  • Fitness is a lifestyle, but be sure to have a life outside of it.

    PB2 Review

    Love peanut butter but trying to watch the fat or calories? Is it really possible to get the flavor of peanuts with only 15% of the fat? Sounds too good to be true ... or is it?

Fitness Tip

  • I’ve heard it said that when you are overweight, you feel overwhelmed. I believe that to be true. The physical limitations from being out of shape (less energy, shortness of breath, poor sleep, lack of mobility, etc.) are hard enough by themselves. But these things lead to emotional pressures as well: your fuse is shorter, your ability to make objective decisions is diminished, in fact, the lens in which you look at life is compromised. Bottom line: physical health is inextricably linked to emotional health. Improve one and the other improves by default. But if one is failing, the other will eventually fail as well.

    So remember, getting in shape has benefits far beyond the physical. If you don’t believe me, get in shape and see what happens to your mood, demeanor, and outlook. I guarantee you will walk taller, have more confidence, and more optimism, which by themselves, would make getting fit worth it!

Fitness Equipment

  • Adjustable Dumbbells - Home Fitness Equipment
    Adjustable Dumbbells

    The Bowflex SelectTech adjustable dumbbells are the most important pieces of equipment I own. One set of dumbbells that can range from 2.5 to 52.5 pounds, replacing the need for 15 separate sets. Easy to use. Easy to store.

    If you can only have one piece of equipment, this is the piece to have.

    And with Amazon, you know you'll get a great price and quick shipping!

Testimonials

  • I have insulin resistance and my blood sugar was way high. I knew I had to do something, so when I heard about Matthew, I decided to check it out.  It has helped me tremendously.  In just about 4 months my blood sugar went way down!!  The doctor is happy and so am I.  I also enjoyed doing the 90 Day Fitness Challenge.  It helped me take more responsibility for every area of my life.

  • Vitamix Review: Our Favorite Appliance

    Vitamix. Is it everything they say it is? I'm here to tell you, it's more. This multi-purpose, powerhouse of a machine will not only help get you healthier, you'll be looking for excuses to use it. It's without its flaws, but we wouldn't trade it for 100 pounds of organic kale.
