Don’t neglect to stretch
Posted in Exercise, Fitness, Food, General, HealthWhen I was younger all I cared about was burning calories and weight control. Aging has taught me many things about priorities. Now my goal is first to feel good. Instead of eating to maintain weight, my number one objective is to eat to maintain optimal health. I don’t believe any one diet can give […]
Body Composition
Posted in Exercise, Fitness, Food, GeneralBody composition and body weight have different value. A person could be thin but still have an unhealthy amount of fat because they don’t have a good percentage of muscle. Muscle is healthy tissue. Using resistance training is a great way to build muscle mass. There are numerous exercises that can be done to create […]
Benefits of a well balanced life
Posted in Exercise, Fitness, Food, General, Health, NutritionThe benefits of eating well and exercising regularly and getting rest far outweigh the alternatives.

There will always be people who have either more skill or a different spin on what you and I are already an “expert” at! Yesterday I attended a PiYo LIVE certification, part of the Beach Body Family of […]
Valentine’s Day
Posted in Exercise, Fitness, Food, General, Health, NutritionI believe most people love to have a reason to celebrate. Valentine’s Day for many means a card, box of candy and or a dinner out including alcohol and dessert. Sometimes we need to make an effort to make new traditions and habits. I am firm believer that we should be able to enjoy some […]
