Monday morning fitness blog roundup!

The weekend is over, and I have to admit I didn’t get as much exercise as I had hoped. Yesterday I didn’t do anything except go for a walk with my wife, which is better than nothing, but still not what I had hoped. My diet was also a bit lackluster as we attended a [...]

Download the 100 pushups challenge for your Ipod!

When I started the 100 pushups workout I found that I wasn’t always near a computer on the days I needed to do my workout.  It was a small issue, but a pain nonetheless.   It would have been nice to have the entire workout in my hands so that I could just reference it when [...]
