• Downtime and why YOU need it!

  One thing I do effectively is still have my routines for self care, personal development and leisure time. Yes the gym is “my baby” and it’s a significant piece of my life but I have my routines nailed. How about you? As summer wraps up, you can probably feel stress levels rising. That means your self care needs to be on point so you can perform at your best. The Harvest Business Review published an article on down time and here’s what it said: One study , for example, found that employees who unplugged and took time off reduced serious health issues like coronary heart disease. Victor Lipman has written in Forbes ....

• How to Bring Your “A” Game

  Almost four years ago, I released my first-ever book, “ Play Like A Champion Every Day: Your Guide to Being Your Best You .” It was a special project and something I am super proud of and couldn’t have been done without the help of everyone around me, including you. Today, I want you to read Chapter 3 in the book, “Bring Your ‘A’ Game.” It’s a quick but powerful read and I believe it will really resonate with you. BRING YOUR “A” GAME “Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.” —Wayne Dyer It’s February 5, 2017. The site is ....

• The Power of Compounding

  As we approach the middle of August and summer winds down, that means getting back into a regular routine. Maybe that means attacking your New Year’s Resolutions that you’ve put on hold or maybe it just means getting back on track. To set goals, you must have a process. I love setting big goals because if you aren’t challenging yourself and thinking big picture, you are limiting your potential. To reach your big-time goals though, you must be able to break things down on a smaller level. That means the monthly, weekly and daily levels. In Darren Hardy’s, “The Compound Effect,” (one of my favorite books!) the basic premise to ....

• Why consistency equals success

  We are into quarter three of 2023. How are you doing? First, I want you to reflect on some wins this year, some losses (areas for improvement) and goals for the remaining portion of the year. Next, identify where you have been consistent. Sometimes that can be hard because consistency is what equals success. Check out these examples: If you consistently lift weights and challenge yourself, you will become stronger and build muscle. If you consistently eat more calories than you need, you will gain weight. If you consistently read, you will not only read more books but also enrich your mind. If you consistently save money, you will grow your ....

• Getting Active this Summer!

  It’s summertime! Hard to believe but summer is here and time to make the most of it. Today, I want to give you some advice about summer exercising. If we could make it happen, I’d love to have everyone work out with us 4-5 times per week. I know that’s not realistic though. You want to be outside more and you are traveling a bit more. That leaves less time for inside the gym. So, here are five great workout ideas for the summer: 1. Hike - Did you know that Maine has an endless amount of trails? You could pick a new place to hike every single day for all of the summer. Get outside, enjoy nature, and explore Maine. Here are some ....

• Consistency WINS 100% of the time

  Happy June! I hope your month is off to a great start! Today, I want to talk about consistency. Far too often, we try to do too much and when we are trying to do too many things, it’s like we are drinking water out of a fire hose. It just doesn’t work. What about simplifying? A great formula for success is simplification AND consistency. These always win. There are going to be times when you don’t do it, don’t feel like you have enough time, or don’t think you’re good enough. That's okay. Consistency is showing up and giving your best on that very day. The best athletes get better by consistently working on ....

• Not cutting corners

  Good morning! We've all heard of something called “grit” — which is connected to mental toughness and resilience. It’s the drive that helps you see your goals through to the end. But there’s something about grit/mental toughness that we tend to forget as we get older… It’s actually EMPOWERING and FUN to build it! Remember when you were a kid and you were learning a new skill — swimming, riding a bike, jumping rope, shooting baskets, etc — and you’d challenge yourself to do just a little more? And then you’d be so proud of yourself as you got better and better? Well, ....

• 8 Ways to OWN IT

  This month we’re focused on taking BIG ACTION toward our goals by doubling down on the one thing that will help you move the needle forward in a BIG WAY… It’s taking PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY (aka practicing resilience, mental toughness, or whatever you want to call it)! These actions will step up your self-care game AND help you reach (& exceed) your health/fitness goals. 8 Ways to Own Your Outcome Hold yourself accountable.
