  • Squat Cleans

    Since we had family in town this weekend, we officially moved Father’s Day to next Sunday in our house.  Sometimes you have to do what you have to do — It was so fun to have my big brother here for the weekend. I love seeing my kids around their family since we don’t live…

  • High School Students need to MOVE!

    CDC: High school students don’t exercise enough High school students aren’t doing much running – and when they do run, there’s a good chance it’s to a vending machine. Roughly one-third of high school students in the U.S. drink two or more sodas, sports drinks, or other sugary beverages per day, but only 15% get…

  • A challenging workout of Jerks

    Holy cow am I sore. I know I said I love being fit and SORE but this may be a bit over the top.  Note to self – doing 50m lunges for 3 rounds and then doing 200 squats over 2 days is just not the smartest approach to fitness for me. Most people skip…

  • Today is the last day of school for the kiddos. What a crazy year this has been for us – but that’s life.  We had a bit of extra time this morning because our internet is out at the house, so I decided to walk the kids to school. Here is the pic I took…

  • Overweight America: Products adapt to accommodate

    Overweight is the new normal Americans are living large. Extra large. As in XXXXL large. As in baby-powdered-thighs large. As in wheezing, heaving, bust-the-car-suspension large. Overweight has become the new normal, and society is straining to accommodate our ever-expanding waistlines. We plant plush bottoms on wider seats in theaters and toilet stalls, drape ourselves in…

  • Go Heavy, or go Home

    I feel better – finally and just have small remnants of my cold. It’s hard to believe summer is here already. Time goes by so fast. Seeing my niece this weekend really brought that home. Scotty’s illness really brought home to me how important family is. There are no other people in the world who…

  • The number on the scale …

    Attention Scale Addicts! Thought it would be good to post something weight/scale related from a guy’s perspective. He makes some very fair points about the laws of attraction. Have I made my point? The bottom line is that the scale just doesn’t have any really valuable information for you. Everyone has heard the obligatory “muscle…
