What I learned about exercise and weight loss recently.
Hey there, I just got back from teaching up in Portland this past weekend and I started to talk about a presentation I attended in January about exercise and weight loss. It sparked so much interest that I decided to write a blog about it and share the resources I have so you can investigate for […]

Project John Begins!
So, I’ve been working on JGFIT TV for quite a while now, and came to a realization yesterday that I want to up my game and look and feel much better. It was after reviewing some footage for a Connect the Dots episode. “Yikes!” I said (and maybe a few other words as well). […]
