Religion or perspective?

Sitting at age 26 having been born in the Christian heavy south, now living in a city coined "Sin City" I often ponder, what's this power or inner strength I've seen other draw from and change their lives or endure endless hardships with a smile.
Someone like myself approaches the uncertainties that lie in my everyday life with blind faith. Faith in that doing things a certain way over time will wield a worthy result. The old keeping your head up and your eyes open. Being an opportunist is something I identify with.
All this can seem very similar to someone that places their trust in a higher power. But I have faith in myself and my ability to continously be moving forward.
If you consider yourself a religious individual please feel free to share within your own reasoning how it is you trust where your faith is placed. Is it the need to know there is something after death. Is it something that you feel lifts you up?
There is no wrong ideology as long as the is reason.

I want a beach body

So you want to transform your physique. You want to know exactly what it takes to get the desired results you want? What separates slim Jims from gym rats? A lot is published on routines, sets, reps, new exercises, diets, supplements and the blogs are filled with information on proper steroid dosages.

I want to take a moment to touch on training philosophy. What mental approach should be taken when one decides to embark on the journey of fitness. Like anything, picking a major for college, making a move to a different city, dropping a habit. It all starts upstairs.

Positive thinking when combine with rational thinking I feel can be quite powerful when one is pursing goals. First you have to believe in yourself and then you have to be able to put all that goes with accomplishing something into perspective. Does my lifestyle currently support me to where I want to be, am I willing to be patient and be consistent.

Perseverance is what usually separates the heard. Life will be life and throw unknown obstacles your way. If your like many who have recently got into fitness and feel it working for you only to have more than you can handle thrown in your lap. Well just remember this at the end of the day. The better you take care of yourself, the better equipped you'll be for life.

Getting back more to the mental state when approaching training, do your remember the advice of taking "baby steps"? It might not seem like the gym is the best place to take this to heart, but I can assure you we all did at some point.

There is a huge mistake novice lifters make that can come back to bite you in the ass years down the line and unless you don't plan on living 10-15 years down the road then pay attention. Leave your ego at the door when going to the gym or exercise class or whatever it is that your doing to start your fitness journey.

One of the easiest ways to get turned away from fitness is to hurt yourself. The first couple months spent in the gym should be on learning techniques, proper breathing, stretching (making sure you have full range of motion in your joints), and preparing your body for an active lifestyle. This mentally takes a lot of patience as you'll see people in there looking amazing, doing amazing things and you think that's the only way you'll get there as well. If that thought ever creeps into your best just stop and remind your self, it will all come with time, dedication, and patience.

Lastly, taking the time to learn your body is very crucial, you don't need to take a college course, but just simply learning what major muscles are doing what at any given point during an exercise can vastly make your time in the gym more efficient. And just realize that on your way too transforming your body, it's your only body. If ensuring can't be accomplished in time for one summer or reunion, conference or whatever it is, don't panic. Take your time, because once you achieve your goals, even if it took 5 years. Remember it could of went the extreme other way within that 5 year time span

Pushing forward

To all my fans and admires,


I can't thank you enough for all your support over the past few years. Currently I'm in the process of getting things together and ready to start shooting my own private content which will be made available for purchase directly through my website at a killer deal, no subscription will be necessary as the site launches but maybe an option in the future as my library of content builds over time.

Something I'd like to ask of everyone is some things I could use some help with along the way, first off models. If anyone near the Vegas area is interested in being in a scene with me please vist my home page www.jaxtonwheeler.com and fill out a form with "Model" in the subject line and your performance info (stats, gay/bi/straight/ positions and fetishes)

I also am looking to design a mobile app for my website to list in the Google Play Store. If anyone can assist me or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. If anyone would like to assist me with my social media management, I need to start building a team for the future.

Rock HARD Di.... body

So I've been lifting for over half my life, since I was 12, now I'm 26, do the math and you get 14 years. During what you could call my fitness career I've gone through most types of training and have experience them at a very high level. My goals are never small and not for the faint of heart, so while I've gone through my bumps and bruises over the years its gained me a since of guruism and a yearning to share practices that work.

One think about your body in this sense, your heart pumps the blood through your body and the blood transports all the vital nutrients we need to each muscle, ect. So the first thing we need to make sure of when approaching any workout program is that we are in the right cardiovascular shape that will allow us to 1) not stress the heart to the point of an attack or stroke and 2) work towards our fitness goals at a progressive pace.

Another thing you should consider is your diet, its not just eat good and look good, there are reasons for eating healthy and why it translates to feeling, looking and being better period.
Think of your body or your digestive system like an engine. If you have self worth then think of your engine of that of a Porsche or any other high end vehicle.
When you eat fast foods, processed foods, foods with high amounts of salt, foods made with high amounts of simple sugars, carbonated beverages, and such what your doing is putting shitty fuel into your one and only engine. Over time, sludge builds up (compacted food that gets stuck to your intestinal walls because your body doesn't have the enzymes to properly and timely get rid of the artificial waste you've put into it.) Once this starts happening that once amazing engine starts getting bogged down, you get head aches from decaying food in your digestive track. Your body can't properly digest the good food you eat so it become malnourished.
Another things to consider is where your getting all your nutrients from, a salad alone is a horrible thing, add different colored peppers, heirloom tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, some strong cheese and now you have quite to filling and healthy snack or meal. Also don't eat till your full and be cautious of how much energy you actually plan on expending that day. If its a lazy day, eat less, don't just eat because its your scheduled time to, sometimes all you need is a real small meal and something productive to do. If your still hungry wash it down with a good amount of water.
Another thing to consider is how much water you take in on a regular basis, know where you live, what is the weather like dry? humid, these all effect how much your body needs to operate at a functional level. Think of water like the fluids in your car as well as the lube between the gears, not enough and things won't rub right and you may over heat.

Taking those three things into consideration or even bringing it to mind can help you start making lifestyle changes that will lead to a better, healthier you. All we can do is make one choice at a time, I hope in reading this that if I can help even a few people start becoming more aware of things that matter when it comes to taking care of themselves I consider this blog not wasted in effort or time

I cook too!!!!

Part of being healthy, fit, trim and constantly active is knowing how to cook for yourself.
I've done endless amounts of shakes, played with different diets where one food group was to focus over others and now as I'm hitting my prime, it's all about portions, balance and self control.

So yesterday it was a long day, too many things to do too little time, but one of the things I always make time for is good dinner prep. I keep my home stocked with various food items, so I can always throw some healthy and filling together.

Yesterday's dish "Skinny Greek Yogurt Chicken" freaking delicious, very little prep time and was done in under an hour, boom. I got the recipe from a blogger www.lifeofmeg.com
It called for
1 cup Greek Yogurt (I bought 0% Fage)
4 Chicken breast
2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese

I added more of everything since I prepped 6 chicken breast

Now to stay healthy, anything that is dairy based try and get the 0% fat if you can, as far as Parmesan cheese goes, most grocery stores carry a reduced fat version. Then on your chicken breast its always a good idea to hand trim the excess fat.

To go along with the chicken, I recently met quite an intelligent and healthy man who turned me onto Quinoa, red quinoa to be exact. I buy it at Trader Joes and I have to say it's been a pleasant edition to my diet, it's also considered to be a super food see the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa

Like rice and other grains that require stove top cooking, everyone has their own way of making quinoa.

I use
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup of red quinoa
1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
1/2 cup yellow onion
1/2 mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil

bring the broth to a boil, poor in the quinoa let it simmer for 15-20 minutes lid on *DO NOT REMOVE LID UNLESS ITS BURNING AND MORE LIQUID IS NEEDED*
On the side cut n dice the onion and mushrooms then pan fry with olive oil
*add salt n pepper if you chose
Drain quinoa of any excess liquid
Add the onion, mushroom, and parmesan once quinoa has fully absorbed the liquid

You should be able to see little white sprouts if the quinoa has absorbed enough liquid

Finally a nice salad to give your body the macro nutrients it needs

I eat the chicken and quinoa in small portion, each maybe the size of my fist
Its the greens and colored vegetables your body needs, and its also part of keeping a healthy digestive system.

My salads are made in a big salad bowl and consist hugely of Hearts of romaine lettuce, sweet peppers, heirloom tomatoes and shredded carrots

2 Hearts of romaine lettuce
3 Sweet peppers
4 heirloom tomatoes
handful of shredded carrots
handful of sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup fat free feta cheese or gouda
1/2 cup coconut shredded cashews

Whatever you chose for a dressing to keep it healthy three things to consider, Calories, Fat from Calories and Sodium levels. High intake of sodium can lead to excess water retention which leaves you looking soft and bloated.
