This is serious stuff, weight training, and you […]

Eat This! Breadless Living

I’m going to be straight with you, here.  NO, there is absolutely no substitute for bread that is going to taste like the stuff you remember, okay?  I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area.  Bread for me was SF’s own sourdough – for which there is no replacement, much like the pizza in NYC.  I […]

Michele John, Certified GT Coach I remember the first time I experienced active fat loss.  I was watching T.V. and one of the characters got some bad news and the next thing I knew I was bawling as if I was watching Steel Magnolias or Terms of Endearment.  I thought to myself…what the heck is going on?  […]

Sheri’s Workouts: The Power of Six – BodyWeight Butt and Core

March 13, 2011

Another installment in the popular Power of Six series!  This one is deceptively challenging, and uses NO weights.  We even filmed the moves in the bottom of a silver mine pit to showcase that you can, indeed, train anywhere… The background:  when weight lifting, the first 2-3 sets are really just about blood distribution.  When […]

Ask Dave: Canola Oil

February 27, 2011

Q:  Why does my coach tell me not to use Canola Oil? (Alan, New York) A: Canola oil is highly processed on many levels starting with it’s name.  There is no ‘canola’ plant in the history books predating 1978.  Canola stands for ‘Canadian oil, low acid’ and was developed by genetic selection of the rapeseed.
