I love a good, inspirational story. Tell me a good story and you have my attention, 100%. I use to love watching Sportscenter on ESPN. It was the greatest compilation of sports stories from the previous day and recent history. The structure of each episode was almost the same each day. The first 30-40 minutes […]

“What do you do?” I never liked that question. Who you are is not what you do. What you “do” is not defined by the way you accumulate money. You can “do” millions of things that never put a dollar in your pocket, but ultimately define who you are. Pairing the thing you love to […]

My career as a CrossFit competitor is over…before it even started. Why? you ask. Because I now have two kids. I didn’t have the kids myself, my wife did. But those two free-loaders are now my responsibility to take care of. There’s no questions that “Dad” is my most important occupation. I’m not trying to […]

Does this sound familiar? You wake up on a Monday morning, and don’t really feel like going to the gym. You have a busy week of work ahead of you, and could benefit from getting a head start by going straight to the office. Your kids kept you up last night, and now they need […]

Why Breakfast is Not the Most Important Meal of the Day. And My Take On Bulletproof Coffee.
Posted on 05. Nov, 2015 by Andrew Frezza.
I disagree with the notion that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Or at least I disagree with the conventional wisdom that you need to fill up on high carb foods like cereal, granola, oats, yogurt, milk, fruit/fruit juice, pancakes, waffles, and muffins first thing in the morning in order to provide […]
