I may not have all the answers, but I have plenty of opinions and ideas. I’ll do my best to provide insight, humor, and support here.

PENNIES FOR PUSH-UPS: RAISING MONEY FOR FEEDING AMERICA

Now that I’ve captured your attention with cute dogs rocking FitkidsTraining apparel, I want to discuss something serious. Everyone knows that the world has changed, probably forever, in the last two months. The sad reality, however, is that the impact of change is hitting some worse than others. Since mid-March, 1 in 5 American workers…

Healthy Eating Without Blowing Budgets: Fast Food-Free Frugality

This weekend, I came across a quote that read: “Talk about your blessings more than you talk about your burdens.” The quote served as a very humbling reminder that any complaints I had resulting from the Coronavirus quarantine were nothing more than proverbial “first world problems.” I cannot, in good conscience, complain about gym closures,…

Give This Upper Body Resistance Band Workout A Try

Okay, so I’ve lost track of how many days I’ve been in quarantine, but for some reason I know that it was 8pm on March 16th, 2020 that every gym in the tri-state area shut down indefinitely. This threw me for such a loop initially, because the gym is what I do…it is part of…

SOMETIMES YOU FAIL (IT’S OKAY TO LAUGH…)

We’ve all gone down the rabbit hole of watching gym fail compilations on YouTube. I think part of the draw to these videos is that they are so much more relatable for most people than the videos posted online from celebrity trainers, influencers, and bodybuilders. Also, assuming the person is okay, they are hilarious! gym-fail-slowmo…

AT HOME TABATA STYLE WORKOUT

Let’s face it…being stuck at home stinks. If there’s one thing that quarantine makes you appreciative of, it’s your old routines. I may never say “I wish I could just stay home in bed all day” or “Maybe I’ll just skip the gym today” ever again! If you’re like me, wondering what you should do…

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE SMOOTHIE RECIPES

One of the most despicable sideshows associated with fear of the Coronavirus has been supplement companies and social media “influencers,” trying to sell “immune boosters,” supplements, and services. There is no magic cure or shield from viruses! That being said, a combination of a healthy, well-balanced diet, exercise, and ample amounts of sleep have been…

MAKING THE MOST OF CONFINEMENT & STAYING POSITIVE

Like many of you, this is NOT how I saw the first day of Spring going. This is the earliest spring has come since 1896…and it did not disappoint! It was 70 degrees, trees were blossoming, birds chirping, and yet something was different. I was quickly reminded that we are in the midst of unprecedented,…

Healthy Meals To Go

One of the most common excuses for poor eating habits is “I don’t have time in the mornings for breakfast.” With that in mind, here is one solution. I am a huge believer in meal-prepping…if I’m being honest, my wife does most of it for both of us, but there are some recipes I’m capable…

At Home Workouts (No Equipment Needed)

These are certainly trying times. Every day there has been new information regarding the Coronavirus. Three weeks ago it was all speculation, then cases hit the US, but the guidance was to simply be careful, wash your hands, and stay home if you don’t feel well. Next, my school had an action plan set in…
