When Keith popped in at The BodyForge, I started talking as I always seem to do. I talked about nutrition and training and motivation and life. Yes, I am incredibly passionate about it. It's who I am. And Keith listened. And listened deeply. I never really notice it as this is a normal day for me but I am so blessed to be able to give such a gift to people simply by talking to them. And to be able to inspire someone who inspires others is just as good as it gets. It’s a pleasure … [Read more...] about SHARPSHOOTER

HOW TO BUILD A SUPERMUM
One day, Michael, one of my long term Re-Inventees, brought his mum Carmen along with him to The Forge. “Don, I want you to help my Mum out. She needs to become fit again. I’m worried about her.

THE REAL REASON WHY YOU’LL NEVER FIND TIME
A little while ago, Mark popped in to see me. And it wasn’t pretty. He was about 25 kg overweight, had high blood pressure and was a Type II diabetic to boot. And the man is barely 30 years old. He couldn’t walk up a flight of steps without wheezing, has a sedentary job where he is basically sitting all day and a young family to take care of. This guy is a prime candidate for a heart attack or a stroke in the next few years. The scary part is that there are so many people out there … [Read more...] about THE REAL REASON WHY YOU’LL NEVER FIND TIME
