This post has nothing to do with health, fitness or even weight loss. I thought I would just write about a great marketing idea a local contractor had in my neighborhood. Two days ago (February 12th) we had 50mph+ winds whipping through New Jersey for over 24 hours. It was actually very scary to see [...]

Let me ask you, do you weigh yourself regularly? Have those numbers crept up over the years? Do you measure yourself? Have those numbers increased, also? Bought new clothes? Let me guess, the old ones’ don’t fit anymore, right? If you’re reading this, you probably do some sort of exercise or are looking to start. [...]

With Christmas coming real quick, I hope all of you have finished or at least started your holiday shopping. Luckily for me, my wife does the gift shopping for us. I’m fortunate enough to only buy for her. So, I usually take my two kids with me and go to the mall to pick something [...]

What guy doesn’t like b00bs? Hell, many ladies appreciate a nice looking set as well. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and felt this would be an appropriate blog post. I’ll be honest, as a guy, I never really think about this topic but I should. Number one, my wife comes to mind. And two, [...]

It was gonna be a terribly hot day in the Yucatan. The travel guide said it may reach 108 degrees Fahrenheit. My son and I were taking a tour of the Mayan town of Chichen Itza. It was an all day event. We left our Cancun hotel before 8am and didn’t come back ’til after [...]

Believe it or not, your sleeping position can affect your abs. Sleeping on your back with a pillow under your legs will help you with that stubborn back pain. I didn’t say it will eliminate it, just alleviate some of the pain. But, it will contribute to building your abs by keeping your legs up [...]
