Sean doesn’t back down from a challenge.  But after losing 70lbs and gaining it back he wasn’t in a great place.  He needed something different than the unsustainable things he’d tried before.  

In June Sean partnered with us.  In his first 4 months Sean is down 40lbs, about 20% body fat and has a new perspective on his health and fitness. 

”I’m getting stronger every day and I’m learning that the journey of making the right decisions is the enjoyable part.”

Sean doesn’t look at this journey as one with a finish line anymore.  It’s a journey of continually improving himself and setting a positive example for his friends, family and coworkers.

How you train has a huge impact on the visual results you see over time.  What if the things you're doing in the gym, or on the streets will never give you the results you are looking for?

Muscle tone, muscle definition, athletic... Call it what you want. 

If your goal is to look better physically it matters what you do in your training. 

You might not only be doing the wrong type of exercise,  you might be doing things counterproductive to your goals.

In this episode we're tackling the topic of what exactly you should be doing, and how hard you should be doing it if your goal is to change your physique.

Eating out at restaurants can be tricky if you don't know what's going on behind the scenes.  Culinary trained chef JC Ricks is pulling back the kitchen curtain and telling us how food is cooked, how to order it and how to cook it at home so it's still delicious.  

Wow what an episode we have today with Head Chef and part owner of Dandelion Cafe in Houston, TX JC Ricks. 

Let's face it.  It can be hard to keep from gaining weight if you eat out at restaurants a lot.  But that doesn't have to be the case if you know what you're doing. 

Chef JC Ricks joins us today to tell us what's really going on behind the scenes in restaurant kitchens. 

Learn from JC's experience how to order foods that can help keep you on track. 

JC schools us on some great tips for cooking at home as well as giving us advice on knives and cutting boards.

It's hard to change your body composition if you don't know what to eat.  Everyone knows you can't out work a bad diet.  But what if you don't even know what a "good" diet really is?  Whether your goal is improving your health or improving your physique, the foods you choose matter.  Here's what you need to know about how food affects your body composition.  

The fact is that HOW MUCH you eat and HOW many grams of protein, carbs and fat have a huge effect on the visual and health results that you achieve. 

If you don't eat enough you won't get results.  If you eat too much you'll gain fat.  If you don't eat enough protein and carbs you'll be frustrated with your lack of progress. 

Speaking of progress... This stuff takes time!  If you're looking for a "quick fix" you're on the wrong track.
