One of the most popular excuses people have for not sticking to a plan consistently and achieving their goals is lack of time. There are two solutions to help overcome time as an excuse. The first step is prioritization. If time is the primary obstacle then most likely you are prioritizing other areas of life […]
Most of us have seen the evolution chart picturing a simplistic view of our evolution from primates to Homo sapiens. Although this explains adaption over millions of years there is another type of adaption that occurs over one’s lifetime. Based on lifestyle and culture the majority of people morph their bodies into a dysfunctional shape. […]
An analogy for optimal movement during compound movements can be a jack in the box. You wind and wind building tension until…… Pop goes the weasel. During the eccentric portion (lowering) of an exercise you should be engaging muscles such that you are continuously building tension to maintain control and preparing for the concentric (up) […]
It is no secret that today’s culture we live very comfortably. Technology has made life increasingly more convenient. We tend to also over-stimulate the reward centers of our brain which distort decision making. An example of this which I have encountered multiple times is people stating that they “can’t” drink plain water because they do […]

The reasons why we buy hybrid vehicles are the same reasons why we don’t want our body to behave like one. For the majority of the population, losing fat and getting leaner is a primary goal. To do this, your body must be a machine that likes to burn a lot of energy to fuel […]
I often see individuals looking at someone else training in the gym and say “WOW! I could never do that.” While it can be a positive to look at others for motivation and inspiration, people often skip over the most important aspect of training… the process. Achieving success in the gym takes consistent hard work […]
Too many times individuals look at exercise and nutrition choices as “good” or “bad,” instead of understanding the varying degrees of how to achieve a goal efficiently. If you were going to go cross country, chances are you would decide to fly or drive instead of walking or riding a bike. Walking and taking a […]
Over time we have come up with more and more technological advancements, most of which with the purpose of making life easier. We usually focus on the pros of this and why not, everything is easier.

"I first met Anthony while he was doing his internship at Physical Therapy for my back injury. He took me under his wing and worked hard for two months to strengthen my back.
