Soy.An innocent little green bean esc legume with the popularity of Paris Hilton.Due to the lovers quarrel many people have with soy, and because of the variety of misinformation out there about soy I'll be writing about some of the facts, myths, and legends about the legume.First used in China almost 3000 years ago as a sacred plant, but surprisingly didn't make it as a main food crop until the

Heman. Captain Planet. Iron man. Chip N Dale. Corey and Sean.All quintessential participants in my up bringing.The point that each character made was less important than the simple fact that goals are easier to reach together than they are on your own. That's why the biggest loser participants see such great results, they have a group of people that are like minded and, despite the competition,

I wasn't always the hunk of man meat that you see before you. When I first got into the fitness world, started taking Kinesiology classes, and got serious about health I weighed around 220 with a body fat percentage of around 30.I was 66 pound of fat.Over the past 5 years I've trained, sometimes in the wrong ways and through injuries, and my body has changed to where I'm around 195 pounds and 13

When I was in high school there was a short play I loved called "Sure thing" by David Ives. It starts off with a young woman in a coffee shop being approached by a young man who asks to sit with her. The young man keeps making mistakes, or the conversation doesn't go his way ("Excuse me, is this seat taken?" he begins, "yes" she replies) one of them will ring a bell and the conversation will jump

I hate waking up. It is honestly the worst time of day.One thing I know is that if I don't get my ass out of bed when I planned, everything is shot. Energy is down, I'm mentally foggy, and I know I won't sleep as well the next night.I told you that over the next few weeks I'm going to be giving you a survival guide to get you through the holidays without adding 10 pounds of fat. These are not "

It's true. From what I get from recent surveys and studies most people will gain about 5 pounds during the holiday season. That combined with inactivity and muscle atrophy you can expect a weight shift of about 5 pounds of lean body mass to fat with another 5 pounds on top of that to reach a whopping 10 pound weight shift in about 3 months.If you do a google search most other websites won't take

If you talk to any personal trainer you'll hear them offer up their best tips and tricks for you to use in the gym. "Drink at least your body weight times two in liters in water", or, "only eat protein after 2pm". I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.It's now my turn to put out my top tip, and that is not a typo, tip is right. I'm so confident in what I have learned working in the fitness

Happy Halloween!I hope you enjoy the most non holiday of the year, just make sure you don't jack your kids up on too much sugar. I mean unless you want them to get type two diabetes.Haven't found a way to embed an audio player on blogger yet so you'll have to live with a link to my podcast. HereHave a good weekend-K

Haven't written anything in a few days, thought I'd spring some questions on you.1. What moves you? Where is the why in what you do in the gym or in your exercise?2. Do you do it right? Are you taking the time to learn what is wrong with what you're doing and fix it?3. Are you willing to change? Or are you so in love with what is killing you that you can't move on?4. Have you found pleasure? Or

I've made a commitment to myself. If you look at the post before this one you'll read about focus and picking one goal; this is my goal:By January 1 I will be providing a results based bootcamp in the Woodland hills area 3-5 days a week.The first step in finding success for your fitness goals is picking one.Second, tell as many people as you can so that you will be held accountable to your goals.

I'm about to hit the hay but I thought I'd send out a quick note before I did.Most people I talk to fail in the gym, and it's because they lose focus. I was talking to a kid today at the gym who had 800 goals. He wants to bulk up, improve his posture, get a six pack, make his legs bigger, improve his flexibility, run faster, wrestle a bear, and all while saving the world.Look the reason you fail

Have a fairly relaxing weekend coming up; some studying, some classes, our official moving in party is happening. Who knows maybe I'll get in some blogging over the weekend.If I don't here are some things to pull you through the weekend.1. If you're an athlete and don't do pilates, than you're really ignoring an excellent tool to help keep you healthy. I went into a tackle last week and hurt my

I've tried blogging before, I really have. I tried a personal blog, a professional blog, a myspace blog, and the problem with all of them is that I tried to censor myself way too much. That's what I'm going to change in this blog. I'm going to write what I want to write about, while mostly focusing on the Training world and my interactions with it.While I'm writing this I'm sitting in my living
