When the titanic left the port, there was a very specific desired outcome for the people on board.

They wanted to enjoy the luxury of this incredible new boat and get to New York.

We all know what happens.

The plans of every single person on that...

Some thoughts about arguably the most powerful emotion.

Love.

If you feel it in your heart.

Feel it so strongly that it moves you deeply.

Let it out. Don't hold back. Stop assuming anything.

Tell the most important people in your world that you...

One of the biggest challenges I see many folks struggling with is what I call the "Big Balancing Act."

Balancing today's needs with your long-term vision and goals.

Let's assume I'm talking about you for a moment.

You know you need to invest in...

Today's lesson is different.

Rather than talk about the usual things, like why detox diets will only frustrate you, I'll discuss racism.

And perhaps a simple way to end it once and for all.

Sorry, but I just need to weigh in on how I feel.

One of the biggest differentiators between super-successful clients and everyone else is that the great ones keep improving.

They keep evolving their healthy habits and making things 1% better.

And they do this over and over again.

If you look at...

Are you feeling extra stressed and overwhelmed about things that usually were a breeze?

Maybe the little things you would have normally shrugged off are causing more stress and frustration than usual.

Can you relate?

The stress of life can add up...

Over the past 25+ years of coaching I've noticed a trend when it comes to unsuccessful people.

You know, the folks who set lofty goals and make big promises... yet never hit those goals.

Unsuccessful folks never quite dedicate themselves to the...

When it comes to getting healthy, choose faith over fear.

But does that mean you never get concerned or scared?

Definitely not.

In my opinion, having zero fear is a dangerous thing.

Only someone with extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior feels...

Dropping unwanted pounds is a battle.

At least two-thirds of the U.S. population is struggling with being overweight or obese.

It's especially tough if you've been overfat for a long time.

It's even more challenging when there's a global virus...

If you exercise long enough, you will come to a point where your training isn't going well.

This might be your current situation.

Especially since many globo gyms have closed, which is forcing you to get creative and train at home.

But there's...

Ever notice if your day gets started off rough, it often sets the tone for the rest of the day.

However, it doesn't have to be this way.

Stop trying to be perfect. Nobody is.

Stop believing that if you don't have time for a gym workout and three...

In my 20s, I had the honor of meeting Bo Jackson in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

One of my clients saw the picture below (scroll to the bottom of the page) and said, "Bo Knows Joe."

I thought that was a good one.

This article was originally written for...

I’m going to ask you to do something a little weird right now.

Ready?

I want you to imagine your favorite, most decadent thing to eat.

Maybe it’s a too-thick wedge of double-chocolate cake chased with an ice-cold cup of almond milk.

...

It may seem like today was just like yesterday.

But it wasn’t. It was completely different.

You see, every day is unique.

Appearances can be deceiving—and almost always are.

There may be times when things seem to be going along...

When it comes to weight loss, what you do on your average day matters more than what you do on your best day.

If you want to drop unwanted bodyfat, be sure that you’re not continually spending more time thinking about what to do rather than...

I received an email from a client who is really struggling with anxiety and depression.

"Joe, I don’t know what I can look forward to."

Man, I could feel the hurt in their words.

I can say with full confidence that uncertainty weighs heavily...

There is one reason why most people haven’t yet reached their goals, and it’s a simple one.

It’s something that I’ve struggled with in the past, and it just may be the one thing that’s holding you back from your big...

Maybe you remember it.

I sure do.

I remember a few years back when the thought of shopping online was something my parents wouldn't even consider.

They couldn't trust putting their information into websites.

No way.

They even shredded their papers...

Get busy living or get busy dying.

In other words you can be proactive about your health or you can be reactive once your doctor discovers a problem.

When it comes to your health, it's better to be proactive.

But whatever you’re going...

When stress levels are high, you must find productive ways to decompress.

So I have a suggestion.

Take a brisk 10-minute walk when you need to de-frazzle your nerves.

Here's why.

One of the most undervalued (and often times disregarded) advantages...

My general rule-of-thumb is to eat your calories versus drinking them.

An exception to the rule is a meal-replacement shake.

So you would choose to eat an actual orange versus drinking processed orange juice.

Speaking of sugar and water, check out...

Today I have a story that, as a coach, baffles me a little.

But first, ever wonder what to eat before a workout?

A good pre-workout meal should meet the following requirements:

• Easily digestible
• Enters your bloodstream rapidly
• Doesn’t cause...

We're in a time right now that's going to test a lot of people.

Many over-40 men & women are in panic mode and many are paralyzed with fear and doing nothing to stay healthy and strong.

Not everybody, but many are doing nothing to improve...

With so many folks claiming that there is "no time" for exercise, I figured it was appropriate to address the “elephant” hanging out in the back of the room:
