Can You Feel the Vibrational Energy?
Devon and I are heading down to Florida for our first two-night getaway without the boys. We will miss them, but we are super excited! Combine that with the fact that we are going to a good friend’s wedding down there, so the energy all weekend should be off the chains! We had our annual Thanksgiving Morning Charity workout a few weeks ago and we topped the 100 person mark! That event has turned into such a great thing and multiple people commented on the energy, they could
My Idea Worked Until it Didn’t
Devon and I have been having this battle with Mateena for the past few months. Every time we go out now, Mateena takes out the garbage and makes a mess.

The 9 Natural Laws of Life
A couple of weeks ago, I was back in my motherland of Michigan for a fitness business mastermind.

Well, the reason that it was out in Michigan is because I gave Vince a book by Ari Weinzwig, the owner of the world famous Zingerman’s Deli and long story short, they became good friends. So, Vince set up our meeting out there so we could have dinner at his place an
Knees on the Hands
Two Saturdays ago, we had our normal Saturday morning workout, just me and the guys. It was a small turnout because of the Thanksgiving weekend, but we had fun nonetheless. Well, coming in to the last quadplex (four exercises in a row cluster), I started with heavy goblet squats using the 95 pound dumbbell for 25 reps. Insanely heavy? No, but when you add in 25 reps, your heart gets movin! And then there were 3 other exercises to sprinkle behind that. After the final set,
