We’re All The Same…Yet Different

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

Whenever I take on a new Fat Burning Furnace student, I’m often
reminded of this basic principle of health and fitness that most
people overlook.  And that is, we’re all the same, but we’re all
different.  How does that apply to getting lean, strong, and

Should You Workout When You’re Sick?

I was just reminded today about the importance of rest and
recovery in relation to lasting health and fitness.  How?  Well,
I came down with a cold just the other day.

You see, I’ve been working day and night lately on some exciting
new products to help my Fat Burning Furnace students take their

getting the amount of quality sleep or rest that I need to
perform at my best.
