I find it funny, but people often ask me if I ever miss a workout. Maybe it’s my rugged good looks or my underwear-model body (haha!) that gives the impression that I live in the gym. But in addition to being a ‘fitness pro’, I am a real person too, so of course, things do [...]

Life In The Big City
Posted in Joe on March 29, 2007 | No Comments »
Got another short post today as I’m still in NYC and have a free day to explore my favorite city. We had a relatively smooth day in the studio yesterday - especially considering it was the first time we shot video. It certainly helps when we get to work with a model that really works [...]
If I Can Make It There…
Posted in Joe on March 28, 2007 | No Comments »
Quick one today - I’m on my way out the door and running uncharacteristically late. I’m heading up to NYC to work on a special project with Men’s Fitness magazine for the next couple of days and don’t want to be the guy known for holding up the schedule…
Since I need to run, today’s “cup” [...]

Women.
Every month, there’s the usual 2 weeks of cramping, whining and bloating, then it happens.
The new issue of their favorite softcore fitness magazine arrives and the newest last-workout-you’ll-ever-need becomes their sole purpose for going to the gym.
It must have been delivered over the weekend because when I was in the gym yesterday, there was a [...]
That’s Great, But So What?

I’m always amused when someone tells me they lost X number of pounds. My usual response is “of what?”
Did you get a haircut?
Trim your fingernails?
Are you dehydrated?
Or maybe you had one of those spare organs removed. (Do we really need TWO kidneys? Or maybe you can tell me why we still have gallbladders?)
There are obvioulsy [...]
Does Placebo Effect Count As Success?

Maybe the Atkins diet really is the best idea since sliced bread. I’ve discovered it’s really, really hard to convince a person who lost a lot of weight on a fad diet that it didn’t actually work.
I’m frequently asked which diet plan, training program or exercise is the best. Yes, I am extremely confident in [...]
The Global Warming Solution: Stop Exercising
Posted in Ha-ha, Humor, Media on March 22, 2007 | 1 Comment »
With each step on the treadmill and every rep at the squat rack, fitness minded people around the world are carelessly contributing to global warming and ultimately, the demise of life on earth.
If we’re to believe that we li’l ol’ humans are responsible for all the heat buildup and greenhouse gasses, one must take into [...]

It’s that time of year again… Coca-Cola is cooking up thier annual Passover Edition kosher Coke - apparenty the Jewish popuation spends enough on the carmel colored nectar-of-the-gods, some chochem at Coke figures its worth making a yearly visit back to the original real-sugar sweetened formula. Isn’t there anyone who can go 8 days without [...]
The Customer Is Always Right… Right?

Every so often, I like to take a quick look at the latest & greatest products and consumer-reviews at Fitness Infomercial Review. Given the apparent popularity of products such as “Yoga Booty Ballet”, “Hip Hop Abs” or my personal favorite, “the RED exerciser” - I have to admit that I’m completely stumped as to why [...]
