On April 16th, 1984 I ran the Boston Marathon. The longest race I had run prior to that was the Nike New Jersey 10 Miler in March 1984. I met a woman at the race who had qualified for Boston and was running it on April 16th. We drove up […]

For most people, going to the dentist is something that we put off if we can, perhaps dread to some extent, get anxious beforehand and want it to be as quick and painless as possible. For many people, exercise is much the same and elicits the same reactions and […]
Shakeology contains 70 healthy ingredients with protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes. But what can you expect from Shakeology in terms of how you feel. Based on the results of a 90 day research study, this is what was observed in the health of the […]
In late 2006, the revolution began. Unlike the American Revolution and the original colonists creating the 13 colonies, the Million Dollar Body revolution, as it was known then, was begun by 42 “founding colonists” committed to a modern day American Revolution. The “new revolution” was not a war of religion […]
On March 25th, 2001 at this time, I was cooling down after the Land of Enchantment 15K with a woman who was on the same racing team as I was here in Albuquerque. Yes, she did beat me (she was 30 and I was 50) and no, I was […]
Burger lovers beware: People who eat red meat every day have a higher risk of dying over a 10-year period — mostly because of cardiovascular disease or cancer –than their peers who eat less red or processed meat, according to a new study of about half a million people. “This […]
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Want to know where the presidential produce comes from? Take a walk past the White House. The answer may be planted right in front of you. First lady Michelle Obama helped break ground on a new White House organic “kitchen garden” Friday. It will be the first […]

As one of the first Independent Team Beachbody coaches and now a full time coach with over 20 fellow coaches that I work with, I often get emails with the subject line, “I’m interested in becoming a coach”. Every answer is in response to a number of questions that […]
An open letter to my Team of Beachbody Coaches: The Founding Fathers of our nation had integrity. The founding coaches of Team Beachbody had integrity. They bought Beachbody products and they used them. They worked out in WOWY because of the peer support that they got, the peer support that […]
Coaches, it must have been about 3 years ago or so that Carl Daikeler and Beachbody came up with the idea of putting most, if not all, of their customers in the care of a handful of members who had faithfully used Beacbody products and been active on the message […]
I received a brilliant email yesterday from my top coach in Colorado, Mike Bent, and I absolutely have to share it with every one who thinks that Team Beachbody is a pyramid scheme: “My fiance and I were having a discussion the other day over a remark that one of […]
Throughout my life, I have been passionate. When I started running in high school, it became my passion because I simply loved running and soon realized that I excelled at it. I learned persistence as my life’s journey guided me to some significant challenges to face and […]
Here’s a great story by Ron Mizutani from KHON2 Morning News in Hawaii about a resident’s remarkable weight loss using Beachbody products. I hope that this will motivate you to lose weight the right way and not the easy way (pills, surgery, etc.) and be rewarded the way that Dallas […]
Yes, I mean every body tells a story. When someone sees you, does your face tell them that you are happy or sad, relaxed or stressed, healthy or unhealthy? Are your shoulders back, chest out and your back straight or is your back bent over and shoulders hunched because they […]
Or a train to somewhere? If you haven’t already seen WALL-E, it is a must see. It is a love story, a comedy and it is loaded with symbolism. If you have already seen the movie, then you know why I am asking whether you will be on a spaceship […]

I haven’t blogged for awhile because I am going through a divorce and in two weeks, I will be a full time 57 year old single dad with a 3 1/2 year old and a 1 1/2 year old with me all day on my life’s journey. That really isn’t […]
My life revolves around helping people get fit, lose weight, be healthier and happier and have better quality of life. But who really cares these days? The overweight, over-stressed friend who dropped dead at 54 of a heart attack in the rest room at work? No, he didn’t and now […]
Yesterday, we celebrated the birth of our country with everything from solemn to joyous to boisterous celebrations. Not lost to those of us who are devotees of Tony Horton and know what a great impact he has made in so many of our lives with his effective workout programs is […]

A recent study of adolescents with high blood pressure found that those teens who practiced transcendental meditation for 8 months improved the ability of their blood vessels to relax and dilate by 21 percent. That’s about the same improvement expected from taking antihypertensive drugs. Dr. Vernon A. Barnes is a […]
Did I tell you that I am blue in the face? Yes, I’m blue in the face from passionately and unashamedly promoting the benefits of health and fitness and maintaining an ideal weight to everyone that will listen. I do that by telling everyone that in order to be successful […]
On the message boards today, I saw someone write, “I’m getting just a little, no a lot, frustrated with the belly fat that just won’t go away” and I provided a short response. It is a good opportunity for my readers to get more information about the risks of belly […]
Obesity contributes to global warming, too. Obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as the population literally swells in size, a team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine says. This adds to food shortages […]
New research shows “alarming levels” of obesity in most ethnic groups in the United States, principal investigator Dr. Gregory L. Burke, of Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina told Reuters Health. The study also confirms the potentially deadly toll obesity exacts on the heart and blood vessels. “The obesity epidemic […]
I’ve been a long time reader of Runner’s World and always find their articles informative and valuable. The marathon isn’t for everyone, but if you do decided to train for one, these 10 tips from Amby Burfoot will help you do it right. “Three weeks before last spring’s London marathon, […]
A major health headline this week was a study dispelling the notion that you can be both fit and fat. Last fall, the wires were abuzz with citations about the dangers of being thin and fat (so-called “skinny fat”). With a national obesity rate of nearly 30 percent, we know […]
It’s no secret that the U.S. is one of the fattest nations in the world: 66.3 percent of Americans over 20 years old are overweight or obese (about 140 million); 32 percent are obese (67 million); and almost 5 percent (9 million) are morbidly obese. Among adolescents 12 to 19 […]
Whatever faith guides you can probably be found on the Beliefnet site. I get words of inspiration from them that guide me through each day. This content is from “Life Is Sweet” by Addie Johnson. Used by permission from Conari Press. “Life Is Sweet” – copyright 2008 – is available […]
I need inspiration and motivation just as much as anyone else. I am blessed to have it come to me in emails or promptings or in the littlest things and then I love to pass it on. I have gotten an email for years entitled, “Insight of the Day” and […]
I am an eternal optimist and that certainly helps when you are trying to motivate people. It is especially helpful when you are asking people to change their bodies and change their lives. I am blessed to get an inspirational email and a good article that I saw recently was, […]
I for one really don’t know any of the warning signs of a stroke. I only know that when I was under a lot of stress last year with a failing business, I thought that I might have a stroke. This article is from Reuters Health: “Fewer than […]
As a parent of an active 3 1/2 year old, I was heartened to see this article and know that she is starting out life on the right foot so to speak. This article appears in CNN Health and is from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. […]
Yikes! That to me is pretty shocking. I don’t go to the doctor and don’t take any prescription medicines. No, I don’t have a death wish and it may not be smart in some people’s minds, but I exercise, eat to nourish my body, take supplements and keep my stress […]
You may wonder what this has to do with health and fitness, but believe me, as the father of a 3 1/2 year old and 1 1/2 year old, the actions of your kids have a lot to do with your mental and physical health. I know that you […]
