Do you Have a Coach or a Cheerleader?
A coach is like a strategist, guiding you through the game, providing feedback, and helping you improve your skills. They might challenge you, push you out of your comfort zone, and focus on your development.
A cheerleader is there to uplift you and provide moral support. They're the ones cheering you on, celebrating your victories, and offering encouragement. They do not provide detailed strategies like a coach or help improve your skills and abilities.

The Top 4 Reasons your Nutrition Plan has Failed
You want to look better, feel better and even sleep better. You know that taking care of your nutrition is important. And you have tried. But it isn’t working… at least it doesn’t work for very long.

Here’s the truth: It’s not your fault.

What to Eat Before You Exercise
Fueling correctly before your workout will help you perform better and recover quickly. Ideally, you want to have energy during the workout without feeling too full. Here’s how to achieve that ideal balance, whether you work out first thing in the morning, mid-day, or in the evening.
How to Become Sugar Savvy
If you’re having trouble meeting your nutrition, weight loss, or fitness goals -- or just generally feeling tired and run down -- you could be eating too much sugar.
When we talk about sugar, most people think of ice cream, cookies, or soda, but sugar lurks everywhere in processed, packaged food. Just because a product is labeled “organic,” “all-natural,” or “gluten-free,” doesn’t mean it’s healthy or “sugar-free”.
5 WAYS TO EAT MORE HEALTHY PROTEIN
Here are five ways to eat more healthy protein every day. Eating lean protein at every meal is essential to developing a healthy body. Great options include filet mignon, chicken breasts, and fish.
14-Day “Get Lean” Meal Plan
The Foundation is Nutrition
Eat meat & vegetables, nuts & seeds, some fruit, little starch & no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard & fast.
Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations & patterns as creativity will allow.
Routine is the enemy.
Keep workouts short & intense. Regularly learn & play new sports.
