Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday of the year. It’s the one time of year I normally get together with my extended family, we eat until we can’t think (thank goodness for elastic waistbands), laugh until we cry and just have the best time. Before my grandmother passed away a few years ago, we always […]
Do you meditate? If not, it might be something you want to at least consider. Before you walk away, hear me out. You may have some reservations about it, I understand. I was once warned of it’s 'dangers' many moons ago, but as it turns out, those warnings were a bit misguided. I think the […]
I’m a fan of crawling. If you’ve read any of my books or seen many of my movement videos, you have probably guessed that. But there is a good reason to see the beauty in that childish movement because it is literally the miracle movement. It ties all of you together, all of you, spirit, […]
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing” -George Bernard Shaw When was the last time you TRULY PLAYED? I have observed that many adults have simply forgotten how to play, or they don’t value it. This is especially evident in the gym. Adults seem to […]
Have you ever learned a huge lesson but it didn’t “take” at the time? I once learned a valuable lesson, one that I should have altered my life from, but I allowed my habits to overcome the lesson I slipped back into my ways of doing things. Here’s what I mean… I use my phone’s […]
Oh, hi there, I'm Coach Laura from OSi and like many people around the world right now, I’m at home. My entire family has been home, roughly, for almost 7 weeks. I’ve cooked a zillion meals, done more dishes than I want to think about, and plenty of other repetitive tasks I don’t exactly enjoy […]
Hey guys, Coach Jamey here! I you have taken one of my Reset and Restore classes before at OS Institute or tried out one of my Reset and Restore videos in the video library, you know that I talk a lot about checking in with yourself. Today I want to dive a little deeper into […]
While Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday may have already passed, tacos still remain a bright spot in our current times and we're going to keep riding the taco train. And we just happen to have a foodie friend and taco lover (guest contributor, Kathleen) here to drop some recipe goodness. Gone are the […]
Thousands of years ago, people could be found swinging various club-like items for physical and mental fitness in preparation for battle (and maybe for a little fun too). Today, club training is still a fixture in the training of wrestlers in both Iran and India. From ancient Persia, to India, to Europe (including the […]
You may not know this, but this week something pretty cool is happening at Original Strength Institute. We've been challenging people to step up to the plate and see if they are ready to take their training up a notch. We challenge them with the Becoming Bulletproof Test. OS Institute co-owner and my good […]
One of my favorite combos is coconut and almond. The salty, nutty flavor versus the sweet of coconut. My life is always changing and super busy in different ways every week. I am always looking for tasty snacks that help me stay on track. I constantly skim Pinterest and other cooking blogs for new recipes […]
I have been trying to stay on track with nutrition, but sometimes I find it difficult to curb a sweet tooth. I love chocolate of all kinds. It calls to me. Especially chocolate and fruit or chocolate and peanut butter. Two of my favorite combos. This recipe is so versatile you can make it to […]
Super Bowl is right around the corner. It is impossible to watch it without PIZZA! If you don’t want to completely blow your cleaner eating habits, this is the recipe for you: Zucchini crust pizza! I have been making this recipe for a couple of years. The zucchini crust has an amazing flavor and texture, […]
Veggie burgers come in many different styles. I am a meat eater. I love a good Angus beef burger, but there are some days that I don’t want meat. Portabella Veggie Burgers are a great substitution. This recipe has amazing blends of flavor. Worcestershire or Dale’s seasoning brings out the individual flavors of the beans, […]
Tacos!!! Is there anyone who doesn’t love tacos? There are so many options; chicken, shrimp, beef, or a mix. I love throwing chicken in the crock pot with a jar of salsa and 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. It makes a delicious filling for tacos or toppings for nachos, salads, or quinoa. Making your own […]
It’s the time of parties and family gatherings. As a southerner I was told you should never show up empty handed. I have a recipe that will make everyone ask how to make. Buffalo chicken dip is the perfect dish to take to any party. Just heat and go. I have also included a healthier […]
It’s that time of year when everyone is busy with the added holiday bustle. There is always so much to get done before family gatherings and Christmas parties. Breakfast is one of those things for me that gets forgotten or skipped if I am too busy. I have learned if I do not prepare something […]
As an adult one of my favorite vegetables is Brussel sprouts. As a kid I hated them. Everything from the smell to the taste. I didn’t want them, like them, or even want to see them. These days I am singing a different tune. I love them, but only if they are roasted. They are […]
It’s getting cooler at night. Sweaters and sweatshirts are making their way out of closets. Comfort food is a must when I have a day off to relax. That amazing feeling of snuggling under a blanket while watching a movie or enjoying a fire outside while eating a bowl of deliciousness. Deliciousness known as soup. […]
Fall is here and the cooler weather is on its way! Since we usually do not get cooler weather here in the south, until November (or later), I like to make seasonal drinks and foods just to put me in the fall spirit. I love apples. They taste so crisp and fresh in the fall. […]
