• Should I Work Out If I Have a Cold?
  The doldrums of winter are upon us. Not only is it cold outside, but many of us are suffering from upper respiratory infections- or, to put it in lay terms, colds. The golden opportunity to start shedding pounds with your new 2009 work out routine could be shattered by a cold virus! - Or, maybe not.   January and February are prime months for many different […]
• Can I Catch MRSA at My Gym?
  Any time I hear or see enough chatter about a fitness related topic, either in person, on line, or both, I feel compelled to share my knowledge with readers regarding that topic. One particular issue that has moved to the forefront of health club chatter is MRSA (pronounced mer´ suh), which is an acronym for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus.  MRSA […]
• Falling Off the Wagon
  It happens to the best of us- even yours truly. Any of you who have read my blogs over the past year or so know that I often draw on personal experience to write them. This one is no exception. Sometimes, life gets very hectic and there are certain things that happen beyond one's control. Recently, there was a death in my family. My father-in-law passed […]
• Working Out in the Cold
  Winter is here!! It's time to talk about how to deal with working out in cold climate conditions. Mostly, this applies to those of you who run, walk, or do other forms of exercise outdoors. For you strict gym rats, go grab a cup of coffee and skip this one.   Firstly, you have to be a little smart about this. There is cold, and then there is COLD. One t […]
• Have Your Steak and Eat It Too
  If you're like most people who are into staying healthy, losing weight, and keeping fit, you probably do your best to avoid red meat - or, at least, feel very guilty if you do have a nice juicy steak every so often. The good news is, you don't need to be as long as you eat steak sensibly and know that there are benefits to red meat. You also need t […]
• Chondromalacia Patella
  One particularly annoying and disabling syndrome that plagues runners, walkers and stair climbers alike is chondromalacia patella or patellofemoral pain. It is usually described as a dull ache in the front of the knee, where the knee cap (also known as the patella) sits. It is often felt while walking up or down stairs, squatting or kneeling. Interestingly, […]
• Why You Need a "Spot"
  The need for lifting weights with a "spot" or "spotter" can be best illustrated by the following story. Three years ago, I was on duty in the Emergency Room of a local hospital when an ambulance came in with a thirty four year old gentleman who sustained a rather large laceration on the right side of his forehead. The laceration was deep […]
• Do You Need a Personal Trainer?
  Being the brother-in-law of a personal trainer, I suppose I have to be careful with this one, otherwise he may not speak to me again. In all seriousness though, like so many other things, whether you actually need one, depends. If you're expecting a personal trainer to enter the scene, and carve you into Adonis or Madonna without putting in any work on […]
• Strains vs. Sprains
  If you hang around a gym or any type of venue where sports, exercise or physical training take place, or even if you're just a sports enthusiast excited about the start of football season or the baseball post-season, it's not uncommon to hear that someone "strained or sprained" something. "Wide receiver X will be out for at least fou […]
• Wearing an iPod While Working Out - A Double-Edge Sword
  If you're like most people, having an iPod or MP3 player on when you work out is crucial. I couldn't dream of doing a stationary bike or elliptical machine without some musical backup. Music can inspire, pass the time and make grueling workouts more tolerable. Many modern gyms these days also have video screens available where you can watch CNN, Th […]
