Not Resolutions… But Resoluteness Part 3

By admin | Published: January 29, 2010

Well maybe one more shot on this topic… The state of resoluteness I believe requires organizing your mind and then your life. It isn’t the frantic drop everything and do “this” notion. That won’t last. It’s the careful consideration of the things that are really important to you and the idea that no matter what [...]

Not Resolutions…But Resoluteness Part 2

By admin | Published: January 26, 2010

Lets continue with some thoughts on overcoming the “resolution trap.” The second big problem in most people’s New Year’s Resolutions is that they are drastic. Most skip any sense of building up to a big goal and seek to climb Mt. Everest the first day out. Most also require their walker to make large scale, [...]

The first is they don’t really represent what [...]

Make Your Own T Handle Kettlebell

By admin | Published: January 15, 2010

I’ve been talking about kettlebells a lot here recently and for good reason. They’re great tools for building strength and endurance.
