Well, now summer is coming to an end so what’s going to motivate everyone to keep up with their core strength? I […]

I never considered myself a runner, in fact I did not run until I got out of high school. I enjoyed running, but I was too busy playing basketball, baseball, golf, and football as a kid. After high school, I started to run as a way of staying in shape since team sports became more […]

All I want to do is bicycle, bicycle, bicycle!
From the magical harmonies to the various bicycle bells, Queen’s “Bicycle Race” embraces the simplicity and freedom of riding a bike. Summer in Minnesota is all about the bike. Adults remember the meaning of “it’s just like riding a bike”, kids learn to ditch the training wheels, and athletes enjoy speeding on open country roads. […]

Muscles – our metabolic machinery
Some call it the “middle age slump” or “weight creep”. You may not be doing much different than you did 5-10 years ago, yet the pounds are increasing a bit each year. As much as you don’t like it, this is natural. In fact, thought to happen for survival purposes as a store of energy in […]

Picture the obligatory scene in a sports movie where the unlikely athlete starts to make the turn to star athlete. With an inspirational soundtrack playing in the background, the athlete sweats, grunts, runs, and jumps. Sometimes the athlete will take a few turns through the speed ladder. However unlikely the scene that unfolds before us […]

New Running Route: Early Bird 5K!
There is nothing more invigorating than waking up early in a city. Even though there are buildings, houses, and cars all around…everything is quiet. There is something peaceful about being the only one awake and running in the city. Street corners that would normally be busy are completely open. You don’t have to swerve around […]

Is your core ready for summer?
The smells of dirt, freshly cut grass, sweat, and smoke from a pipe remind me of softball. The dirt, grass, and sweat for obvious reasons. The pipe because I had a teammate whose dad always had a pipe. It’s funny the things that bring us right back to former times in our life. I can […]
