I have often been in the gym and there are often two types of people there – ones that go to the gym to work and ones that go to the gym to say they worked.  First, no matter which group you may fall into, getting to the gym is definitely something to be proud of, but so often people wonder why they are not seeing results when they are in the gym...

I got a chance to shoot with Iron Man Magazine in March and met the amazing photographer Michael Neveux who shot some amazing pictures.

So as we all do at this time of year, I have been reflecting a lot about 2011 and what resolutions I would like to accomplish in 2012.  2011 has been an incredible year for me in pursuing my passions for fitness and acting and really stepping outside of my comfort zone to pursue them in earnest. However, what I have been so grateful for in 2011 has been the...

Merry Christmas everyone!  As we celebrate the birth of Christ and remember the spirit of giving, I hope we all do so in good health and remember that health truly is wealth.  I have so much to be thankful for this year, but I am simply blessed to be alive, healthy and have the ability to keep pursuing my goals.  Well, looks like Santa put in some serious off...
