Shew. At the first of December I announced Who Wants To Be King? -- a new program intended to let me get back on track to hitting my fitness goals before the New Year, New Me people hit the scene.

Hey! Anybody remember Mount Crushmore? If you're late to this party, Mount Crushmore was a program I made back in March where I brought my readers through 12 weeks of workouts and meal plans.

It's the penultimate week of the program so I'm buckled in to shoot for a big finish!

Over the course of the next few weeks, I intend to highlight … Continue reading JTF’s Mount Crushmore, Week 9
Tired. Sore. Sunburned. That's been the response in my head for the last two days when people ask how I'm doing. Friday's workout did a number on me, I halfway messed up my shoulder in MMA last week. Some freak in Brazil compromised my bank card and spent $3,200 I didn't have, leaving me with … Continue reading JTF’s Mount Crushmore, Week 8
We're on the downhill, guys! Ultimately last week was a good week. I started with a new client, had a spa day, cooked an unreal dinner on Saturday night, had another extremely challenging MMA class on Sunday and spent some quality family time with Cara's folks to celebrate Mother's Day. On the downside, however, I … Continue reading JTF’s Mount Crushmore, Week 7
As the fifth week of JTF's Mount Crushmore begins, so does a new meal plan. I want to start it by referencing a topic one of my favorite online trainers James Smith said in an email this week. After a brief tour in the States, the Australian-native trainer discussed how much he's looking forward to … Continue reading JTF’s Mount Crushmore Meal Plan: Week 5

Did you read my post about Calories yet? If not, give it a go. I'll wait here. If you already did, then I need to ask you ... Are you just getting started with your weight loss/gain goals?
