I tell ya; love him, like him or dislike him for his political views, I find reading about Barack Obama’s lifestyle philosophies fascinating. As he says, “practical but considered, modern but accessible”.
One such philosophy is view of fitness. It’s not that he workouts out that is unique, just about every president preceding him, exercised. [...]

When people hear me talking about looking, feeling and "performing" better, many I know, think I am solely talking about achievement. I use terminology like "healthy high achiever", so it’s about time I clear this up.
As you may know a lifestyle that focuses on performance, can be the healthiest lifestyle around, with the least amount [...]

The other day, right after a powerful workout session,as part of a 6:00AM group of busy professionals, I gave a short introductory presentation on Performance Lifestyle -how to get your lifestyle working for you, not against you.
In that 15 minutes we powered through a couple of ideas that had a big impact on everyone involved.

See my last post: Living like a pro is easier!
I was on the phone with a friend and associate recently talking about how people perceive a Performance Lifestyle and the whole idea of "Living like a Pro" the way Healthy High Achievers do, when most people are just trying to "get started".

Now doesn’t that sound narcissistic!
A couple of years ago, I would have had that point of view. I would have never said anything like that… that was for those "spiritual" people who aren’t focused on success.
I was a high achiever…
Little did I know that I didn’t love myself, much at all; which really meant, I [...]

You know, I get this question all the time and it’s not unusual because a Performance Lifestyle is a new concept. New concepts require explanation.
So today I am going to give you the "plain "explanation.
Simply put…

One of the things I take very seriously, is understanding what things mean. In other words, what the words and phrases we use actually mean.
