You forego some of your daily routine, might not eat when you want and might even lose some sleep. But when you arrive it’s all worth it! Getting lean is a lot like a long road trip says John…

“Q4” (fourth quarter of the year) is a challenging, crazy busy time when for lots of reasons we throw out what works for us throughout the whole year – we abandon our commitment to goals and good routines that actually work. A small voice in our head says, “It’s the holidays so (fill in the blank with any indulgence you can think of)”. We spend more, eat more, eat worse,…
We shouldn’t be surprised that some people remain fit, flexible and healthy well into their 60’s and beyond. Aging alone does not make one weak, less mobile and out of shape yet aging is most often associated with decline. You don’t “catch” immobility like a disease. But immobility and weakness develop when you stop moving no matter the age. “You don’t lose mobility from aging. You lose mobility from not…

Some of the top tour players are on the injured list this season; Tiger Woods, Jason Dufner, Angel Cabrera and Michele Wie to name a few. Are there more injuries on tour today or is it just the perception of more injuries? Did “Dufnering” lead to Jason’s neck pain? Regardless, everyone can acknowledge that 1000’s of full swings over time is going to increase your risk of injury. Dr. Greg…
I LOVE weekend get-aways. It’s a great year when I get to travel somewhere once or twice a month. (That’s me up there on a family vacation in the 49th state.) I just returned from three nights in Chicago for a fitness summit, I will go to Boston in two weeks for fun and then start weekends on the road watching women’s college soccer in late August through November.
