My first CrossFit workout was in September, 2005...and my life has been forever changed for the better.

In August of 2007, I finally got my Level 1 Certification.

Here are a few pictures that were taken were taken in Valencia, California,  at CrossFit Valencia,

I can tell you that they worked us hard over that weekend, but it was well worth it.

If it's time for you to buy your vitamins, I suggest that you check out

I just got an email special notice where you can save $5.00 off your order.  That may not seem like much, but they already have really good prices, so you'll save a little more.

I've been ordering many of my vitamins from them for a couple of years now, and there shipping is as efficient and fast like Amazon.com.

I usually search by dosage and price which makes it easy to buy what is the best value for you.

To get the 5 bucks off you'll need this referral code PER153.

Just got this notice from my friends at The Island Experience.  I was there about 3 years ago, and it was incredible!

When is the last time you’ve taken a deep full breath of tropical goodness? It’s amazing how blossoming rainforest flowers tickling your nose makes you forget the car exhaust from the traffic jams you’ll leave behind.

It’s almost Spring at The Island Experience where nature’s colorful array takes on a whole new level of Beautiful. Where pristine rainforests seem more perky, more green, and more alive. Where blue skies take Blue to a deeper and more meaningful level. Where tranquil waters just seem a little more still, more present.

The weather on the island right now is fantastic. The island feels fresh and the temperature commonly reaches the mid 80’s. There are plenty of sunny days to enjoy all of nature’s wonders. In fact this is probably the driest time of the year.

Come detox your body and de-stress your mind. There still are a few spots left this Spring to have your own Island Experience. And for those who can make it this August 31 – September 6, you’ll need 20% less money to enjoy your island adventure – and that’s even better than less traffic!

Until then, be safe, find your joy, and thank you once more for your continued interest in our program.

All the best,

The Island Experience Crew

Well it's only taken me 13 years of training...but I am finally creating my first online fitness product.

I know you are saying to yourself "why rush into something like this"?

I've seen tons of products that are available online, and many are quite good, but there always seemed to be something missing.

Many of the programs out there seemed like they have been geared for younger woman who want to be more "masculine".  I'm not sure if you know what I mean...but I will try to explain.

Most of what I see online or in magazines tends to preach to women that in order to be "beautiful" they need to be leaner and of a smaller dress size.

Some women may strive for this, and so be it...but I don't see it as being healthy to say the least.

I think that I can speak for most men in saying that we don't find bony, muscled women very appealing.  The media creates this "anorexic" ideal that is both unhealthy, and unachievable.

The program that I am working on encourages women to keep their curves, yet lose fat and get healthy.

I am collaborating with  a long time buddy of mine who is one of the top personal trainers in Brazil.  He and I met at a personal training conference in Orlando over 10 years ago, and we have remained close friends ever since.

Our project is called the Brazilian Beach Body Workout.com. (It's not live yet.)

We are first working on the version for women. Our goal is to create a system whereby women can train according to our workouts and eating plans and lose fat and tone, yet not build bulky muscles or lose their womanly shapes.  Imagine toning up those trouble areas, yet remaining feminine.

We are in the process of writing the e-book, and will be recording the videos soon. (Hmmm make note to self...may have to go to Brazil to record those videos.)

We will be creating a version for the men too.  This version is for men who want to be lean and athletic, let's say like Brad Pitt or a volleyball player rather than a body builder.

You can be included in our pre-launch efforts by signing up for "stay in touch" newsletter at:http://brazilianbeachbodyworkout.ning.com/  Please know that the members site is free, and we have not added any of our logos or artwork, etc.


And no, you will not see me doing any samba dancing on these videos. (That'll be in a separate product entitled 'How to Dance Like a Gringo" by Stephen  Cooper.)

I'll keep you posted,

I'm always looking for ideas on how to provide excellent service to my clients, but something tells me I shouldn't include this in my marketing materials. (Click on the image to see the full size.)
