My workout for today will be a tough one, physically and emotionally. One of our dogs is 15 and we have to put her down. She can barely walk, yelps in pain in the middle of the night and barely eats. So, today’s workout is digging a hole in our backyard in cold, snowy NY for her final resting place.

This is the time of year that most people pack on that awful 5-10 lbs of “holiday weight”. I’m pleading with you to commit to NOT letting that happen! After feasting line we all did yesterday, it’s time to get RIGHT BACK on the wagon and grinding our way to the success we all want. So here’s to living the disciplined life that yields the results we ALL yearn for!!! Hands Up…KEEP FIGHTING!!!

For those of you looking for some killer workout ideas, be sure to check out the new “Top Workouts” section that I just took live inside the “Classroom” tab…It’s basically a top ten list for any type of kettlebell routine you could be looking for! Just go to the “Classroom” tab and scroll down until you see the “YouTube” thumbnail…. Hands Up…KEEP FIGHTING!!!

Wife sent me this earlier today and it IMMEDIATELY made me think of you guys! Far too often we place too much care and consideration into things that just don’t matter. This creates sometimes crippling levels of anxiety. The facts are, so much of the things that we stress about in life are outside our control. I’m not saying be apathetic on items that you don’t have any control in, but I would urge you all to do your level best moving forward to shelf the things that you cannot. I’m telling you right now, your level of stress will reduce ten fold, and your ability to think clearly will take off!
