Simplification: It's catching on!

If you read my recent post about un-complicating fitness, you weren’t alone. Apparently it has set the fitness blogging world on fire! Anthony Colpo must read DoingSPEED.com. Steve Kamb must read DoingSPEED.com. I’m just being silly, of course. I doubt

Why Make Fitness More Complicated?

Why make fitness more complicated? We’ve already established that weight loss is not all that simple, right? If you don’t agree, please chime in and tell us why. Not everyone is out to lose weight, so let me back up

Why Chad Waterbury is Wrong and I'm Right (as always)- Part 3

In Parts 1 and 2 I discussed 2 of the 3 references on Chad Waterbury’s Fat Loss Research page on www.chadwaterbury.com. I like Chad’s work, I just don’t agree with his use of these references. The science just isn’t behind his recommendations in the way he’d like them to be.

Killer Computers

Killer Computers!!! The information age has enabled us to communicate in incredible ways, ushering in a fast-paced society where anything is possible.  We can accomplish anything we need with a few clicks of a mouse or keyboard.  We’ve become best

Matt, I'm sore. Should I stretch?

It’s a common misconception that stretching before/after/during a workout will help relieve the soreness we feel from a challenging workout. While it’s very rare that I’ll tell a client not to stretch, I make sure they understand it’s not going

Mirror, mirror….

We have no mirrors in our workout room at L.E.A.N.  We decided, based on some research we read (of course) that mirrors may be detrimental to some of our clients’ self-image.  We’ve been asked quite a few times if we

Healthy Bacteria

Sunrise

Piggy-backing on my last post about the importance of sleep, I wanted to write a quick not about waking up. It’s hard to do sometimes, especially when the sun isn’t up yet. Our sleep cycles are tied to our hormonal
