Who juiced today?  How was your training today, or yesterday; and how will it be tomorrow?  Just little reminders. What time did you get up today?  Four, five?  Did you give me the ten minutes that we talked about last time?  How about 10 minutes this time around; if you have stairs, 1) walk up and down them, 2) get down on the floor and give me five push-ups, (if you need to have your knees on the floor for your push-ups, that’s ok!).  Repeat this complete routine for ten minutes; that’s all!  Zero, zip, naata more! You’re done.  If you don’t have stairs, think about twenty stairs, and bring…

Was it E.C., (Eric Clapton)?  Allman Brothers Band?  Who penned “Stormy Monday”?  B.B. King?  Come on, now, STORMY MONDAY!  How about you, did you?  How is your Monday?  Did you look forward to it; was your weekend long enough; ready to go back to “work”?  Bottom line; I am.  I LOVE  Mondays!  I’ll give you an idea why; I work with people, all kinds, in a lot of different ways.  Starts with fitness; 6:30 (that’s am, folks!), I work with some pretty dedicated people.  Some might say, “Who would work out at 6:30 am, with a smile on their face, (I don’t know, maybe it’s a grimace!)?  My answer would…

Aren’t birthdays great?  I wrote a message Wednesday, (9/18) thanking everyone involved in such remarkable comments.  They all meant A LOT to me!  I’m thanking again, for some that might have missed that message. Didn’t we all, at some age, maybe mid-30s or so, start to think about those birthdays; how another year just flew by, and here is the next birthday!  I say, bring it on!  I love these days, birthdays and all.  I say look at the responses I got; close to 50 or so, and really, that’s the kindness of people, because I haven’t seen a lot of you guys in years!  Unbelievable. Having said that, I…

How do you feel today?  It’s 9/11/13.  Twelve years ago, lives changed.  Every life you can imagine, changed:  old, young, different culture, different race, different religious beliefs, opinions; every person that lives in the U.S.A. had their life changed on the 11 day of September, 2001.  Every person has a different recollection of that day, if they were old enough to know the circumstances.  I do. The one that I’ll share, is that before I ever saw the news, as I was driving, I told myself that our country will never be the same, and certainly it is not.   We all know that.  This day, every year, puts my…

COMMIT: to give in trust; to declare as having a certain opinion or position; to bind or obligate, by pledge (to commit oneself to a healthy lifestyle); to entrust (to commit one’s soul to God).  How great is this word?  I happen to think it is one of the greatest words that we use.  First things first; in my business, it IS the greatest word.  People contact me because they have “committed” themselves to try and make themselves healthier, much more functional, and to try and re-stabilize their belief in change, FOR THIS MOMENT.  This is, again, a great word. We all hear the words, “I have to change”.  All…

Numbers.  Great word(s).  So many things are rated by numbers; everything is a number.  Politics=numbers; sports=numbers; surveys=numbers…etc.  Sometimes, we get distressed over THE NUMBER.  How can we change that, so we can feel upbeat about a number.  What would you think about the “60”?  Good enough number for you?  I’ll tell you all, right now, that’s a TERRIFIC number for me.  Last week, I was visiting my parents, and the rest of my family, helping my folks celebrate their 60th Wedding Anniversary!  Can you believe that?  Maybe I’ll have to repeat that: 60th Wedding Anniversary!  What a great time, from everyone.  I think that they really appreciated a small party,…

Isn’t CAN a lovely word?  It really CAN mean the world, for a bunch of us; and it should. (definition)  CAN: v; to be able; to have the ability, power, or skill:  to know how to:  to have the power or means to:  to have the the RIGHT or qualifications to:  to have the possibility to:  to know:  much more, but I think that might be enough.  I love this word, and the message that goes with it.  You can; I can; everyone can.  There’s no rebuttal to this.  How about the 4 veterans, who all suffered injuries, one even lost his eyesight, in November, hiking through the South Pole,…

Ok, Ok, so for those that I haven’t had a conversation with about my head, and how I take care of it, it’s all about a company named HEADBLADE.  Back in 2000, I met a guy in Montreal; I was up there with one of my clients, Bobby Slayton,(comedian), at a huge comedy festival named “Just for Laughs” or the French term, “Juste pour rire”.  I was walking through a square, and I heard someone addressing me, “How do you shave your head?”.  It was Todd Greene, developer of a shaver, for the bald guys.  He told me about his new product, and since we both live in Los Angeles,…

Do you still have your favorite bottle of wine, (or rum, or whisky, whatever floats your boat) for that”special” day.  Maybe even an event to which you’re holding out for.  Theory wise, that sounds good.  We’ve all done that, to some extent.  So, does anyone have that “perfect” time, when their idea comes a- popppin’?  I hope so.  By my observation, though,  sometime that wine has turned to vinegar; and that’s too bad.  Is that what we do with our lives, also?  Is it because we don’t know how we feel about our real lives?  By saying that, I mean do we live each day, hoping something will “miraculously” change…

Where does this saying come from?  I believe from anywhere,and everywhere.  As I mentioned before, “think positive”, “the glass is half full”, etc…there really isn’t any bad days.  I don’t know who follows the pro teams in sports, and even though the media likes to spotlight the athletes who tarnish themselves, and their teams with negative behavior; most of them are human, and kind.  (What do I mean by all of this?); let’s take LeBron James.  I have an opinion on him, as all of you do; but here’s an incident that put him in the real world.  LeBron and Dwyane Wade went into a hospital, to a children’s cancer…
