Watch out. Don't fall for it. It's a trap.

The trap of "tomorrow." Tomorrow becomes next week, next week becomes next month, next month becomes next year.

You hear people say this all the time.

"I want to lose this weight but I'll start...

Are you making this common mistake?

Over the years, I’ve talked to a lot of over-40 men and women who want to get healthy and lose weight.

And I’m betting the majority of them made the same mistake at one point.

You know what?

...

The key to building lasting habits is focusing on creating a new "identity" first.

Let me explain.

Your current behaviors are simply a reflection of your current identity.

What you do now is a mirror image of the type of person you believe that...

Lot's of "holiday" parties equals boozy temptations.

In truth, even though I no longer drink, it's a challenge for me to avoid alcohol during this time of year.

Sometimes it feels weird to be at a party drinking water when everyone else is, to...

Why is it so hard to stick to good habits?

It seems to be remarkably easy to fall into unhealthy routines...

Eating junk food mindlessly. Watching TV instead of doing your workout. Showing up to a job that brings you no joy. Biting your nails....

It's a sunny Saturday morning and I'm at the local playground with my seven-year-old son, George, and his nine-year-old sister, Giavanna.

So far it's been a busy day of bike rides and seeing who can swing the highest on the swing set.

"Dad, see if...

Imagine if everything you did was recorded.  

And if you had something to prove?  

Of course you would be more likely to show up and do your best.  

Why?  

Well, because you have something to prove and, oh by the way, almost...

Ever stop to think? And forget to start again? It might be stress.

You see, stress affects all of us at some point.

Health, relationships, and money problems are often the root cause of worries.

You choose the unhealthy habits that could be...

The idea that "change is hard" is an age-old myth about human behavior.

The truth is, you change effortlessly and all the time.

Your brain's job is to adjust your behavior based on your environment.

If you create a better environment for yourself,...

Do you love Arangio?

Do you find yourself constantly telling all your friends about how we are helping men and women, over 40 years, get leaner, stronger, and happier?

Have you ever wanted to work with us by sharing in the mission of Arangio that...

Asparagus is high in vitamin A, folic acid and dietary fiber, which are all thought to play a vital role in fighting cancer.

It also contains high levels of potassium, which may help control blood pressure.

Better yet, asparagus is rich in rutin...

One of the most powerful things you can do, to dramatically lose weight and slow aging, is to play "The Long Game."

It's the way I teach my personal training clients to approach everything in life and it goes something like this...

Consistently...

Most often, the fastest way to move forward is by subtracting something.

Sounds odd, right? It goes against the popular theme of more, more, and even more.

Boozing too much. Eating way too much. Feeling sad and guilty and tired for days afterward,...

Success leaves clues and I wanted to benefit from those clues.

Once I made the commitment to surround myself with others who were already where I wanted to be, success seemed to simply flow into my life.

I call it The Yoda Method.

But more on that...

Batch-prepare your meals, on Sundays and Wednesdays, to save time and make sure you have healthy options for the week.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't make a fresh meal for nightly dinner, if you like.

You see, some foods are better for batch...

Do you ever get stuck? Stuck thinking about the past and how things used to be?

I know I do. Maybe you're stuck in a relationship or in a job that you don't love.

Maybe you're stuck with having high bodyfat and low energy.

I talk to countless...

A local health club advertised a $5 coupon inviting folks to an open house.

At this meeting, a "fitness expert" would reveal a coveted "secret diet" that was easy and involved minimal effort.

Imagine to my surprise that, for a measly five bucks, I...

Where we live, it's getting dark very early.

It's just that time of the year when there's less daylight.

The temperature is dropping too.

Perfect hibernation weather, if you are a bear.

But you are NOT a bear.

Problem is, this...

If you were in the military, then you’ve likely experienced a real bootcamp.

Not a fitness bootcamp, but a 24/7 “Basic Training” immersive experience designed to prepare you physically and mentally for the tasks ahead.

It’s...

Tired of going nowhere on the treadmill? Respectfully speaking, skip the long slow cardio if you want to build calorie-torching muscle.

As an added bonus you'll slow aging too.

Here's a step-wise plan to help you get lean and strong.

Or lean and...

I’ve seen my client-athletes accomplish some truly inspiring things.

They’ve dreamt of re-building their bodies, living outstanding lives, and having profound impacts. Then they set goals in order to accomplish those dreams.

I think...

You order a quarter chicken (mixed light and dark meat) with honey sauce and salt and pepper. It arrives in a paper bag with deep-fried potato wedges, two pieces of thick-cut sourdough sandwich bread, and a generous side of coleslaw in a paper...

You've heard the still, small voice in the back of your mind, right?

You know, the one that tells you to take shortcuts. To take the easy road. To avoid hardship. To stay clear of anything requiring discipline. To "give up."

But winners...

In life, everything will choose the path of least resistance. Doesn't matter if we're talking about water, electricity, or your brain.

Things will always default to what is the shortest, quickest, or easiest way.

Did you know, through DNA...
