How I Get So Much Done (personal info)
My day begins between 3:30 and 4 a.m. I slip stealthily from under the covers and drape my feet over the edge of the bed. Bally the Dog, alert to my slightest of movements, takes this as his cue to get up from his mat. He wanders over from the corner of the bedroom to…
Read MoreFat Burning Zone Cardio and Abs Workout
Alright, after yesterday’s 5-minute workout, we’re going to get SERIOUS today with a new cardio and abs workout. Boom! Here’s how it goes down. Start with 40 minutes of slow cardio in your “fat burning zone”. That means going really light to moderate. Use the elliptical, if possible. Great machine. Hope you have your leg…
Read MoreAre You Going to Ruin the Rest of 2014 for Others?
“Well, you’ve already ruined Thanksgiving for a bunch of families,” I said to one of our Mastermind members, “Are you going to ruin their Christmas as well?” Harsh, I know, but I had to take the role of a stern, but loving parent to get the message across. You see, our client had an important…
Read More5 Minute Fat Loss Miracle Workout
Depending on your weekend, you either are feeling one of two ways this morning. First, you might have been super busy, doing gardening and spring cleaning, and you’re sore. Or…you ate too much, didn’t do too much, and feel kind of crappy. The good news is that I don’t care. 😉 And I mean that…
Read MoreNearly Dead Trainer’s 3 Steps to Success
Three years ago I was standing over his hospital bed. We were worried the damage would be permanent. Just 24 hours earlier everything had been fine. Then boom. One accident later, and there was my good friend, Joel Marion, lying in a hospital bed, with the doctors and his family preparing for the worst. Amazingly,…
Read MoreMy Grocery List and Diet to Overcome Health Problems
I have two little health problems I need to fix. One is “funny”, the other, embarrassing. Both, like most health issues we have, can be fixed with diet. Let’s start with the lighter of the two. Longtime readers will remember that I have Raynaud’s. Know someone that has cold hands all the time? They probably…
Read MoreThree Questions from a Small Town Billionaire
It sounds like the set-up from the latest Hillbilly reality television show. The star of the show likes to drink Coca-Cola, play bridge, eat See’s candies, is buddies with a talking British lizard, and has lived in the same modest house in the same Midwestern city for over forty years. Dull Dynasty or The Real…
Read More10 Minute Circuit Workout for Women
Saturday morning rocked. After an amazing superfoodz breakfast, I did three different 10-minute circuits for the new TT for Women monthly workout. These workouts are strong enough for a man, but slightly specialized for a woman. To make a “female” workout, you’ll do more bodyweight exercises, fewer sets per exercise (but more exercises), and more…

The only trainer better than this guy might be his wife. They run the one of the best gyms in America, as rated by Men’s Health magazine, and I’m spending big bucks to bring him – and her – out to the Turbulence Training bootcamp weekend summit in San Diego on June 6th and 7th.…
Read MoreHow To Become A Master
The old saying is, “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.” Well, this goes for virtual mentors, too, not just people in person. If you’re struggling with people in your environment, minimize your interaction with the negatives and emphasize the positives, and look to virtual mentors, as I…
