I have to tell you, I've been truly inspired by someone over the past week. This man has been surrounded by a great deal of controversy over the past few years and he definitely has a lot of critics.  Heck, I was even one of them.  For a multitude of reasons. However, after last Sunday, I now look at him very differently. Tom Brady, the New England Patriots Quarterback (with a lot of help from his defense, his receivers and his running backs) engineered the greatest comeback in...

I'm just getting back from attending a day and a half meeting in Naples of a dozen or so of the most astute Exercise Scientists in the world.  We discussed and explored the most advanced ways to apply exercise to enhance the bodies level of physical performance.  All I can say is that my mind was absolutely blown.  Now our job is getting this message to the rest of the rehabilitative and performance exercise community because it is truly a game changer that can help so...

The topic is the importance of building ankle strength and maintaining it as we age.  It suggests that because new bio-mechanical research has been done that has linked decreased ankle muscle strength and power to being slower and to having more inefficient...

She wanted some of her friends and clients...

It is pretty much a summation of some of the proven and documented physiological benefits of exercising the proper way and in the correct dosage. There are also interview excerpts from physicians of different disciplines who are weighing in how powerful exercise has been for their patients. The basic takeaway is that exercise is the best "medicine" for any...

Hey!  I hope your day is going well! How many times have you heard the term "overnight success?" Such an attractive concept isn't it? When I think about this I often think about the Olympics. This year we saw hundreds of absolutely incredible athletes display their physical abilities on the worlds grandest platform.  Some of them we had never seen before. I had never even heard of many of the American athletes including some of the swimmers and the gymnasts that were so dominant in their events. Sometimes when...
