Spring workout
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s no newsflash: To create a body that moves energetically and without pain or stiffness AND looks great takes work.
What is new; to understand how to stage your workout program. It doesn’t take skill to just pick up a weight and start moving it.

A dysfunctional movement pattern doesn’t move you closer to your goal. Keep this in mind when starting an exercise program.

Breakfast (post-holidays) for weight loss
Posted by: | CommentsOnce again, Thanksgiving was a feast. Each year, over a hundred thousand Americans overeat during the holiday time. The next day, food is the last thing that many think about. But then there are the leftovers. How about a little pie for breakfast? It is too good to go to waste. And the feast continues.
Weight loss is on many on our minds during this time. But the call to the dinner table wins out over the call to the gym. There we have a dilemma: Too stuffed to workout. Leftovers linger for days. And relaxation and catching up with friends and family is priority number one.
