
