“I looked over and wondered who that skinny guy was on the other side of the gym and it was you.” That was something I heard this morning at the gym from another coach. My first reaction is always doubt. …
Ups & Downs
On our recent vacation, I got up and hit the hotel workout room, something I probably would have avoided in the past because there was no barbell. With the Peloton app, I got in a great workout with a 30…
