| Article Title :: Appreciating Your Core Golf Strength Will Improve Your Game |

| Article Title :: Approach Shots: What it takes to master them |
| |
| Basically, your approach shot is your shot onto the green. One of the things I like to say is this, "You know your game is improving when you start fixing more ball marks on the green". To fix a ball mark on the green most likely means that you hit it on your approach, which is a good thing. Here are a few tips to keep in mind, and then we'll get to the heart of this article.Aim for the middle of the green, not the flag. Pin placements and greens are getting tougher to stick all the time. Don't be a "sucker" and go for a pin that you'll most likely miss, which will leave you in a bunker or some other position to add strokes to your round. Focus on alignment, not distance.

| Article Title :: April's Sports View |
| |
| SPORTS VIEWBy Leigh DouglasAs the ‘madness’ winds down, I find myself having to eat crow. Illinois is for real (I still stand by Carolina winning it all) but the fighting Illini are a much better team than I had given them credit.As the NFL draft approaches the rumor mill spins out of control. Two rumors making the rounds that I like however are the proposed Philip Rivers to San Francisco for the number one pick; and the Vikings trading first round spots with the Browns. The Niners-Chargers deal will never happen, for financial reasons more than anything. The Chargers just gave Rivers a Bonus of 6 million dollars, and then would have to pay another bonus for the #1 pi (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Are Fins Useful in Triathlon Swim Training? |
| |
| One of the most common questions I hear as a coach is, “Should I use fins?” The answer depends largely on your goals, your skill level and the type of fins. Often times, especially in masters swimming, swimmers wear fins merely to keep up with other swimmers in their lane, or to advance to the fast lane and make tighter intervals. If you are strictly swimming for fitness, and do not care about your stroke technique, swim time, or energy conservation in a race, then this is a perfectly acceptable reason to use fins. Fins, especially the Zoomers-type, can help you go faster in a workout and burn more calories.Most of us in the triathlon world are concerned with more than ju (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Are Prohormones A Safe Alternative To Anabolic Steroids? |
| |
| Steroid prohormones such as androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) have become popular in recent years as safer alternatives to anabolic steroids, but two questions need to be answered:1. Are they effective in stimulating muscle growth?2. Are they safe to use?The theory behind prohormones is that they are building blocks for testosterone and are converted into testosterone by the body. Very little definitive scientific research exists to back up the claims of prohormone manufacturers. The difficulty seems to be that the minimum dosage levels recommended by manufacturers appear to be insufficient to stimulate a measurable clinical reaction. Many users point (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Are You A One-Dimensional Trainer? |
| |
| Most people are classically biased toward one of the three legs of the fitness triad: progressive resistance training, cardiovascular training or diet/nutrition. How many folks try and lose weight by dieting and dieting alone? A safe bet would be a majority of individuals. Ever wonder why people who lose a lot of bodyweight rapidly still look fat? It’s because they are still fat.When the human organism perceives starvation it reverts to a primordial hardwiring that seeks to preserve body fat (the last line of defense against starvation) at all costs. So dieting alone can results in weight loss but when more muscle than body fat is lost as a result of crash dieting, the end result i (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Are You An Experimental Lab Rat? |
| |
| Copyright 2005 RS Marketing NewsAt the age of 17, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. My doctor couldn’t hardly believe it. That was back in 1975. I wasn’t fat, in fact I was almost pure muscle. I was hyper and couldn’t stay still. I had to be doing something all the time. I felt like I was just like anyone else.According to the blood pressure reading, I was an odd ball. My doctor told me it’s unusual for a 17 year old to have high blood pressure. However, he didn’t just start writing prescriptions then. I told him I was very nervous around doctors and maybe that was what the deal was. I told him that I haven’t eaten all day either. He suggested that I go ea (read full article) |
