I’ve had several cyclists posting on my forum lately, and the theme seems to be a lot of knee and hip pains. If you’ve already read the thread I put into my forum about the iliopsoas, quadratus lumborum, and quadriceps muscles, you’ll understand how cycling can cause a long list of aches and pains. However, one […]

Well, as I admitted in my message that talked about Pilates, I’m a beginner. In fact, I’ve been a “faux athlete” for many years. I was always blessed with a strong looking body (note the keyword “looking”) and I really hate to sweat, so exercise and I haven’t always been friends. Until, that is, I

I’ve found another amazing exercise program. It’s a form of Pilates, but it’s called RedCords.

He then began a study on the subject and is prolific in

I’ve lived in a lot of places around the USA, and while I haven’t been in Chapel Hill very long I can tell that this is very likely going to be my favorite home. I love the town, it’s quaint, yet vibrant. I’m sure that comes from the people who attend or work at UNC

I received a newsletter from a wonderful triathlete coach who used to live in the USA, in Georgia, and is now in Australia (how’s that for starting a new life!). Jake Brindle has such an informative newsletter that I want to share it with you. As I was reading it I found an article about vitamin D

I’m finally getting really settled here in Chapel Hill. This past weekend I had a wonderful experience when I went to the Farmer’s Market in Saxapahaw (just outside of Chapel Hill) to do some chair massage to benefit their Community Chest fund so they can build a park near the river. It was like being
