I have always loved the sweet science of boxing. When I was in high school, Mike Tyson was wreaking havoc in the heavy weight division and it was a sight to see. This was, of course, pre-MMA and Ultimate fighting. A couple of years into college I trained for a short time at an oldContinue reading “Float Like A Butterfly.”

This has been an amazing phenomenon that truly encourages people who normally wouldn’t be out walking, to get to parks, trails, neighborhoods and so forth. I was at Tilles Park this morning and it was crazy with people walking around looking at their phones!

This simply isn’t true. When we exercise, we can be a little more lenient with the diet but food is going to trump exercise every time.

I am one who enjoys it and there is an especially great stretch that goes along the stables. If you are out early in the morning, there are normally many Clydesdales out. This is an awesome sight that makesContinue reading “That Stretch Of Grants Trail By The Stables”

A new study found that out of 150 participants, 75 posted pictures and 75 did not post a picture in workout mode. The 75Continue reading “This Just In!
