I love to discuss a variety of different ideas on fitness in the blogs. Some I agree with, some I don’t, but explain why and some are interesting concepts that make me stop and think. Intermittent fasting is on the cusp of agreement and interesting for a variety of reasons AND depending how it’s done. […]
I’ve recently heard one of my clients talk about their aunt, touting how mentally sharp she was for her age. It seemed to assume that the older you get, the more you “dumb down.” While you might think it’s true, it’s not the number of years you live that determine your mental sharpness or a […]
There’s a lot of talk about the dangers of taking too many NSAIDs. NSAIDs—nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs—include a long list of drugs, but the best known are probably aspirin, ibuprofen, celecoxib, naproxen and oxaprozin, although there are several more.

It also helps improve fitness in all areas, strength, endurance, flexibility and balance. It’s the perfect functional fitness workout that can get results in a far shorter period of […]
There’s a lot of discussion and disagreement about the beneficial effects of exercise on your vision. Even though the jury is still out about whether it has a direct effect on near and far sightedness. Some say exercising, other than those for the eye itself, has no effect on your vision when it comes to […]
Unusual but amazing workouts can renew your interest in working out and help you get into shape while having a blast. Imagine walking your dog, while cross country skiing at the same time. It’s called Skijoring and there’s even races. While the dog does some of the work, having a harness and straps to pull […]
The biggest cause of fitness program failure is quitting it before success was achieved. You need to identify how to stay motivated, once you’ve created your goals and the plan to achieve them. As a trainer, I find that most people want instant results and after the first few weeks, their enthusiasm and desire seem […]
