As we wrap up Movember (men’s health awareness month) I wanted to caution guys who are overweight not to begin their weight loss program with running. I am not saying they should never run, just get your body more prepared for it by cleaning up your nutrition and doing other types of exercise first.

Be thankful, it’s good for your health
This Thanksgiving I am not giving the usual advice I normally do about eating, drinking, etc. Nope, this year I am just urging people to make the most of the holidays with the people they love. Be grateful for what you have where you live (you could live in a war zone), what you have (youContinue reading “Be thankful, it’s good for your health”

Squatting for lifelong independence
Let me be very blunt, if you cannot get up out of a chair or off the toilet by yourself, you are no longer physically independent. Talk to anyone who works in health care, especially with the elderly and you will see what I mean. The best way to avoid that as you get olderContinue reading “Squatting for lifelong independence”
