How are your Burpees going?! Does anyone need help? A couple key reminders…keep a tight stomach/core during the Burpee/s to protect your lower back. If you are challenged with push-ups from your feet, do them from your knees. The idea is to do what you can and build on it, to acknowledge where you are [...]

In this short video I demonstrate and explain the “Burpee,” a wonderful all around exercise that requires only one thing, YOU! No props, no weights, bands, benches, balls or anything else to give you an excuse to not do them! Simple.

This morning I went for a short run, which I rarely do, with my host in Chicago, [...]

This past weekend my son, Axl, and I skied on Saturday evening at the King (Snow King Mountain). It was our first night runs together, at least of the skiing kind. We alternated skiing with swinging on the swing set at the base. I narrowly missed stepping in a dog dukie left by a woman [...]
