  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. HIIT Happens to Be Excellent for Active Adults

    Have you heard about High-Intensity Interval Training and wondered what HIIT’s all about? Or noticed joggers or walkers sporadically speeding up for short bouts? HIIT is a great way to make the most of aerobic exercise, and although it has media buzz, it’s not just a trend. It’s also not just for “the young and […]

  4.  10 Tips for a Healthy Holiday Season

    The holidays can be a “good news, bad news” situation for some people. The good news: We get time off from work, we get to see families and friends, and we get to eat our favorite foods. The bad news: Disrupted schedules, busy calendars, and extra calories can throw us off our healthy tracks. It doesn’t have to […]


  5. Exercise Helps Prevent, Treat Diabetes

    Fifteen years ago, Alan Rosenthal was a fit 60-year-old who had just returned from a bicycle trip through France. Then, a blood test revealed type 2 diabetes. His doctor gave him a three-day diet, exercise, and self-care course. The doctor also recommended a local trainer. And even though Alan knew his way around a gym, he adopted […]

  7. Study Links Exercise to Immunity from Covid

    People who exercise face a lower risk of Covid-19 and severe infection than people who don’t, says an analysis of 16 studies published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. This could lead to enthusiasm for updating exercise guidelines and health policies concerning exercise as medicine. You might remember during the darkest days of the pandemic, there was […]


  8. Fall Hiking: Accept the Invitation to Move

    Do you hear Mother Nature calling?  How can you resist the temptation to get out and enjoy the cooler temps and the mesmerizing transformation of fall foliage? Even if it means a short drive to reach the perfect spot, the rewards of nature are worth it. But there’s more to this than just a visual treat. With […]


  9. Stretching for Health, Fun, and Fall Prevention 

    Balance and flexibility are key facets of physical fitness. Like endurance and strength, they diminish with age unless we work on them. Working on balance and flexibility helps prevent falls, which can be disastrous. And just like it’s never too late to start working on them, it’s also never too soon. Anyone engaged in fitness should […]
