Squats, Lunges and Your Knees

October 10, 2011

I’ve heard it over and over and over, “I can’t do lunges and squats, they hurt my knees”.  I always answer the same way, “I’m betting nobody has taught you how to do them correctly and that’s why it is hurting your knees.  Are you willing to try them one more time using proper form?”  Most [...]

October 3, 2011

  Unfortunately, though we may initially know something, we all tend to forget on occasion…including myself (though I’m not guilty this time).  I’ve posted on this topic before, so for those of you who have read my previous entries on dehydration, forgive me.  Just look at it as a friendly reminder!  (If you’ve not read my previous [...]

September 12, 2011

   Recently I had a knot just under the superior border of my scapula that was causing me quite a bit of pain.  I went to the massage therapist to see if he could work it out and get me feeling back to my normal self.  An hour later I walked (more like limped) out of [...]

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses…We All HaveThem

September 6, 2011

It’s been a long week…of the hellish variety.  As if a pulled hammy and a broken arm wasn’t enough at our house, we added a broken finger and a mini meltdown (I’m proud to report it was NOT my meltdown, thank you very much).  On the bright side, that’s three, “stuff” always happens in three’s, so I’m thrilled [...]
