Davey, I’m home sick with a cold. Is it a good idea to workout when you are sick with a cold or flu? Part of me wonders if the energy expenditure would take away from the immune systems that are working to get rid of it. I’ve recently lost nearly 60 pounds and don’t want to diminish my current fitness [...]
In a study that falls into the “no shit, Sherlock” category, researchers found that drinking one or two sugary beverages a day – like soda, iced tea, sweetened fruit drinks, and vitamin water – leads to increased risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome (including high blood pressure, large waist size, etc.).

So I put together this total body workout for those 2 and a half minute commercial breaks. Enjoy trying it out! And feel free to use this as [...]
With the elevators currently out of order in my building, I’ve been forced to take the stairs. It got me to thinking about how all of us can make relatively small changes that add up over time. Cumulatively, they can have a big impact on our lives. Unfortunately for me, I’m on the 41st floor. But here are are few [...]
The journey to a healthier lifestyle always begins with a single first step. It’s something that you’ll have in common with every fitness enthusiast you ever meet – we all had to take a first step. Perhaps the time is now for you to take yours. But how do you truly start from scratch? Visit a doctor to make sure [...]
