ike you, I look around the web to find new information and if something strikes me as sharing worthy, you’ll find it in the Roundup posts.
One topic I like to research and share are nutrition myths, for example, does alcohol reduce metabolism by 30% (hint, no.)
Another thing you’ll see on the Roundup Pages are recipes. Yeah, there’s a full category of recipes but those are recipes created by myself or a friend. On the Roundups, it’s recipes I’ve found somewhere else that catch my eye, like this great One Pot Pasta recipe that I loved.
Other than Roundups, you’ll also find original content that doesn’t fit into clean categories like “Physical Fitness“. You’re obviously on this site because you, like me, strive continuously for self improvement and here are the little tips that can help. Want to improve your life once a year, at new years?? Don’t do it!
Dig in. This is a wildcard and who know what great nuggets you’ll find.
Here I am, home in San Francisco again!
Yeah, I’ve fallen behind in working on the site and the social media for the last two weeks or so, but that’s what moving across country can do. After three years in Atlanta, I’m back in my home, the lovely (and surrounded by water) San Francisco.
I’m also back at the same training location

We’re rounding up the week with videos!
As part of the constant work it takes to get people to know your website/blog exists, you spend a whole lot of time on various social media outlets. Recently I increased my list of places to have a presence to include Google+ and Stumbleupon. In doing so, I discovered that when I comment on a video

In fact, if you haven’t, you haven’t been working out hard enough.
But were you aware that there is a difference in the experience of being short of breath between men and women? Yeah, me neither.

Oh the joy of doing backend work only you notice.
Last week I didn’t post a Roundup, as I had spent most of the week working on more behind the scenes stuff. Lots if work improving the Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest pages. One thing I’m consistently doing is reading up on improving this site and sometimes that means going backwards and reeling work I’ve already done that just wasn’t what I could be.

The biotech companies have continuously said that genetically engineered crops are completely safe for human consumption. But they steadfastly oppose the labeling of products that contain GMOs. That’s probably because they know the majority of Americans (82% to 85%) wouldn’t purchase foods that contain GMOs.

Last week when I was working at the Pilates Method Alliance Conference in Ft. Lauderdale, I met a trainer, Maria Scally, who lives in Miami and checked youtube pages. Her training motto is “Get groovy, get sweaty, any time, any place.” She travels the world making fun short videos showing a couple of different exercises. This one in particular REALLY caught my attention. Talk about a position of instability! Check out her fun videos.

Just four more days until I get to Ft. Lauderdale!
And I cannot wait. If you know anything about Atlanta, you know it is surrounded by a ring highway. This divides the general Atlanta are into ITP and OTP (Inside the Perimiter & Outside the Perimiter). Well I have not been OTP since April of 2012! Entirely too long.

It’s my birthday and I’ll blog if I want to.
Hey everyone. I hope y’all had a good full first week of fall. Yup, it’s my birthday this week. How old am I? For a flower I am ancient, for a mountain I have not yet begun, for a man, I am just right.

Happy Friday everyone. I hope your week was fun and healthy.
This is is the first of a new regular feature. What have I been reading and commenting on this week? Here are a few of the things that really caught my attention this week.
I have no shame in admitting this: this isn’t my original idea at all.
I went to the Bodies Exhibit today. It’s something I’ve wanted to check out for a while. Being a total body nerd, it was interesting. I definitely liked checking out all the muscles and really getting a good look at them. Here are some of my notes…
