New Look

We have updated the look of this blog.

But the links on the right aren’t updated yet.

They will be, but I wanted to at least get this out to you this today
before I procrastinated and the day got away from me.

Menopause and Aging Survey

I have a quick survey that I would love help with.

If you are experiencing menopause or are beyond the age of 55, would you mind helping?

I am trying to discover the needs and wants within the realm of fitness, functionality and
nutrition in these categories.

I can guess at them answers, but being a 41 year old male, I am sure I am missing some
information that you would provide.

CLICK HERE to fill out the survey.  Thank you for helping!

Keeping It Simple

I had planned to write an article today called, “How Exercise Works”.

It was getting too lengthy and too complicated.

Too many big words that don’t make a difference in how we exercise.

I remember being at a conference several years ago, listening to one of the geniuses in the
training field.  His speech was on the biomechanics of human movement and although fascinating,
quite complicated.

His take-home-point at the end of the speech was that to improve, you simply have to work
on the movements to the best of your ability.

Huh? 

That was it? 

After an hour of listenting to joint angle movements and limiting muscles?

That seminar flashed back to me when I was writing about “How Exercise Works” this
morning and it was boring!

So I scrapped it and decided to write about Keeping It Simple.

If you keep it simple, you are more apt to do it over a longer period of time.

Go for a run. 

How hard?  Well, how hard can you go?  We could quantify THAT.
BUT, how hard are you willing to go?  How far do you have time to go?
Are you willing to do it everyday? 

That is harder to quantify and the much bigger
reason that we do or don’t do something.

It isn’t because we don’t know that we should go, it is simply because often we don’t want to go.

If you keep the formulas as simple as:  Go Do Something Consistently, then quantifying
speed and progress, isn’t necessary.

Skip the equipment, new watch, new shoes or the perfect weather to go.

I could tell you exactly what to do and the best workout to get the best results.
But are you going to show up to do it?

Keep it simple, because THAT is what matters.

Have a GREAT Weekend!
