The Consequences of an Active Lifestyle.

September 11, 2005

Unfortunately, all was not wine and roses during our holiday trip. One of the unfortunate consequences of performing recreational activities is that, particularly with extreme sports, there is a high likelihood of injury.

Here’s wishing the Love of My Life a very public and embarassing Happy Birthday.
P.S. – I apologize for [...]

What’s With All the SuperSlow Posting Lately?

June 12, 2005

Francisco had a clipping from last Wednesday’s Metro newspaper that was about TimeLabsNY, a SuperSlow facility in Hell’s Kitchen (it used to be in the Financial District but was moved).
The first thing that I thought to myself was, “This is in the same newspaper that featured the ‘Tire-flipping-as-exercise-modality’ facility just two weeks ago. Good.”

June 8, 2005

Taking me up on today’s challenge, Asher Levitsky puts up a couple of sets of squats at 365.
Ok, half-squats. And they were part of his workout with Coach Ebers today anyway. But it is still quite an impressive feat. And make no bones about it, those are 3 45’s and a 25 [...]

A Great Slogan, But It Was Stolen.

June 3, 2005

I’m stealing and rephrasing from an entry on the Crossfit message board (must give credit where it’s due, no matter what the source):
Strength training is doing something really hard for 20-40 minutes a week so the rest of your life is easy.
Of course not everyone strength trains using the protocol I do, and that’s perfectly [...]

For Love of Snowboarding

May 8, 2005

I think, at long last, I am over it – the demise of the 2004-2005 snowboarding season. We all had an extremely productive season this year: Our friends Ronen, Dr. Warden, and Nikita improved their abilities tremendously, my wife and brother-in-law learned some new tricks, and I even learned a thing or two.
