Just because winter is here, that doesn’t mean that you should let your body get soft. You might be covering up now with bundles of warmer clothes, but let’s try and stay optimistic that spring won’t take too long here and if you stay in shape you’ll be very glad you did.

I used to be better at the whole stretching thing [...]

I don’t know about you, but I know that I have fallen for a lot of the advertising about energy drinks. I find that I not only have tried them to boost me before or after a workout, but I find that when I am looking for a “kick” midday I might crack one open. [...]

I much prefer working out in the great outdoors. But, in some parts of the country, like the part I live in, this becomes much more difficult at this time of the year. Staying motivated to lace up my running shoes and hit the streets when it’s cold and rainy is not easy. Never mind [...]
