    Nutrition w/ Crista Lee Luna

    Episode 92. On this episode, we had a chat with our HK nutrition coach. Our topics of conversation led into the plate method, eating intensity versus eating consistency, mindset, habits, food, choices, and how it all affects our mind, body and soul. Krista gives great advice for those just starting and can help those who are in it already. She has a wealth of knowledge in food science and is continuing her education to be the best version of herself to help our 956 community. She’s a real one!

Michael has been with us for a little over a year now and his presence, attitude, energy, and relentless work ethic, are influential to us all. He’s a wealth of knowledge and loves helping people get out of pain. His extensive background in cheerleading and athletic training, have given him the vision for correcting biome mechanics and helping individuals reach full optimization.

    One step at a time.

    Episode 87! On this episode, we speak on different topics, such as navigating nutrition through the holidays, taking small steps…rather than large jumps, and giving our audience some tips on how to enjoy the holidays and not feel restricted . This past year, Coach Rod has also implemented new movements into the program, and we take time to reflect and speak about how this can optimize performance. Happy holidays to all ! #HARDKNOX #GETSTRETCHY #Getcomfortablebeinguncomfortable

    The power of influence w/ Coach G

    Epic conversation with a living legend Gonzalo Garza. We sat down and spoke about the power of influence. Influence is powerful and it can be good or bad. We can get influenced by our parents, our friends, our cousins, we all get influenced at some point in our life. What we do with that influence is ultimately up to us. Create your path. #HARDKNOX #GETSTRETCHY #GETCOMFORTABLEBEINGUNCOMFORTABLE
