Julian has officially been home for a week, and Lisa and I have officially turned into zombies. I’m not complaining, though. I recognize lack of sleep is what every (new) parent must endure and understand it’s a right of passage.
Doesn’t make it any less sucky mind you. I feel like I got hit over the head with a bag of dicks.
Enough about dicks, lets get to this week’s list shall we?
Stuff to Check Out Before You Read Stuff
1. Latest article up on MensHealth.com
Half the reason most peoples skip their warm-up prior to training is because most take way too long Here’s the “perfect” warm-up done in just five moves….HERE.
2. Early bird registration for the Online Trainer Academy is now open.
I started doing online training back in 2005 before it was a thing. I had no idea what the hell I was doing back then. All I had was an Excel spreadsheet template to write programs on and a flip phone. One of my most vivid memories is when my then ex-girlfriend thought it was weird that I had all these pictures of half-naked people on my computer.
Pffffft, whatever.
Nevertheless, today, online training is a big deal. If you’re someone who’s thinking about it, but having a hard time developing the systems to make it a viable way to make money this is definitely something you should considering investing in.
You can take advantage of the early-bird registration and receive $200 off the regular price. Check it out HERE.
