What lipstick commercials can teach us about working out
Did you ever notice lipstick commercials? They take very literal pictures to essentially prove to you that you are going to be a plump-lipped, long-color-lasting, sexy goddess with moisture-filled lips if you buy their lipstick. I saw one recently that had honey dripping off of a rose petal in one frame, a super close-up/expanded picture of the glittery shimmer in [...]

“Nobody ever regrets it”
Thank you Nike for always having something motivational to say on the front of a t-shirt. I’d like to know who the person(s) are who find & come up with all these slogans. I’d be so disappointed if it was a bunch of fat guys who weren’t exercising & living this totally optimal life. I mean, [...]

RK Tip of the Week|Your bounce-back guide to fitness & health
Ok, so you’re back in town. You drank too many margaritas. You threw ‘hunger’ to the wind at your all-inclusive & ate at the buffet/human trough more times than you can remember, and you may have forgotten to workout “enough” on vacation.

Sunday morning running revelation
I was so pumped to wake up to run this morning. Knowing how many layers I needed on top, what hat I needed to wear to keep the heat in, knowing that the sun would rise just after 7 so if I got out by 7:15, I’d be able to run into the breaking dawn….ah! [...]

The best offense is a good defense
Said time and again by coaches, “the best offense is a good defense” depicts the way in which the coach is focusing his
or her team to be strong defenders so that the opposing team cannot run the score up on them. The logic is that you can be great scorers, but if the other team [...]

RK Tip of the Week:Health Care Reform & American Waists|Large & In Charge?
I don’t make a habit of reading or listening to Bill Maher – he’s a bit cranky at times, but he is also incredibly intelligent & sees things in an objective way that many talking heads cannot/will not. But last Fri, he posted a blog entry that made me stop, read, & say, “hell yes!”
