As I stated in a previous post, my body has been ACHING from day after day of competitive volleyball. My lower back and hamstrings have been especially sore after each match, and even worse after each tournament. I have to admit that I haven’t been very good about stretching both before and after playing. I…
Oh, yeah. I love it so much that I used to coach it! (Photo by Christopher Anderson⁄The Gazette) About two months ago, I hosted a potluck for my USAV (USA Volleyball) women’s team, Spiked Punch. (What can I say? Volleyball players love puns!) As an icebreaker, I asked everyone why they like volleyball. There were some…

You see, there was this thing I heard about called CrossFit. I’d heard it was performed in a box or a cage, or something else intimidating-sounding.

The recipe has great flavor, though I would suggest using half the salt, if not…

There’s been quite a bit of buzz lately about the collision of the worlds of technology and fitness. For example, this week, Under Armour purchased MapMyFitness (an awesome app I started drafting a review of weeks ago).

I’ve always found it to be helpful for me to put my goals down in writing. I realized that I should treat my fitness goals the same as any other goals I’m currently working on. November is an easy month to lose track of fitness goals. Thanksgiving is one of the main reasons, but there…
