"First the music then the dance". It may take a few private lessons to distinguish one rhythm from another, but dancing on time to the beat of the drum is really what it’s all about. Hopefully you enjoy music. It will make the arduous process a lot more fun and how exciting to learn that your favorite song is a Cha Cha or Foxtrot! It truly opens up a new world of music appreciation.

Proper nutrition forms the foundation for every cell, and good performance is dependent on the integrity of our entire cellular matrix. Recognizing this principle is a tenet of sports nutrition. The human body is capable of amazing feats of strength, stamina and flexibility, but it's always susceptible to mental and physical fatigue, burnout, and injury.

Here's an interesting observation. Not one rule book on any sport in the world states that the object of the game is to "win". For example, the official 2009-2011 rule book of USA Hockey states the following, "The goal of USA Hockey is to promote a safe and positive playing environment for all participants while continuing to focus on skill development and enjoyment of the sport."

A is for Action, the third and final step in my three step personal plan for success. Without action nothing gets done. Action completes the sequence. It's what separates the wheat from the chaff. We can dream and think till the cows come home, but in the final analysis the work has to be done.

A biologically and genomically superior human food guide alternative to the Canada Food Guide and the USDA Food Pyramid (MyPlate)

For many years now the Canadian Health Food Industry has been urging all of us to increase our intake of omega-3 fatty acids (linolenic acid, EPA & DHA) — either through consuming more fish, Krill, wild game and deep green leafy vegetables, and/or by using the fresh organic seed oils of flax (linseed), hemp, soy, pumpkin, walnut, chia, kukui and canola.

The best diet in the world cannot get you in shape or prevent the loss of muscle mass caused by sedentary living (sarcopenia). By itself, whole organic food cannot raise your vital capacity, preserve bone mass, strengthen your biceps or save your neuromuscular system from premature degeneration. YOU MUST EXERCISE and you must do it right.

I love eggs. Poached or fried (stirred and wet) with a touch of ghee and a dash of fresh ground pepper. Four large whole eggs a day. The exception is when I'm preparing for a bodybuilding competition. Then it's no egg yolks and a low fat focus for 100 days out to squeeze my bodyfat down to less than 5 percent. This rule applies to anyone who would like to reduce bodyfat.
