Share Same, Same Have you noticed how many people exercise consistently, yet always look the same? Me too. Which wouldn’t be a problem if their goal was to avoid any kind of physical transformation. Some people have been doing the same workout (or very similar), at the same intensity, for the same amount of time, on [...]

Share A Living Computer Did you know that your body is a living, breathing organic computer that can easily be reprogrammed to operate differently? More efficiently and effectively? To do different things and produce different results? To run new programs? For some of us, it’s time to reboot. Sugar Addiction I remember when I switched [...]
Share Over the last month (or so), I’ve received at least a dozen emails asking me for my thoughts on childhood obesity and how to address it. Well, the totality of my thoughts on this issue would fill a book (there’s a thought) but here’s a very brief snapshot. Insult or Physical Classification? Fat Kid: [...]
Share Personal Training One of the main reasons personal training exists (as a profession) is because, when it comes to the matters of exercise consistency and program adherence, many of us don’t seem to fare so well on our own.

If you need to drop a few pounds, then every time you’re about to eat something, ask yourself this one simple question: “Do I want this food [...]
Share Less Precious, More Practical Before anyone gets offended and writes me a nasty email regarding the title of this post, don’t bother. The above statement is not an opinion, insult or theory but rather, a statistically accurate reflection of what actually happens in the real world – the one away from the feel-good motivational [...]
Share Something for Nothing (Again) No post (as such) today. Just a quick note to let my Melbourne readers know that this coming Sunday (Aug. 21) at 8.30am I will be running another one-hour(ish) FREE open-to-the-public training session at my gym (Harper’s) – 643 Nepean Hwy, East Brighton. During the week, I had numerous emails and [...]
Share A Chat About Fat This morning I jumped into my car and switched on the radio. The presenter announced an upcoming interview with an obesity expert.
