My favorite part of playing MLB was preparing for the season. I did traditional weight training, but my repertoire also included early morning swims in the Pacific, pickup hoops, football and much more. Sprinkle that with my love for quality, flavorful food and a passion for how nutrition affects performance and you’ve got a man devoted to the manifestation of supreme health and well being.
Over the course of my baseball career and since, my teammates and loved ones have asked me about my training and eating habits. I’ve doled out single servings of counsel and had some follow up therapy sessions with my peeps, but I have always desired a more universal platform to share the culinary creations and deliciously challenging training sessions currently inspiring me.
So here we are. On this blog, I’ll share what’s working for me, what’s not and what might work for you. I’ll pass along tidbits from what I read and learn from pro athletes, current and former. I’ll write often in an effort to fully connect with you.
One thing I know is that depriving yourself of reckless indulgences isn’t advised. Balance between pleasure and pain is essential to peace of mind and body; we can walk that line together.
Essentially, we can explore this world of sensory pleasures and burning muscles together as a team. Join me and let’s find health, strength, fitness and balance.

Huge fan. Been following you since the sox days. Your a great influence. More people should follow your wisdom.

As someone who has attempted to maintain a healthy lifestyle and is now in my older years (62), I’m curious to see how your advice and example can be transferred to an older person. I recognize that much of the fitness guidance (like the song) remains the same for all, I’m also seeing that certain concessions must be made with age (recovery periods, losing the “bounce,” diet changes, etc.) and am interested in how you and others adapt (gracefully!). Happy New Year!

I have lost 41 pounds in the last year through diet and exercise. I am excited to have found your bluff and look forward to the inspiration.

Thank you Gabe!

Gabe, thank you for sharing your health & fitness practices with the world at large. As a Red Sox fan I had the opp to admire you for several years and marvel at your physique – Praxiteles would have loved you for a model. I’ve just had ACL replacement in both knees, ready to rebound and recover my healthy active trim body, looking forward to feasting on your insights. Snaps to Millar for retweeting you!
Gary says
Wow! I just found this web site, I have 26 pages of catching (see what I did there) up to do.
