“BACK TO FORM” FITNESS

When I was a kid playing sports, I would, like most kids, have endless excuses to why I didn’t perform well, or why I lost on a particular day. Kids want to impress their parents, coaches and friends all of the time, so the natural defense mechanism is to make up excuses. “My arm hurt,” […]

 
I found mine when I was 10 years old, I think. Every time I hear the music, I drift into a memory of me, in my basement, doing 100s of sit-ups, push-ups and shoulder raises. I would follow those up with 20 minutes of jump roping and then off to hit my speed bag. I […]

One of the biggest problems that people have with fitness is getting started. For some it has been months and others years since they did anything remotely fitness related.

 In the last article I talked about how to identify three common hip issues. Hopefully these tests helped many readers better examine their own problem areas around the hip. In this installment, I am going to give you a few “fixes” for those common hip problems and also some preventive exercises as well.

 The hip complex is one of the most important and under-trained areas on the body. With that said, it is one of the most important areas for everyone to train. Low back problems and knee problems are the biggest areas of pain and dysfunction that I have dealt with in most of my years working […]

 As I was driving back to work from my lunch break a few days ago, I noticed something about three blocks ahead of me, in the distance, in the middle of the road. As I got closer, I saw an extremely large, obese man attempting to cross the street. Naturally, I slowed down so I […]

 
“We are a product of our habits, and all of mine are bad!”- K.M.
