Do you have a fitness road map? If so, do you plan on sticking to it throughout the summer? I ask because many people have goals they want to reach when it comes to life and fitness. My goal is to help as many people reach their goals as possible. In order to reach them you must have a detailed plan of action or at the very least, a road map. I often hear that many want to lose 20 to 30lbs, desire toned arms and less fat on their hips, thighs and belly. While I love hearing specific goals, I find that many people don’t have a specific plan of action and are unwilling to stop for directions or figure out the truth about how to get there. They want to believe that there is a magic potion. Although weight loss can be achieved very rapidly if using the proper formula, these magic potions don't exist and never will.

Despite reading about the astounding benefits of yoga, many guys are still sitting on the proverbial yoga fence.  I mean, do real dudes do yoga?  Isn’t yoga easy, and just for chicks?  The truth is, yoga can be challenging, difficult and cause you to break into a sweat.  And if you’re brave enough to break out of the box and try a class, it’s not just for girls.

Most of the ancient yogis were men.  Yoga has really only opened up to women in the last half of the twentieth century, although most studios in the US today are filled with women.  Yoga is a healthy activity that you can enjoy with your wife or girlfriend. 

Our minds are an interesting thing. Everything we do comes from our brains, including our movements, actions, habits, speech, etc. It is where patterns in our lives are created. One pattern common to many of us is that we internally keep score for every action we take, which dramatically affects our entire lives. We know when we do something right or wrong, and we always pay for it – or get paid for it – in one way or another.
