I’m sorry, but they’ve lied to you. They’re wrong. You don’t need to feel like you’re going to puke a lung or fart...Read More

Recovering from your workouts isn’t magic. There’s no elixir that you need. You don’t need supplements or a massage gun. Mostly, you just need to be an adult. 🙂   I say that somewhat tongue in cheek. Life is busy and you have shit to do. I get that. But if you’re invested in your...Read More

“Curiosity killed the cat, you know.”   Some well-meaning parent, grandparent, family member, or friend said something like that to you at some point in your life. Maybe it was warranted.

In most circumstances, I guess you wouldn’t.   Why learn to cook? Unless you want to understand the joy of creating dishes that please the senses, share that joy with others, and observe how life is richer.   It’s dumb to form a lasting relationship with another person, unless you want to find a full...Read More

You’re looking in the mirror and thinking, “Man, I’d like to be leaner.”     The folks on the talk show that you just watched said that you should be doing HIIT for fat loss. Your friend that goes to Orange Theory said the same. They mentioned something science-y like “post-exercise oxygen consumption” and how...Read More

Have you ever planned some physical activity, but wondered if you could handle it? You doubt you can keep up with your friends on the 5k. You’re afraid you won’t make it back down after hiking to the top of the mountain. You think, can I do it?  Your body doesn’t have to be an...Read More

“You need to lose weight.” Jim Khoury, a member of Beyond Strength, heard those words on Valentine’s Day, 2018.
