This is my friend and mentor Craig Ballantyne. I meet with him and several other amazing fitness pros a few times a year. I work directly with CB (Craig) with my Challenge Workouts program. I’ve learned a ton from him and I’m happy to be able to share my good fortune with you. He’s given […]
I was recently in Las Vegas for a conference. I go from time to time and meet with the best of the best in fitness. We have a ton of fun, even if it involves being semi-irreverent. We’ve been known to be asked to leave hotel gyms for video taping or for skipping on the […]
Vegas baby… I spent last weekend with a bunch of fitness pro’s at what we call a ‘Mastermind’. We basically lock ourselves in a conference room from 9-5 and figure out ways we can help you best. But it’s not ALL work… You’re probably waiting for some pictures of me dancing on a table top […]
Who wants a nice flat tummy without that muffin top bulge? We all do. While I don’t have a ‘magic formula’, I do have some exercises that will help. Keep in mind that you can do these things until the cows come home… Do the cows ever really come home? They’ve never come to my […]
I took my kids to Huntington Beach for a last hurrah getaway before my son goes to high school and my daughter heads off to work in an orphanage in Uganda in September. (I have to say that my kids are pretty cool.) The first thing we did once we checked into our hotel was […]

I’m pretty much settled into my new digs. I’m big on home workouts and wanted a quickie. My home gym isn’t set up yet, but I knew that I could figure out something. I had an early flight to catch and didn’t want to be sitting for hours and then miss out on training for […]
Want a flat tummy? Want to lose your muffin top? Well, first off, you can’t ‘spot reduce’, but you can tighten and tone the muscle below that layer of fat, if you clean up your diet before you know it: Viola! Your abs will show. I want to dispel some of the ‘old school’ ab […]
My good friend, Sylvia is an expert in Pilates. We hang out quite a bit and even though we’re a country apart, we try to see each other every month or so. When we do, we usually hit the gym together. I’m a gym rat so we’ll follow along with my routine most days then […]
Women, I have a bone to pick with you. Whenever I walk into a commercial gym, the number of women pounding away on a treadmill or worse, sitting on some machine hoping the fat will ‘vibrate’ away, overwhelms me. Some women are on the right track by picking weights, but even then, I see few […]
