Improved Goal Setting – Not Everyone Needs to Lose Weight

By: Fitz Koehler on May 22, 2013

Not everyone needs to lose weight. It’s a surprising bit of information many fitness professionals and companies seem to ignore. I recently lead an 8 Week Corporate Fitzness Challenge for a large company and many of the employees taking part were surprised when I didn’t really ask or require them to lose weight. In fact, I didn’t set any...

Rock Your Run – 3 Exercises That Will Strengthen Your Stride

By: Jess Anderson on May 15, 2013

I recently read the book, Born To Run which is about an injury prone runner who sets out to discover the running secrets of the Tarahumara, a Mexican Indian tribe of the world’s greatest long distance runners, aka “the running people”, who run 50-100 miles at a time for pure enjoyment, seemingly without breaking a sweat. It was an...

How to Eat Healthy – Even if You Have Kids

By: Fitz Koehler on May 13, 2013

If I had a dollar for every time people came to me asking for weight loss advice, but then told me "they couldn't eat healthy because they have kids" ... I'd be a zillionaire. They say that they "have" to keep junk for in the house for the kids. Well, who the heck thinks fried chips, sugary sodas and...

Entertaining Your Mind While You Run Without Music

By: Cristina Ramirez on May 10, 2013

I don’t run with music. You cannot use any device in a triathlon, and I am training for an IronMan so I might as well get used to it. Also, as I wrote in my article "The Safety Aspects of Running", it is safer to run without headsets so that you can be aware of your surroundings,...

By: Amanda Loudin on May 8, 2013

I've been running for about 15 years, which means my running pre-dates Garmins and other GPS devices. Which means that I had to learn to run without any type of device beeping my mile paces along the way. I consider this an advantage, actually, and to this day only use the Garmin when I am running specific tempo runs. There...

By: Jess Anderson on May 6, 2013

Five years ago this month, I started training for my first triathlon with a cheap Wal-Mart bike, an old pair of sneakers, leaky goggles, a borrowed wetsuit that was way too big and a whole lot of determination. I may have not had any idea what I was doing as I followed my “make-it-up-as-I-go” training plan but I believed...

Phi Delta Chi 5K Run/Walk

By: Zach Freeman on May 3, 2013

Small races can be hit or miss. As can inaugural races. So when registering for a small inaugural race you just cross your fingers and hope for the best. And though the weather didn't necessarily cooperate on Sunday morning for the first Phi Delta Chi 5K Run/Walk, the group of UIC pharmacy students who coordinated it pulled off an...

How To Get Toned At Home – 8 Of My Favorite Pieces Of Home Fitness Equipment

By: Jess Anderson on May 1, 2013

Before I married my husband, who is a Personal Trainer, the thought of doing a home workout made me cringe. I had tried workout DVD’s but quickly got bored with them, and most of the time, I ended up just sitting on the couch watching them as if they were TV shows. Maybe it was fact that the couch...
