A Minimalist Approach to Fitness
Hi my name is Stephen...some people call me Coop. I live in Altadena,CA and like to spend my vacations in Brazil.
I'm a personal trainer/coach and I help people lose fat and get leaner, but without all of the typical fitness hype/sales crap.
My feeling is that exercise is about creating a vibrant and healthy body from which we can live life to the fullest.

This just seems odd to me...
I just saw a guy carrying an empty bottle to one of those purified water stores...but he was smoking away on a cigarette. I guess he doesn't mind polluting his lungs with smoke, but he's gotta have clean water. Who knows?

Can you change the way you live your life?
"The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create."
— Chuck Palahniuk

So what's your secret to being so strong?
So I overheard one "new" boot camper asking a boot camper veteran..."How is it that you are so strong doing theses exercises? You make it look so easy."
The "older" camper said "it's the pre training meal of Tecate and chicken Mc nuggets, that gives me strength".
Note to self...I may need to talk about "proper diet" a little more often to this group.
Note to readers...the older camper was joking. (I hope.)

Wisdom from Hugh MacLeod
Everything I do now professionally begins with the act of gift-giving. You? 1. Figure out what your gift is, and give it to them on a regular basis. 2. Make sure it’s received as a real gift, not as an advertising message. 3. Then figure out exactly what it is that your trail of breadcrumbs leads back to.
