Finally!  It has arrived.  I just came across the latest health and fitness research that has found the answer to our obesity epidemic. The latest research found a way to change the physiology of the human body in order to decrease your overall body fat,  improve muscle size and strength, all while increasing your fitness performance.

The best part is there are no negative side effects to your health and well being. Not only that, I am an exclusive distributor and it can be obtained for very little cost to you.  Learn how you can achieve guaranteed results from the latest innovation called…(click here)

As a fitness and performance coach with over 11 years experience, including both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the exercise science field, I have made health and fitness a way of life that I enjoy sharing with others.

Currently, I organize and lead fitness and adventure trips to Costa Rica and other amazing locations throughout the world (www.ecoxfit.com).  Many members of the gym that I own and operate join me, along with other fitness and adventure enthusiasts.  I have been traveling and hiking in Costa Rica countless times throughout the past ten years. A large part of our trips include hiking through the beautiful mountains and amazing jungles of Costa Rica...

Throughout my career, I have helped countless men and women lose weight and reach their ultimate health and fitness goals. In almost every instance, the most challenging part of reaching their pinnacle and achieving success is not all of the physical work each client endured, but the mental battles each person confronted throughout their journey.  The one constant in each person and their program who successfully reached their goal was that they kept a positive state of mind throughout their journey; viewing any obstacle as a challenge rather than a problem. 

Exercise is not easy.  While we all wish for the weight loss magic pill, unfortunately, there is no such thing...   

While diet and nutrition can often be overwhelming and confusing at times with all of the latest fad diets and supplements on the market, eating healthy is really a simple concept.  Although the concept is simple, I could easily spend many articles, or an entire book for that matter, debunking many diet myths and detailing the essentials of eating a clean diet.  So be on the lookout for future nutrition articles and who knows, maybe even a book one day.  But to keep things simple, I want to talk about maybe the most underrated macro-nutrient of all; protein.

Wikipedia defines proteins as "biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function."  To put it simply, proteins are made up of smaller molecules called amino acids.  They are responsible for some of the most important functions of our body including many cellular functions and chemical reactions necessary to live a healthy life.

There are 20 different amino acids, 9 of which cannot be synthesized by the human body and are thus referred to as 'essential amino acids.'  This means we need to eat certain foods in order to get those amino acids so our body can function properly...  

As we gear up for the summer months and ready ourselves for the many cookouts and pool parties, we all dread the potential weight gain and unhappy feeling from overeating many high calorie BBQ foods and consuming too many summertime beverages.  However, I have the solution to combat the extra caloric intake and experience great fitness and fat shredding results. 

The goal is to increase your metabolism, or the rate at which your body burns calories for energy.  Doing so will offset any potential extra food intake or to simply increase the rate at which you experience results while eating a clean diet.

While eating a clean diet and avoiding these unnecessary treats will certainly assure you maintain your fit physique, try these three secrets to shredding fat and you won’t feel as guilty the next time you indulge in your favorite tailgate spread...

The road to success while following a weight loss plan can be a bumpy one.  It is extremely difficult to travel this path alone.  I believe it is always necessary to have a person or team along for the ride to support you through your journey in order to reach your ultimate destination...

We all have excuses when it comes to starting or maintaining a fitness program—“I don’t have the time,” “I don’t like going to the gym,” or “I don’t have any equipment to use at home.” While you may actually enjoy going to your local gym, we all know that’s not always an option with today's busy schedules.  So how do you stay in shape with limited time and lack of equipment?  

I have spent a number of years training yacht crews here in Fort Lauderdale and have developed many training programs for those crew members living and working at sea for months at a time. Where working an 18 hour day isn't uncommon and crew live in quarters the size of a walk-in closet. Check out the article I wrote for The Triton and the training regimen that works for ANYONE limited on time and space...
