Here’s a cool infographic that is spot on. Still amazing how I consult new clients who still think they need to avoid eating fats at all costs.

In my seminars on nutrition, I teach people the role insulin plays in fat loss. You need to know that the hormone insulin is the gatekeeper of fat loss. Once understood, people can take the proper actions and modify their nutrition habits to get healthier, stronger, and leaner.

Fun. Challenging. Rewarding.

The Spartan Sprint Race in Georgia. Carrie and I completed it after the boys (along with their cousin Jack) ran the kids Spartan race.

It took us 1 hour and 36 minutes to complete. I was expecting this to be quicker, as I was initially comparing it in my mind to the Warrior Dash which I finished in under 30 minutes. Totally different races. This Spartan Sprint actually tests you with some of the obstacles whereas the Warrior Dash simply slows you down a bit. And, when you “fail” an obstacle at the Spartan race you have to perform a 30 burpee penalty. I think I did 120 burpees…

But we’ll definitely do it all again next year and I suggest YOU do it too!
