"If fitness came in a bottle, everyone would have a great body. Skip the quick fixes; hard work is what ensures lasting results!"

- Denise Austin

Be an Example

Pre-dawn runs, ice baths, the constant, distinct aroma of muscle relieving cream, blackened toenails (and a few that were lost all together), a diet of energy bars, gels and goos, and the oddest tan lines you've ever seen (thanks to the kinesiology I wore to support my knees)… these are the sort of things that happen when you are a runner - these are the sort of things I expected to happen.

Game On as a Family

Video games have come a long way from when I was growing up.

I can still remember playing Pong on our black-and-white television in the kitchen when I was five years old. (I feel like I should be waving a cane as I read back over those words.) I also remember when my brother got an Atari for Christmas, and the many hours of Asteroid, Frogger, Combat, and my favorite, a castle and dragon game called Adventure, that followed. (And OMG, I just discovered that you can play Adventure at Atari.com. SQUEE!)

The Benefits of a Daily Family Walk

I complain--a lot--about the fact that my family of three can never manage to eat a picture-perfect family meal together. Mornings are too chaotic and we honestly prefer sleeping in 15 more minutes rather than using that time for a breakfast at the table.

Sports Training

Do You Need Sports Training?

( premierfitnesscamp.com ) Do you play golf, tennis, or basketball? Do you like to mountain bike, ski, snowboard or surf? These sports require balance, power, flexibility, and coordination. You don’t have to be a professional in these sports to enjoy them or want to perform at your best, and be competitive. If you love to play sports or just play hard you know that being in shape allows you to enjoy your sport and do it longer. You need sports training.
