Proud doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about @_digitaldude … witnessing his journey and coaching him the last 1.5 years has been my honor. Take time to read a bit of his story…
“Before working with Jen, I felt incapable of achieving my goals. I’d start for a month, then slide right back. I would adjust my goals before I’d adjust my lifestyle, and I had zero awareness of that fact. I was numbing myself with alcohol and cannabis to ignore the gap between the man I was and the man I wanted to be. I had lost self-confidence and in many ways, self-respect... If I didn’t respect myself enough to honor my word, why would anyone else? As a 42-year-old business owner with three boys under six, I was perpetually tired, my sleep was a disaster, and I felt like a passenger in my own life.
The breaking point? My wife offered my five-year-old a cookie, and he said, “No, I don’t want to be fat like Dad.” My world crumbled. I realized I couldn’t teach my sons to be men of accountability if I didn’t have any myself. Something needed to change...
It wasn’t easy. For the first five months, I clung to my old ways. The real change only happened when I finally “emptied my cup” and let go of my ego. I realized that wanting something and doing what is necessary to get it are two different worlds. I went from cutting corners and skipping sets to pushing my limits.
Today, I’m ~40 pounds lighter (220 to 178) and a whole heck of a lot stronger! But the physical part is just the tip of the iceberg. I’m a better husband, a better father, and a better businessman. I have self-respect. I take ownership. Most importantly, my boys now join me in the gym because they want to “work out like Dad.”
Before Jen, my shoulders were so screwed up I couldn’t lift 10 lbs over my head. Now? I’m pressing 185.
If you’re wondering whether you are worth the investment and if you can actually achieve your goals, know that you are and you can. Jen doesn’t just train a body; she understands the whole person. Just do it.”

I was born in a small town… Raised in the same small town… Went to college in a small town… And still live in the country.
I’ve been so lucky to travel the world… including spending time in some of the world‘s largest cities… I always feel slightly anxious/scared in traffic, sky scrapers and in big crowds.
But get me on a mountain trail… Driving to tractor… Planting a garden… Building fence… Throwing a line in… Tracking big game… Skinny dipping in a mountain stream… I’ll never be more comfortable/happy.

Flexibility and mobility are not the same thing.
Flexibility is the passive ability of a muscle to stretch… Mobility is the active ability to move a joint through its full range of motion with strength and stability.
Having flexibility and mobility in your weekly program is crucial to staying in injury, free and for longevity in sport and life.

We’ve been “playing chase” since the day we met. Literally… up and down mountains, in workouts, around trails… and these crazy hard tire drags! 🤪
Today… he got me!
I’ll say it ‘til I’m blue in the face… find a life partner that challenges you, values their (and your) health and makes you laugh. The rest kinda falls in place.
Tag the person you love playing chase with. 💜

Seems pretty self-explanatory to me! Need any more convincing?
Get lifting y’all! Comment STRONG or send me a DM if you’re interested in a 3 month strength program.

Prove yourself wrong!
Some days you need to listen when it’s time to slow down and sometimes you just need to start and prove yourself wrong.
You have control of your mindset… remember that!
1. Just start… see what happens.
2. Your body will do more than you think it can.
3. Scores are relative.

It’s times like these you learn to live again!
So thankful for another FPM camp in the books with outstanding humans we get to now call friends.

Happy Mother’s Day to this knockout!
Thanks for paving the way momma. For showing me what it is to be a strong woman. One who cares for others AND for herself. One who is independent AND asks for help. One who works hard AND lets her hair down. One who dances to the music, laughs so hard it hurts and isn’t afraid to try new things. I love you to the moon. 🌙 💜💃

Stop listening to all the noise and keep it simple.
Fitness has been over-complicated when 99% of us just need to do the following to reach our goals.
- STRENGTH TRAIN (lift heavy shit): 2 days for each muscle group will get your results. Use a type of progressive overload with the SAME exercises instead of bouncing around.
2. SPRINT: this might be running, but it also could be rowing, biking, jump rope, burpees, high knees, sled pushes… just push really hard for a short amount of time (10-30sec and rest 30-90sec) a couple of times per week.
3. WALK: Every day! This may be the most underrated form of exercise that most people are missing. Shoot for 7-10k steps per day. Maybe you want to make this a slow jog or hike based on your fitness level. Adjust to bike or swim if unable (or don’t want) to run.
4. DO MOBILITY: this can be any combo of stretching, myo-fascial release, controlled joint articulations, yoga, massage, scraping, voodoo flossing. Do something daily to care for the joints and muscles you want to perform.
It’s really that simple. Now save this and tag or share with your friend that needs to hear this too.

This guy though… 💜
It’s not a special anniversary or a birthday or anything… it’s just a random Wednesday that we chose to take an hour to go for a bike ride date together.
I’m confident that through all the ups and downs in the last almost 19 years together… making most of our “dates” about being active and adventuring (no matter how big or small) has made it work. It’s rare we don’t get out on a trail or mountain or ski ride or workout at least 3-4 times a week together. It is our therapy.
@marcus_brown_ I choose you… today, tomorrow and everyday after.

Yes… a caloric deficit is needed to lose weight.
No… it’s not the whole story.
We cannot be chronically underfed and expect our bodies to change.
A chronic caloric deficit slows metabolism (less muscle, less energy, energy conservation, etc). A slower metabolism makes it harder to lose weight.
Looking for some help figuring this all out for yourself? Shoot me a DM and let’s chat! I have room for 2 more clients.

The best program is only as good as the person who will do it.
There is not one right way to program… But for sure a wrong way is to have a perfect program and not do it.
