So, since I put my fitness transformation out the world I’ve been getting a LOT (huge understatement) of questions (literally getting close to a thousand) ranging from the funny “Did you photoshop the fitness photo?” to the more practical such as “What the heck did you eat?” or “Can you share some fitness/tips/insights, etc.?”\

(NOTE: Before anyone freaks out, business content isn’t going anywhere. RISE Fitness is on top of…not replacing what you are used to on the site which is interviews, tips and more designed for mediapreneurs/bloggers/Internet Marketers. Cool?)

Beyond the ego boost of so many nice comments (and thanks for all the kind words, you have me so pumped up that sometimes I just high-five random people walking … Read More »

So, super exciting news today and a “preview” of sorts. I’ve gotten a MASSIVE (I don’t know which word I can use that is more than that…but if there was a word, I’d use it) amount of emails/questions about health and fitness since my recent transformation. Soon, The Rise To The Top Fitness will officially launch (it will be a new site) to help you. But, I figured why not have some amazing fitness conversations on the show right now? Enter today’s guest, Lori Harder, who is the Ms. Bikini Universe 2010 Overall Champion and on the cover of this month’s Oxygen Magazine (and she’s an overall incredible person).

A little bit different today on the show (and note that this was shot one day before my photo shoot, and photos and a BIG blog post are on its way).

I believe most of you know (probably through my big mouth) that I’ve been going through a massive body … Read More »

Three months ago, I decided to take on a massive personal challenge to get into fitness model shape in 90 days and here are the results in picture form:

My goal in this article is a few things:

#1: Share the story with you as I’m proud of it.

#2: More importantly, I hope it inspires you to make some kind of change or try something that you have always wanted to try. Maybe it is a personal transformation you are looking to make. Or maybe it is a business transformation. Whatever it might be, I think you will find a lot of insights and ideas from my … Read More »
