How many time have you said, "I'm not feeling motivated to workout." Or "I'm just not feeling it today." The truth is that expecting motivation to reach a peak level to push you over the edge into taking action is never going to happen. Motivation is fleeting and willpower is finite. Relying on these things will always fail unless you do the strategies that I outline for you in this episode.

Focus on the time and tension components of your exercise technique for huge size and strength gains. “Your Muscles Don’t Count But They Can Tell Time.” This is something I say to my clients a lot to help them understand that while counting reps is important, it’s how much time to take to do each rep that counts. Don’t believe me? Excellent. I want you to do the same thing that I have all my clients do when they don’t immediately buy into this idea. I want you to do two sets of 10 reps of push ups. On first set, I want you to perform those 10 reps taking 2 seconds to lower and 2 seconds to push back up. On the second set, I want you to take 5 seconds to lower and 5 seconds to push back up. Which one was harder? The second set was, right? But why? Well, the fist set you took 40 seconds to complete those 10 reps. On your second set, you took 100 seconds to complete 10 reps. That’s over twice the amount of time of time that it took to complete the first set. Again, muscles tell time a lot better than they can co

In today's episode, our guest Ryan Magdziarz will share his personal story of success at a young age. Also how you have to take smart risks if you ever want to live a legendary life.

We all know by now that maintaining an active lifestyle should be one of our top priorities in life. Only by taking care of ourselves do we stand a chance of being the kind of person we strive to be on the job, at home with our loved ones, and in our communities. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. "I don't have enough time." is the #1 excuse that people give as a reason they don't workout.  In this episode of Legendary Life, you’ll learn my 7 top strategies to get fit in 30 minutes a day (or less) even if you’re super busy. And you'll even get a few sample workouts so you can try them out. Listen Now! 

We've all heard the saying that we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. And that we shouldn't judge each other solely based on how we dress or groom ourselves. The reality is that we all judge each other all the time based on our visual appearance. In this episode, sociologist Dr. Anna Akbari will talk about how you can increase your personal power and charisma simply by grooming and dressing better. She'll go into the science of why some of our tendency to judge is hardwired in our biology as well as the cultural factors influencing perception. Learn how to take control of your appearance to promote yourself in a successful way.

Friday night, Gisele and I stayed in and watched I AM NOT YOUR GURU, the new documentary about Tony Robbins on Netflix.    To be honest, I wanted to watch something else but Gisele was insistent because Tony is one of her heroes. And I have to say that it was one of the most engaging and inspiring movies I've ever seen.   Here are three reasons why you should watch it (even if you're not a Tony Robbins fan):   Advanced Communication Skills: In the movie, you’ll watch Tony go through some unbelievable situations with some of his attendees. You’ll watch how Tony is able to cause a state change in the person he’s speaking with. It’s simply incredible to watch Tony navigate tough situations with empathy, grace and control. You’ll also see how he’s able to help people with their struggles on the spot. Although I’ve enjoyed some of Tony’s CDs in the past, I’ve never been to one of his events. And I wouldn’t call myself a “true fan.” But after watching, him in action at his Date With Destiny seminar, I’ve made it

“I need to start taking better care of myself.” “I feel like I’m stuck in rut.” “It’s time to make my health more of a priority.”  Any of those sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone.   I hear this in the emails I get from my listeners, I see this from the Facebook messages I receive and from the people I talk to. Everyone's got either an excuse or a reason why they're not taking control of their health and fitness. In this episode, I go beyond the surface solutions share a strategy that will solve the deeper problems that you're facing that are preventing you from getting the body and live you want.

Listen and learn what mistakes you might be making from getting the physique you deserve from all your hard work in and outside the gym.

In my 17 years as a health & fitness expert and personal trainer in Miami Beach, I’ve known and trained some great doctors…interventional radiologists, plastic surgeons, emergency medicine doctors and more. But I’ve also had my share of frustration and disappointment with some doctors as well. When I went to a cardiologist after a panic attack landed me in the emergency room, he gave me an echo stress test and said everything was fine. There was no evidence of a cardiac infarction and my echo stress test showed that my heart was normal and healthy—even though everything was NOT fine. It took me months researching stress on my own and finding ways to manage stress because doctors I saw didn’t have any solutions for me. Have you had a negative experience with a doctor as well? It seems like they’re trained to deal with bacterial infections, blood diseases, and broken bones. And they’re great for those medical issues. But when it comes to chronic health issues, traditional doctors don’t have ANY helpful answ

Getting results from exercise is more than just selecting good exercises or pushing yourself in the gym. It’s about the picking the best options for your goals, body type and ability to recover.   If every workout were created equal, they would create the same results for every person. But all workouts aren’t created equal and neither are we.   We all have different genetics, body types, stress levels, eating habits, sleep quality and responses to exercise.   While most effective workouts boil down to the same principles, there’s a reason why many of the best bodies in the world used very different strategies to build them.   And if you’d like to here how I teach the principles of exercise, check out my episode on .   Part of it has to do with understanding the science of building strength and muscle as well as fat loss.   The other part is the art of applying the science and principles to the unique person you have in front of you.   That’s what I’ve specialized in for the past 17 years working with my perso

Do you have a mentor? Who is ahead of you in life and helping you make the right decisions? In this episode, I sit down and speak with one of my mentors Thomas Plummer. You may have heard about all the speaking opportunities I have coming my way. I went to Thomas' speaker school and that experience set me up for a successful speaking career. Today, Thomas is here to help you to understand what it really takes to find your life's purpose and live a life of fulfillment. Thomas will also help you determine what phase of life you're in and what to focus on. I've never heard Tony Robbins or any other personal development guru ever break it down the way Thomas does. Lastly, Thomas will share his secrets for staying ahead in a world that is changing rapidly.

Are you confused about exactly what to eat for optimal health AND physical performance? You’re not alone. I’ve been studying nutrition in college and on my own for over 17 years…and I still get confused at times! It’s no wonder. A search on Amazon for “diet books” yields over 200,00 results! There’s so much conflicting information… “Eggs are good for you.” Vs. “Eggs raise your cholesterol and will clog your arteries.” “Carbs are evil.” Vs. “You need carbs to train hard and build muscle.” “Protein is essential for building muscle.” Vs. “Eating meat will give you cancer and ruins the environment.” It’s leaves you frustrated, confused and feeling like, “Screw this nutrition thing, it’s too complicated!” It doesn’t have to be this way. And you don’t have to be a “diet zealot” who practices an almost religious adherence to a particular nutrition philosophy. And there’s no need for you to beat your head against the wall trying to figure out the perfect nutrition plan that makes you look AND feel great! I get result

My "9 Biggest Myths In Fitness Debunked" episode did so well that I was asked to do another similar episode. A listener asked "Ok...now can you hit the 9 most important principles worth actually listening to ...as of 2016 ? As a person attempting to get it right it is an absolute 'separate job' to filter through the enormous magazine, internet, product marketing jungle to real answers ...other than the obvious step one 'move your a$$' and step two 'more often'...just saying." In this episode, I cover "The 7 Most Important Training Principles For Getting Faster Results." If you listen and apply the principles in this podcast, you won't have to have a separate job just to filter through all the fitness information out there! Just follow these 7 principles and you'll likely get better results than ever before.   Don't forget you have 48 hours left to join my Peak Performance Coaching program.
