| Article Title :: Join a Mountain Bike Club For Fun, Fitness and Weight Loss |
| |
| Mountain biking is not all about the extreme, white knuckle shenanigans you see on TV. There is a sector of the mountain biking community who love a good climb, a good view, and meeting new riders. Even if you have never ridden a mountain bike before there is probably a trail near you that is perfect for your level of riding. Trails range anywhere from rugged single track, to fire roads, to old railroad beds. Mountain biking is a great way to meet new people, gain a new skill, enjoy the outdoors, get in shape, and lose weight.Step number 1.

| Article Title :: Television - The #1 Killer of the Body-Mind Connection |
| |
| Fitness centers are doing their absolute best to destroy our ability to build the body-mind connection through exercise. Like a bunch of lemmings, we are content to not only follow the trend but we are also the driving force behind taking what I believe is the largest step backwards in the history of fitness. It involves the amazing amounts of media distractions, specifically televisions, now common place in fitness centers. These distractions take away our ability to focus on what we went to the gym to do in the first place…exercise! Not only are we accepting this technology, we are demanding it as part of our exercise experience and fitness centers are listening.The gym whe (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Sports Injuries Can Be Forever |
| |
| Many sports injuries cause a progressive permanent osteoarthritis that will prevent a person from exercising to cause the very diseases that a regular exercise program is supposed to prevent. Sports medicine surgeon James Garrick, writing in the medical journal Lancet (December 2005), explains why. You are supposed to exercise. It makes you stronger, faster, healthier and may even prolong your life. However, every time you exercise, you risk injury and many sports injuries last forever. Depression, heart attacks, strokes, obesity and diabetes are all associated with a sedentary lifestyle. A twisted ankle can change an active person into a sedentary one.

| In August of 2004 I accepted a coaching position with the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society’s team in training (T'NT). I was to teach a group of people from all walks of life how to train to run or walk a marathon (26.2 miles). The task was challenging and daunting. Some of these people had not even jogged around the block…….where do I start?Besides the training, these people took on the challenge of raising close to $5,000.00 a piece for Leukemia/Lymphoma research.As I look back over those 4 months I saw confident athletes emerge from the 37 members of the team.

| Article Title :: Listen to Your Body |
| |
| It sounds so simple, doesn't it? It's not as if your body is speaking a language you don't understand. The signals are there, out in the open for you to see and feel. The elevated heart rate in the morning, the feeling of chronically tired legs, the complete lack of energy and enthusiasm, the scratchy throat, the inability to elevate your heart rate during training...Why is it then, that so many athletes become over-trained, burned out and sick? Why do we ignore these signs? We all feel them and we shouldn't need someone to tell us what they mean. The language is universal, it's your body's way of saying, slow down buddy!It is hard to stop training when your program calls fo (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Advantages of Compound Exercises |
| |
| One problem that many people have in the gym is that they only want to do exercises like bicep curls and chest flyes. These can be useful and have their place in a workout, but the main focus should be on compound exercises, which involve more than one muscle group. Squats, deadlifts, and the bench press are three lifts that should be included in everybody's workout. Other compound exercises that I would recommend doing are pullups, dips, and shoulder presses. In this article, I will show you some of the advantages that compound lifts have over isolation exercises.-Time: Doing compound exercises can save you time and shorten your workout.
