This Is A MUST READ!

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18TH, 2012
Open Class 4:30pm / 5:30pm

NOTE: There will be no classes Friday this week.

Here is an article EVERYONE should read. This article does one of the best jobs that I've ever seen summing what a healthy lifestyle means all up in a page or two. If you need a quick education on some of the physiology of the article then head on over to Google or Wikipedia and search what you don't know or feel that it might be important to understand. Having an understanding of this article, in my opinion, is invaluable.

Again, this is a MUST READ!

The Paleo Diet: How Do I Convince Someone To Try It?

TUESDAY, APRIL 17TH, 2012
Open Class 4:30pm / 5:30pm

This blog post on Robb Wolf's website is all to resounding of how I've begun to sound these days. In fact, just this last weekend I had virtually the same discussion, word-for-word, with my mom regarding my grandpa and his RA. You'll see this part under the "Be Here Now" portion of the blog post.

Say Hello!

MONDAY, APRIL 16TH, 2012
Open Class 5:30pm / 7:00pm

Yesterday my girlfriend and I did a little social "experiment" to determine the general friendliness of people. On our 3-mile run around Country Heights, a very "homey", nonthreatening neighborhood, we waved to every car that went by and said, "hello" to every person that we ran by. Guess how many responses we got? NOT A SINGLE ONE! And there were easily a couple dozen test subjects for this "experiment" ranging in ages from probably 8 years old to 70 years old. Now I understand the whole "never talk to strangers" lectures that we all get from our parents when we're younger so I can see why the little ones not saying anything fits...and I might understand a little bit more if I were running alone and all of the people I passed and said hi to were women who didn't want to make any sort of contact (which is sad that this is even an issue, but it is what it is). But I was running with my girlfriend...and I even had my shirt on!

Your homework is to wave and say hello to at least 5 people that you have never met before.

Do You Know Anyone With Any Of These Life-Threatening Diseases?

TUESDAY, APRIL 10TH, 2012
Open Class 11:00am / 3:00pm / 4:30pm / 5:30pm

The list of autoimmune diseases is relatively vast expanding to over 80 diseases. Check out the list below and see if you know anyone with any of these conditions. Chances are you do. Chances are it's controllable if not curable. Chances are they haven't been cured yet and if an attempt has been made it has probably only made them worse. Chances are you actually know how to do it yourself...read AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE

Paleo Grocery Shopping On A Budget And ...

TUESDAY, APRIL 3RD, 2012
Open Class 4:30pm / 5:30pm

This might be interesting for those of you trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle on a budget. On the surface, yes, eating clean looks a whole heck of a lot cheaper than eating junk but when we get down to it eating clean may pay off in dividends in the long run. Furthermore, it may actually be just as inexpensive on a day-to-day basis as well. Check it out...PALEO GROCERY SHOPPING ON A BUDGET.

Also, while I was cruising around Robb Wolf's new and improved website I found a blog post that hits home having dealt with this issue with several of my friends and clients in the past with astounding success. Just read the article and you'll know what I'm talking about. HOW NUTRITION AFFECTS ...???

Man! It's like this stuff really works!
