Well, this is the final post for Movember. As with most things pertaining to improving the health of men, many guys will ignore it, unless it pertains to getting 6-pack abs without doing any hard work or dating a woman 1/2 their age. That is to their own detriment, which they will probably regret laterContinue reading “Closing thoughts on men’s health awareness month (Movember)”

If you are overweight, don’t start off by running to lose weight
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.
