5am workouts need a different kind of workout music. At our performance center, we have Pandora on the computer with a bunch of channels so our clients can pick the workout music they want to listen to…my normal workout faves would be the Breaking Benjamin stations…but at 5am, they sometimes get a little loud & the beat… [Read more…]

I think people in other parts of the world might roll their eyes regularly at what we consider “health news.” All you doctors & nurses out there, we appreciate what you do! so don’t feel like this a dig on you because it’s not - it’s just really funny when we do scientific studies on things… [Read more…]

I know that you know by now that going to the gym to do a set of machine leg press followed by a rest period where you sit & wait for the time to pass (how much time was supposed to pass again? 30 seconds? 60? when Oprah goes to commercial?) then do another set… [Read more…]
