Lifestyle Changes Yield Big Results!

Read More

It's hard to believe that just a few years ago Peter Engwall tipped the scales at 300 plus lbs. After living a sedentary life for the first 30 something years, Peter decided to do something. Peter has shed 142 pounds and is now a slim 190.

Inspired by watching the reality TV show, "The Biggest Loser", and watching Bob Greene work with Oprah, Peter decided to take on his own wellness. Greene's Best Life program is simple and that is what appealed to Engwall. "The program is a lifestyle change, not a diet. You can ease into it, and it becomes natural."

Read More about Peter's story in this interview with Sweat365.com.

Traffic Pinch Points - A Hazard To Cyclists

Avatar for Karl On Sea

Pedestrian refuges / traffic islands - put there for your safety. On the one hand, they mean that pedestrians can cross roads one lane at a time. And drivers, get a greater perception of their speed, which hopefully means that they slow down. The trouble is, that there isn’t always room for a car AND a ... Read More »

Post run stretch

Camelbak hydration

Avatar for sorerunner

Is there anyone that runs with a Camelbak? The further I run and longer I am starting to realize that I could really use some type of hydration while running. However, I can’t stand to hold anything in my hands including my keys much less a water bottle. My question is if there is anyone ... Read More »
