Tuesday, March 11th, 2008A small study was recently conducted on the high protein, high fat snack (peanuts) and surprisingly the results showed that adding these to your daily diet did not result in weight gain. The test group was given a small peanut snack every day for a few weeks while not altering any other part of the [...]

The link between martial arts and yoga
Sunday, March 9th, 2008To the untrained eye it would seem that martial arts and yoga are opposite philosophically as well as in their movements but these two health maintenance systems have more in common than you might think.

Workout 9.2008 Music Mix
Saturday, March 8th, 2008This week’s music list is not about the thumping, jumping or revving up the heart rate, it’s time to slow things down. Typically it seems we use slow chant like or mystical music for yoga which I love but yesterday I felt like I wanted a change so I created this play list of current [...]

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008Health clubs are seeing declining membership numbers as people are either losing interest, looking outdoors for their exercises or just getting lazy. Regardless of why, gyms want you back so they are looking at creative programming to get people in again. One type of class that is having success because it is fun and makes [...]
Chi Running
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008I love to run but I suffer from knee pain after about mile 4 - call it age, call it wear and tear from years of exercise, call it whatever you like, it’s real and if I can find a way to run without pain I am all for it. A friend of mine at [...]
