Improve your 5k time
Here are a few ways to improve your running time that will help you beat your friends and earn bragging rights throughout this summer season.
Basic movement patterns
When designing training programs, I have a different view point compared to most online trainers, in that I come from the sports performance world so what I choose to do will not only get you in shape and looking better, but it’s going to help you move better and will translate to what you enjoy doing.
Is more always better?
Whether it comes to health, fitness or nutrition, you or someone you know has probably thought that if X amount is good, then more is better. While this may make sense in theory, rarely is this true.
Exercise stability, how much is necessary
Unilateral training is one of the best ways to improve limb strength and correct gross asymmetries. However, some of the exercises I see performed end up looking more like a circus act instead of a way to spur real physical adaptations.
Should you follow a meal plan?
When it comes to nutrition coaching, the first thing I’m always asked is, “Will I get a meal plan?” and the response will almost always be no.
Should your workouts crush you?
A common misconception among fitness enthusiasts is that if your workout doesn’t crush you, then it was a waste of time or not as good as it could’ve been.
Supplement Don’ts
I often get asked about supplements and which ones people should take. While there are good products from established companies with good manufacturing practices, the vast majority of them are nothing more than a waste of money.

Why You're Not Losing Weight
So you’re not losing weight and you’re not sure what exactly is going on. Well there are a multitude of reasons as to why this may be happening, but I’ll go over the most common ones I see below.
The Value of Testing
Testing is one of those topics that generally has some confusion around it, from who should be doing it, to how, or even if you should test at all. Now I’ll go through my personal thoughts and try to explain why I believe it to be important, not just for athletes but for anyone with health and fitness related goals.
