Re-define your rest|How to get more out of your workout

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 of [...]

When you’re staring out a window while you run…

I seem to have subconsciously taken on a mental challenge that I’m not sure I really wanted to take on, but yet, here I am. Did you ever get halfway into something before you realized, “well, how did we get here?” Well, that is where this runner stands in the dead of a Midwest winter [...]

RK Tip of the Week|You’ve got to practice your craft

Did you wake up one day & find you were automatically ‘good’ at what you do? All the smartasses can put their hands
 down now….seriously, did whatever you’re doing in your life right now show up as something that you were already incredibly good at? Or did you find yourself practicing to get to this point?

“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.

RK Tip of the Week|Gobble gobble your workout!

Thanksgiving is one of the most fun days to workout, in my opinion. Even if you have 30 people arriving that afternoon, and have been up since 5 basting the bird…there is just something awesome about slipping away for 30 mins or an hour to a workout. And my favorite workouts on Thanksgiving are  done either [...]

Let me explain. It’s a really big deal because it means that [...]
