The Truth About Kids and Resistance Training – I received a question the other day about whether resistance training was appropriate for kids, and I quickly “referred out”…to myself! I wrote this article up eight years ago and it’s still right on target.

The San Antonio Spurs, Made with 100 Percent Juice – This is a nice shoutout to Brian St. Pierre for his nutrition work with the Spurs.

Want a White Collar To-Do List? Start With Some Blue Collar Work – My business partner, Pete Dupuis, shares some insights on the entrepreneurial side of fitness.
