In a previous blog, Core Exercise, Part 1: Fad, Fashion or Fundamental?, I proposed that core exercise is not just about training the abs since the core is a more integrated, comprehensive functional unit that simply includes the abs as one element. In Part 2, I want to stress how the abs actually function – notRead More
I remember the fad of the record album of my college days that gave potheads- of which I was NOT one (really, ask anyone on my freshman floor) – a mellow thrill: recordings of the humpback whales. Stoned, they’d express youthful ‘wows’ as if the combination of science and THC took them to another level.Read More
What’s all the fuss about “core”? Too many articles in the lay literature address core as if somehow it’s a brand new thing in fitness. Yet, those articles fail to appreciate the full measure of what core exercise is all about. In fact, they tend to further the image of core by emphasizing the abdominals,Read More

For lack of better, more technical, definitions, let’s use the simple version of using our own bodies, or other parts of other bodies, to heal our own bodies.

Here come those nasty holidays advice columns, again. Halloween ends, and the decorations for Thanksgiving come out in stores and homes. Everyone knows that that portends – Christmas decorations, gift shopping and those ubiquitous and invasive, and exhausting, parties are right around the corner. Every newspaper, magazine and TV news or talk show will beRead More
In many blog posts and newsletters, I have tried to come to grips with the value and merits of increased protein ingestion. Studies have demonstrated that extra protein helps not just athletes and ‘bodybuilders’ but the elderly, too. In this article, we see that there was probably a benefit for those about to undergo andRead More
Most everyone knows that cardio exercise is valuable to health and longevity. It improves the heart muscle itself plus the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to other organs and muscles. It keeps resting blood pressures lower, reduces high levels of bad cholesterol and triglycerides and sugar. And it helps burn calories to help youRead More
