Yep, you read the title right. It will be easy for many of you to dismiss this entire post as me just going through a tough time. After all, one of my brothers has cancer and another family member is ill. Some of you might tell yourself that I could just be pissed at the [...]

Change happens. Sometimes it comes in an undeniable wave and sometimes with such soft subtleness we aren’t even aware of the transformation. Most often perhaps, it is a combination. Change trickles into our lives and our bodies until the accumulative effect is great enough to catch our attention. A few weeks ago I was sitting [...]

Note: spoilers present. We went to see Avatar with some friends a few weeks ago. Since that time, a few people have sent reviews my way. Some of them have made it clear that while the same film rolls, we all experience a different movie. Avatar is a movie that follows Joseph Campbell’s idea of [...]

I was a bit delayed in getting to this, but here is the ‘choose your own adventure’ type of series. It starts out based upon a real story and at least one of the choices will also be based upon a real story, but there will obviously be fiction included at some point because the [...]

Have you ever read a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book? Within each book there were several points of choosing the character’s next action. You would make a choice and then go to the page associated with that choice. You never knew if it would lead to your demise, a happy ending, or to yet another [...]

So as to not be misleading, I’m not talking about a bum shoulder or elbow. What I am talking about comes from Circular Strength Training® (CST) but can be applied to all forms of exercise. (For a more detail explanation of CST, please see the bottom of this post.) CST is a 3-winged system that [...]
