Post Holiday Thoughts………

December 26th, 2009

Hey guys, hope everyone had an awesome day yesterday on Christmas and Santa brought you want you asked for.  I was talking with my mom a few days ago and she was shopping for my brother, sister and myself.  As we got to talking I told her that if  I look at my life and take a step back for a moment, there is absolutely nothing that I need right now.  I am totally healthy.  I have a beautiful fiance who takes great care of me and helps and supports me more than I could ever ask for.  My family is healthy and all safe.  I own an awesome training facility with all the best equipment I could only dream of owning a few years back and our newest addition to the fam is Harley the Bulldog.  He is a treat to have around.

Anyway I feel totally blessed for the life I have and could not be happier.  Of course if you asked me what I “want” as opposed to what I “need”  than I would easily write you a laundry list of techy stuff, more gym equipment, ski and surf gear and a house in Hawaii and Colorado.   There will always be things I want however when I really take a look at my life there is NOTHING I need.

Anyway I had a great workout today and figured I would share it with you.  I plan on writing a BOATLOAD more blogs this coming year.  Blogs that include exercise videos, video tutorials, book /product reviews, nutrition tips and much, much more.  I would love to hear what you would like me to write about.

Just drop a comment and tell me what you would like to learn about.

The TRX is a great way to add some bodyweight variety into your training program.  For more info check out Fitness Anywhere website.
