Fit Happens – Winter 2019

Fit Happens Winter – or 30th Anniversary – 2019 Pillar 1: The Winter of Our Discontent In the summer of 1986, my colleague, Kathy Alexander, and I wondered what we would do once we finished our dissertations in exercise science at Vandy. At the time, there were very few options in that field: academia, hospital-basedRead More

Disease, Apps and Ultimate Responsibility

I receive occasional offers from other bloggers to include or add onto my site as this sharing boosts one’s own visibility on the web. I vet them for content and redundancy – that is, if I’ve already addressed a topic – as well as readability. The latter pertains to it complexity or lack thereof. Some,Read More

On Fatness, Genes and Real Life

A post-New Year article in Bloomberg Opinion addressed a topic that invariably arises in early January, in the US at least: how can I drop the holiday weight I’ve gained? It addressed the issue less from how to lose it than why some gain more of it. The article was based on the research of Dr.MaryRead More

What is ‘Old’ and How Can One Procrastinate Aging?

The answer to the title question, “What is ‘Old’ and How Can One Procrastinate Aging”, is a timeless one. It’s as old as cognition itself. For the next step after old is dead and mankind has been trying to make sense of that once he and she realized he and she existed beyond the bodilyRead More

Free Holiday Season Advice, for what it’s worth

​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

Can Protein Supplementation Facilitate Joint Replacement Success?

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

 December 2018 Training the Respiratory-side of Cardiorespiratory Health Not a day goes by without some mention on the news, or at your doctor’s office, of your cardiovascular health. Blood pressure, cholesterol, disease-risk, etc. But, unless you’ve had problems with the lungs, few of us consider the respiratory side of the formula. In exercise science, weRead More

 November 2018 When Hip Structure Compromises Hip Motion A more recent diagnostic of hip deformity, along with a more recent surgical procedure to manage it (thanks to the work of a Nashville orthopedist), has helped explain a lot of athletes’, and even non-athletes’, groin pain. Called femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), it is essentially a recognition thatRead More

I am very happy working with Stephanie, my trainer at STEPS Fitness. Whereas my previous training and exercise focused on getting my body stronger without hurting my injured shoulder, I now feel my weaker shoulder is getting stronger! Stephanie has linked me with an app so she can advise me on best ways to round out my fitness plan as I recount what I'm doing at the Y throughout the week. Best of all, I have NO PAIN in my shoulder right now! I feel better now than I have in years. This is what I wanted to achieve and it appears I am on the right path.
