On contradicting my Marine dad's sage health advice: My dad's advice was "if you don't need to run, walk; if you don't need to walk, stand; if you don't need to stand, sit; if you don't need to sit, lie down." I am embracing the diametrically opposite.

Roger Wolfson on Fitness and Moderation: I was in my 20s when I met Roger Wolfson. He has always had a vision for his life even when he was in his young 30s.

We flowed up and down, first thing in the morning, as a team, with folks powering up and streaming back down.

Fake it ‘Til You Make It: There is a slogan I remembered this morning which brought everything together for me: fake it ‘til you make it. A couple years ago I suffered from obesity, high blood pressure, weak knees, and bad habits. I decided to take this pithy slogan and pretended to be a healthy and see what would happen.
