I hesitated to say “the latest…and GREATEST” in the title because that’s not quite where my head is at. This missive is really being prompted by some outstanding discussions I’ve recently had with a number of clients. There are a lot of diets out there. To name just a few there has been High Protein, High Carbohydrate, Low Carbohydrate, Low…
Anterior Truncal Obesity. Abdominal Fat. Now here’s a popular topic and it’s worth examining. In an ideal world these terms never apply to Lifetime Athletes.

Sometimes our societal constructs and the natural world don’t always coincide perfectly. PK & I recently had a discussion on the Podcast about kickstarting…
Yesterday was WhipperSnapper Wednesday. That was the theme of the daily email (The T2 eBlast!) that goes out to our Training Tribe members. The message was Get. Younger. Today. That was no joke and the tips and motivation the members received related to the training we are doing this month. The month of March may not have come in like…
