Recently I’ve had several gym members approach me with questions about a sore shoulder, a painful knee, and the dreaded plantar fasciitis. After hearing the same question from all of them, I decided it was time to tell the truth about physical therapy, and answer the question "how many PT sessions does it take to help?"

REST. That’s right, doing nothing but breathing, relaxing your mind...

Americans are obsessed with sleep. We're either studying it, trying to "hack" it so we can do it less, or we're already doing it. If you're one of the many Americans (nearly half!) that doesn't get enough sleep, listen up: you're setting yourself up for burnout and injury.

Over 25% of the US population will die from a stroke or heart attack, and my recent experience suggests that at least that many will also suffer one without dying from it, so let’s say 50% incidence. Which raises the question - how do you beat the odds?

CrossFit athletes display an amazing amount of will power to devote hours upon hours focusing on skill work, training weaknesses, and nutrition. Generally speaking, the typical CrossFit athlete trains 4-6 days a week, eats a relatively strict diet, and makes some lifestyle sacrifices all to help increase their level of performance.

Medical studies prove that the best way to improve your diet is to track the foods you eat. That holds true if you're trying to lose a lot of weight, trim off a little excess body fat, add muscle, or eat for sports performance. In fact, medical studies about weight loss, show that keeping a food journal DOUBLES your results!

MCT, or Medium Chain Triglycerides, are the primary fats found in coconut oil and are some of the healthiest and most beneficial fats found in nature.

A muscle imbalance is a common condition in which one muscle over powers another. Muscles that are disproportionately stronger than others can pull bones and joints out of alignment, causing potentially dangerous postural changes, pain or even injuries.

It's painful and likely the first battle scar you'll get when starting CrossFit. I'm talking about that abrasion that happens at the top of your butt every time you do abmat sit-ups. I'm here to tell you why it happens and how to prevent it, without sacrificing intensity or speed in your workouts.

Having a stronger core can help you live longer, lift more, improve your posture and most importantly prevent injuries.
