Another Holiday Bonus

Enjoying some time in the "Reacher" zone during the break. This one was loaned to me a while back by a co-worker and I am just now getting around to picking it up. Enjoying it thus far and looking forward to finishing it so I can get another.

Santa was good to Blythe

Just when I thought Christmas with Blythe and Kate couldn't get better, Kate made a Santa surprise display for Blythe to wake up to. I loved waking up to surprises on Christmas morning as a kid and it was fun to watch Blythe explore all of hers this morning. To top it all off, Kate prepared an outstanding Christmas breakfast of eggs, bacon, cinnamon buns, and fruit.

Helpful Links and Information for Chapters One and Two of Intervention

I have really enjoyed the emails and positive reviews about my new book, Intervention. This book was a long journey into the night, but it is really how I approach things. I had this idea to provide some "answers" to the basic questions that come up…and just some fun resources that might help you on this voyage towards your fitness goals.

First, two quick references that are early in the book.

Euclid's Postulates

1. A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.

I wasn't even close!

Genesis Chapter Three

When they heard the sound of the LORD God walking about in the garden at the breezy time of the day, the man and his wife hid themselves from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. The LORD God then called to the man and asked him: Where are you?

Euclid and Genesis provide the framework for much of my insights about goal setting. Your goal is Point B, your starting position is Point A and my first task is to ask you "Where are you?" Next, usually, it is my task to tell you that you are not, sadly, even on the line from A to B.

I reference my other works, "Mass Made Simple" and the DVD of  Intervention early in the work. You can find them here.

For more information on the Functional Movement Screen, hit their website here.

Recently, we have had an interesting discussion at the Q and A concerning a simple "Stand Up" assessment and I will be adding it for my clients and athletes. You can see the test here.

If you don't know about my friend, Pavel, you can read more about him here at his new site.



Pavel and I wrote a book, Easy Strength, noted in the book and it is available here.

I have been a huge fan of Phil Maffetone since, I think, the 1980s. This will link you to his site.

Leigh Peele, a fantastic trainer with a great website (thanks for showing me this, Josh Hillis), has a great little explanation of bodyfat percentages with pics. This is very helpful.<...

Running with Kate

Logged some quality miles with Kate today. We enjoyed our run all over town this morning even though it was pretty chilly.
