All we have to do is make it more fun!?!?
Exercising has always been about letting my inner child loose. Remember the scene in "BIG" with Tom Hanks dancing on the keyboard in the toy store?
Time to start thinking of activity as fun and stop worrying about structure and routine. Just get out there and do what makes you happy!!

Lactate Threshold Work Outs - The Keys To Success
We're 7 weeks out from Silverman Triathlon www.slivermannv.com. I've been doing significantly more running this season than I have in past seasons. The reason being, my run sucks I have a squatty body with tree stump legs better suited to rugby than distance running. Triathlon is a swim, bike, run race not a swim bike race. That said, I want to improve my PR's (and run splits) therefore I need to attack my weaknesses.
To that end I start a 6 week series of lactate threshold track workouts this week. I learned this from my coach Frank Lowery www.lowerymultisports.com. These are painful (brutal really) sprint work outs that - moaning and groaning aside - are the key to success in terms of improving run times, efficiency & strength.
If your in Henderson NV on Thursday mornings between now and October 22nd - drop by the track at Green Valley HS and join me.
Here's what the work outs look like.
Each session begins and ends with 1.5mi warm up / 1.5mi cool down + stretching
3 x 50 yd strides + 2 x 100 yd strides - these start slow and build to sprint pace and help transition the body into fast run mode
Main set. - these are run at 90% to 95% of max effort. The key is constancy - 1st lap as fast as last lap, focus is on form and pace - creating muscle memory and mental toughness. Rest interval is half the distance run (run 200 cool down 100 and so on)
Week 1. 2 x 100 6 x 200, 1 x 400 (1800)
Week 2. 2 x 200, 3 x 400 2 x 200 (2000)
Week 3. 1 x 200, 1 x 400, 1 x 600, 1 x 600, 1 x 400, 1 x 200 (2400)
Week 4. 1 x 400, 2 x 800, 2 x 400 (2800)
Week 5. 1 x 400, 1 x 800, 1 x 1200, 1 x 800, 1 x 400 (3600)
Week 6 3 x 1600 (4800)
These are my work outs - yours may vary of course.
Last spring I used this series to set PR's in my 5k, 10K & 1/2 marathon races.
For the last two years I've taken 3rd place in my division at Silverman (last year I shaved 44 min of my overall time and still I took 3rd). In 2009 I'm looking for redemption.

Obesity Effects Your Love Life Too
I could have told you this years ago (based on personal experience). Being overweight puts a damper on the love life (among other things). The Swedish Karolinksa Institute reports; Men who are "severely overweight" have a markedly decreased likelihood of getting married compared to men of "normal" weight.
The study seems to carry empirical validity as it followed 500,000 men from as far back as the mid 1950's. Men identified as overweight in their early adulthood where up to 45% less likely to be married in their 30's and 40's. While men without excess weight issues did not demonstrate decreased marriage rates.
And if that isn't enough to get you off the couch and into a fat burning work out program. The study made strong inferences about a womens preference for men - they are increasingly paying more attention to, and making spousal selections based on physical appearance than other factors.
See, exercise and proper nutrition have benefits beyond just living longer, you can be happier too.
