Without telomeres, your DNA strands become damaged and can’t function properly. Shortened telomere length eventually leads to the inability of the chromosome to replicate at all. When the telomere length shrinks to a critical level and chromosomes can no longer replicate, the cell dies by a process called apoptosis. For this reason, longer telomere length indicates more youthful, healthy cells.

When you are training nearly every day…and working up a sweat while you’re at it. For a variety of reasons you probably don’t wear the same socks, shirt, and shorts/tights every day. The same applies to your shoes.

Remember, not one person has ever looked back on a hard workout and said, “Man, I wish I hadn’t done that.“ To get through tough sessions, you are probably going to need some positive messages to carry you…

I can post article after article on the benefits of fitness. I can post endless workout videos. I can host workouts until the end of time. But if you don’t have a goal to reach and a reason to reach it, then you are not going to make the effort, endure the discomfort, and stay the course.

By now you have noticed that the first question that you get from me every day is about your sleep. Why? Because it matters…it matters a lot.

You learned to tie your shoes a long time ago, and you are really, really good at it. You don’t need any more practice….at least not with your athletic shoes.

Have you ever noticed that your sweat is thicker/sticky the day after you’ve had a couple of adult beverages? Have you noticed that you feel “low energy” while training on the day after a few drinks?

You probably already know that Vitamin D is needed to maintain healthy bones, teeth, skin, and hair. Did you also know that low Vitamin D levels have been linked to various forms of cancer?

You’ve heard it 100 times… “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Well, it is…if you want to burn fat and perform athletically. Oh, you want that…you really do!
