  1. Female Pioneers of Fitness Paved the Way

    March is Women’s History Month in the U.S., a great time to remember that fitness, as we know it, didn’t always exist.  For earlier generations, gyms weren’t common, very few people lifted weights, and hardly anyone exercised for health or fun. Women, especially, were discouraged from exercising. It wasn’t just men like Jack LaLanne and Arnold Schwarzenegger […]


  2. ‘Tough Love’ Turned His Life Around

    Near the end of his 27-year career as a sheriff’s deputy, Mike knew he was dangerously overweight.

But it took “tough love” from a friend and fellow officer to get him to do anything about […]


  3. 10 Tips to Spread Happiness

    Baby Boomers remember The Partridge Family singing, “Come on, get happy.” And we were all clapping along a few years ago to Pharrell singing his ubiquitous, peppy song “Happy.” Even the U.S. Constitution talks about the “pursuit of happiness” as a fundamental right. But it’s not always that easy.

  6. Success Story: Fitness Helped Him Thrive After Back Surgery

    For Dr. Bruce Lockhart, back surgery finally got him committed to regular exercise near retirement a decade ago. Over the years, he had treated enough patients with chronic back pain to know that he didn’t want to become one after the procedure. So he found the right trainer at the right gym and has been enjoying it […]


  7. Exercise Fights Depression as Well as Therapy, Study Finds

    Millions of people struggle with depression, and lots of those take medicine or talk to a therapist for treatment. But did you know physical exercise is just as effective, according to research?  “Exercise is an effective treatment for depression, with walking or jogging, yoga, and strength training more effective than other exercises, particularly when intense,” the authors […]
