Do doctors ever make you feel uneasy?
If you're afraid to say it, I'll say it for you. A position in the medical or fitness field does not automatically translate to a kind heart...or intelligence. Such is the topic for the next health seminar with Dr. Fofie MD (I'm tired of writing all of her other professional initials behind her name

Stress and Muscle Tension
I've been in the fitness industry for almost a decade now. There are a few topics that seem most difficult to explain to the general public. But there is one thing clients seem to have the most trouble understanding. It's not weight loss. It's not dieting. It's not exercise intensity. No matter ho

Winter Workouts or Hibernation?
Every time winter comes around I start rethinking my life choices… how could this be happening? The cold and me just don’t get along and that’s not changing anytime soon. If I didn’t love this area so much, I would have left for a warmer state a long time ago! Immediately the temperatures drop, I
