I had a nice, restful evening last night and was able to get 9 hours of sleep to kickoff my weekend. Today’s activities have included cleaning, cooking, laundry, and once all that was done I went out for a quick 45 minute bike ride. For some reason, my bike was calling out to me to [...]

Good evening everyone! I have had another great day of teaching my physical education students how to run the bases properly in baseball, and we covered a couple health and nutrition topics such as the ice cream Haagen Dazs 5 and how you don’t get healthy by losing weight, you get healthy then you lose [...]

Most people work-out and work-out and work-out but never WORK-IN. Your body needs time to rest and repair. Some of the health benefits of tai-chi are: sleep better, boost immune system, improve flexibility, improve balance and coordination, reduce anxiety, depression, ADD, and ADHD. Go for it and see how you feel throughout the day. I [...]

Good Saturday to you all. I hope you read my post on “tai-chi” on March 13? My physical education students tried tai-chi for the first time this week and really enjoyed the way it made them feel. Many of them felt at peace, calm, rested, and were able to slow their mind down and be [...]

Last Saturday, I talked about being a “frequent eater.” Below are the foods that I had on Thursday and the times I ate. Remember that each person needs a different amount of calories, food ratios(fats, carbs, proteins), types of foods, and frequencies. I [...]

In my personal workouts I have been working on my pull-up and chin-up skills along with working on flex-arm hang with my students. I came across this video by Charles Polaquin yesterday and I thought you all would enjoy it as well. The last couple weeks I have been focusing on body weight exercises only, [...]

In my last post I talked about my goal of staying functional and pain free as possible as I age. It is very important to me to be able to play many sports at a high level. With that said when I met JP Sears, he told me that before we start working together I [...]

When I took my first CHEK HLC class 7 years ago I was able to watch Paul Chek workout live, and it was quite impressive and unlike anything I had seen before. I am 38 years old with a small scoliosis and have disc desiccation in my L4-L5, L5-S1 area from playing sports and lifting [...]
