Exercise Equipment, How to Find the Right One.
Ok, you have decided to take the plunge and stick with this exercise thing, but you want to buy exercise equipment that will last past the 90 guarantee. We have all been there: you're rocking-out to your tunes and pedaling away on your stationary bike, only to see yourself flying over the top of the bike and landing on the floor with a handle in your hand. What happened? Well, it was day 91 and the screw... (posted by Tim 4 years 22 days ago.)

The Case Against the Family Bed
A friend of ours had their first child several years before we did. They believed in the "Family Bed" system. This is the system that has you sleep in the same bed as your children. Although this sounds good in theory, it is a recipe for disaster. When their child reached 6 years old, they moved her to her own room. I guess I should say they TRIED to move her to her own room; What followed was YEARS of tantrums. When my... (posted by Tim 4 years 28 days ago.)

The Six Week Exercise Program
We have all been there at one time or another. We get a bee in our bonnet to try and lose weight. We become fitness nuts and go out and buy equipment and become totally involved in this, our latest fad. The first few weeks are fine, we motivate ourselves to try and exercise each and every day. We are proud at the initial weight lose and the feeling of euphoria we feel at the end of the... (posted by Tim 4 years 29 days ago.)

Squirrels, Cats, and Lawn Mowers
When I first started writing a blog, I figured it would be a piece of cake. Just write a few lines and that would be it. Well, that is the farthest thing from the truth. Blogs require a great deal of thought and dedication. I want mine to be the best, so I strive to write articles with good content. I want to write articles about everyday life and how it affects us. However, there are those days, like today, when ideas... (posted by Tim 4 years 38 days ago.)

Why You Need to Add Strength Training to Your Workout Routine
Don't you just love counting calories? I know, I hate it too, but it is an important part of any lifestyle devoted to staying fit. Dieting is only part of the equation when trying to lose weight. You must also adhere to some sort of exercise program, which includes both weight training and cardio workouts. Why must I do both? Well, you CAN get away with doing only one or the other, but if you... (posted by Tim 4 years 38 days ago.)

Overcoming a Weight Loss Plateau
In August, I began my weight loss program. I weighted 278 pounds of pure, unadulterated fat (can we say Jabba the Hutt??). In November, I weighed 244 pounds, with 15 of that in muscle. In December...244lbs. In January....244lbs. In February....244lbs. What is going on here!!!! I am killing myself with these exercises and this diet, but I'm still at the same weight!!! I'm losing inches, but I'm not losing pounds. I am no... (posted by Tim 4 years 38 days ago.)
