In this blogpost I’d like to review the informative and entertaining book “Explain Pain,” written by David Butler and Lorimer Moseley (plus very unique artistic illustrations by an artist called Sunyata).  As mentioned in the preface to the book, the authors describe the book’s four primary aims:

1) To assist health professionals who [...]

While 2009 seemed to be a pretty crappy year for many people and our country in general (due to bad economy, doom & gloom media, etc….), it was actually a very productive year for me personally when I look back on it.

It all started with meeting Patrick Ward, who was a fellow contributor of articles [...]

It’s official! On Saturday, March 20th, I will be hosting the first Dragon Door HKC certification  to be taught in the state of Arizona at the combined Reality-Based Fitness/Optimum Sports Performance Training facility in Tempe. The course will be taught by Master RKC, Mark Reifkind from Northern California and it is sure to [...]

As some of you may know,  I am a recreational Master’s Sprinter and real fan of track & field in general! With the track season almost ready to roll here in AZ (our weather definately permits it), I wanted to post both the youth and open/masters 2010 schedule (tentative) for those who might be interested [...]

With the new year upon us, I ‘m sure many people are deeply commited to their new years resolutions right now (we’ll see how long that lasts!). Of the many facets of people’s resolutions, nutrition (next to exercise) is probably the hardest category for people to improve upon consistently.

First off, I’d like to wish anyone reading my blog a  Happy New Year! I hope your celebration was fun and safe. It really is hard to believe that we are already 10 years into this new decade. I can remember the whole Y2K scare and now in two years we’ll have the end of the world; [...]

Since as long as man has been around, some form of massage has probably been present.  For the caveman smacking his head in a cave it was probably second nature to immediately grab and rub the injured area just as it is today. The earliest recorded evidence of massage dates back to ancient cicilizations such [...]

In the first podcast that Patrick Ward and I recorded, we talked about the “Baloney Detection Kit” that was originally popularized by the late astronomer and science advocate Carl Sagan.  This kit is so important for any subject matter (especially health & fitness matters!)  since we are flooded with more information daily than anytime in [...]

In the latest podcast, Patrick and I interviewed the legendary Clarence Bass.  In this informative and motivating interview, we discussed topics such as Clarence’s:

his training and nutritional philosophy
inteval training verus steady state aerobics
the importance of a training journal
how to maitain motivation
and much, much more……

Clarence’s [...]

The interview with our latest guest, Steven Plisk, was unfortunately not able to be podcasted because of some severe technical difficulties we had with the audio recording software we were using. We were able to transcribe it though into this readable format so at least we can get the main portion of the interview across [...]
