They say that it takes a decade to master a topic and another 5 years after that to make it your own. Although I feel like I have a good sense of competency, I am far from mastering all that is out there in the training universe. Socrates once said, “the more you learn, the…

Back last winter, I made a six-pack ab bet with Will, aka Gingeroni, which to my utter dismay, I lost. Well, a new bet has been made between Beast from the East and the male version of Annie. What is that bet? Another 50 big George Washingtons were laid on the line. This time the bet…

After doing handstands four days a week for a year, intermittent fasting and eating like a rabbit for months, I was really looking forward to my beach vacation. Once in Rehoboth, I gave myself a hall pass to eat and drink everything under the sun; I am happy and sad to tell you I feel…

Lately, Christopher has been tireless like the Energizer Bunny. He crawls, stands, does squats, climbs, and sings all day with his operatic mother. He has even started to walk with hints of running here and there. I could confidently tell you that, like most young-uns, his work capacity is bar none. Work Capacity Work in…

So what do I propose? Well, as Geoffrey Chaucer once said “patience is a virtue”; you will just have to read the next post for the answer. A few months ago, I took an online course called Body Matter through McGill University in Canada. One of the topics that piqued my interest was a presentation…

I can’t believe it has been 17 weeks and only one more day to go till JUDGEMENT DAY. I have to admit I have been mired in a bit of misery like George Constanza on Seinfeld this past week because I have been eating like a rabbit on a diet. All I can see is…
