I just got back from 2 weeks in Italy — and here’s the wild part: I ate pizza, pasta, bread, gelato almost every day… yet I came home leaner. Sounds backwards, right? But here’s what I noticed: - Walking – We walked everywhere. Easily 15–20k steps a day. Movement after meals was normal, not forced. - Stress – The pace of life was slower. Italians take time to eat, relax, and enjoy. Lower stress = better digestion and recovery. - Food quality – The bread, pasta, and even gelato felt lighter. Less processed, fewer additives, and probably higher nutrient density. - So here’s the big takeaway 👉 carbs aren’t the enemy. It’s usually lifestyle, movement, and stress that make the biggest difference. I’d love to hear your thoughts: - Do you notice you feel better when you walk after meals? - Has anyone experienced a similar situation? - How do you manage stress around training, eating, and life?

When traveling, the goal of a workout isn’t to build strength, power, or speed. (Don’t get me wrong you certainly can still build while traveling). But for most, it’s difficult to find the time and stay on the regimented program when on the road. So, what I prefer instead for myself, and those that I work with, is to perform a quick full body workout. Bodyweight or even light weight is fine. Cycle through basic exercises for 20-30 min. Keep the weight low and rest short. Something like⬇️ 10 min AMRAP 10 x Push-ups 10 x V-ups 10e x Lunge Jumps 10 x Russian Twists (2-5 min Rest) 10 min AMRAP 20 x Crawl Shoulder Taps 10e x Lateral Lunge 10e x Side Plank Hip Lifts 30 x Mountain Climbers OR For those where body weight isn’t enough… 4 Sets 10 x DB Bench 10 x DB RDL 4 Sets 10 x Goblet Squat 10e x Tripod Row 4 Sets 12 x Hanging Knee Raise 24 x Russian Twists

Good morning athletes! Wanted to share this mobility move to loosen up your t-spine and help combat desk/forward “C” posture. Even if your sport doesn’t require rotation, you’ll still benefit from this mobility move. It’s cool because the side bend creates space between your spine and allows you to rotate even further. Try it out before your workout, before a round of golf, or just throughout your day. Have a great week👊
