Working out with a buddy

Because of the considerable commute to the gym, my friend Amy and I decided to join together. We figured it would be helpful to carpool. We also hoped that having a schedule would make us both more accountable. Neither one of us would be as likely to skip a workout if we were meeting up. […]

Getting older and suffering leg cramps at night

I recently turned 56 years old. Over the last couple of years, I’ve noticed some changes in my body. I have always been dedicated to my level of health and fitness. I’ve been a vegetarian for around twenty years, and I workout for an hour every morning. Because of my commitment to healthy foods and […]

Buying an elliptical

My location makes it just about impossible to maintain a gym membership. I’d need to drive for approximately 45 minutes to reach the nearest facility. I don’t have that kind of time.

I love to run

One of my favorite ways to workout is to run. I like the simplicity of it. Running doesn’t require a bunch of specialized gear. I can go for a jog whether I’m at home, on vacation or traveling for work. I can run on a treadmill, on the track at the athletic field, through town […]

I love my gym membership

I don’t complain about the expense, because there have also been many improvements made to the facility. There are […]

As well as extending the life of your equipment, regular cleaning ensures that your clothes look and smell good and come out of the washer stain-free. You should flush your washing machine approximately every 30 days, whether you wash clothes every day or only once or twice […]
