There is nothing more difficult than trying to deal with a person who will never admit they are wrong. Â If you've ever worked with such a person, or heaven forbid tried to date one, you know what I mean. Â Life is hard, and it's inevitable that we will make mistakes. Â No one is perfect, and [...]
Some may disagree with me, but it seems to me that our society is debating a general philosphy of direction. Â Is life about expansion or contraction? I try to live my life in a way that I am always expanding. Â I try to be open to new ideas, new experiences, and also to keep doing [...]
We have an ironic phrase in the gym for those times when we have to speak to someone about their gym etiquette. Â Normally our philosophy is just to leave everyone alone, but occasionally someone will do something which not only impedes OUR workout, but everyone else's as well. Â That's when my workout partner or I [...]
I recently saw the wonderful movie "The Iron Lady." Â We wanted to see it because we are big fans of Meryl Streep and wanted to see her Academy Award winning performance. Â She was brilliant, as always, though as Lee says, we like her so much that we could watch her read the phone book and [...]

 Once again, an attempt to do something helpful has gotten people in an uproar.  It seems that in this world we live in, this happens more often than not.  Today there was an interesting article in the Orlando Sentinel (click HERE to see the article) about a new exhibit at Epcot at Walt [...]
There is a current trend in fitness of group cross-training sessions. Â Participants travel quickly from station to station performing a series of exercises. Â The quick movement between sets keeps the heart-rate up, thus creating an environment to reduce fat and build strength and stamina at the same time.

I wanted to make sure and share this photo collage that has been making the rounds on Facebook lately. Â I actually think that the person that created this really has it spot on! So much in life is about how we perceive things, our point of view, and we must accept the fact that everyone [...]
Sometimes I wonder what it will take to convince people to get to the gym. Â As we all get older, we need to "keep moving" and include resistance exercise into our fitness regime to stay healthy and feel better. Â Numerous studies have proven that workouts, along with some sort of cardio fitness, have tremendous benefits [...]
