Start with ONE exercise… and build from there

As a coach, the most popular excuse that I hear for not doing a workout is some version of “I didn’t have time.”

It can sound like:

  • “Too busy.”
  • “Crazy day at the office!”

There’s always more I could be doing, and the list just keeps growing.

But where is this coming from?  And how do I STOP these NOT-ENOUGHs from dragging me down?

So your teen wants to go vegetarian? Here are 4 ways you can guide them…

If you’re the parent of a teen, it’s likely that food and/or nutrition have been issues at some point.

The need for your teen to assert themselves as individuals, mixed with food aversions, as well as an increased awareness of where their food comes from, how it got to the table, and what effect it has on their bodies…

Well, all that can make for, at the very least, colorful conversations, or at worst, ugly confrontations at the dinner table.
