  About a year and half ago, Jen Knuth stopped me as I was coming back in from a run around the block during a FITT-RX class to let me know that I had “won the raffle.” I barely remembered that I had entered a raffle and had no idea what I had won. When...Read More

Distracted By Talent How often do you hear someone say, “But I’m not naturally gifted…” or “If I only had more natural athletic ability, working out would be easier for me…”? It is easy to be discouraged when we see others in the gym or at our office that seem to have a God-given skill...Read More

I don’t know about you, but in my house, summer is somehow way crazier than the school year.

  FINDING YOUR CRAZY A few years ago I met a childhood friend for lunch. Like all of us over the years he had changed, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally, as well. His passion for working out and his new-found love of racing was contagious. I listened intently to all the adventures he...Read More

  Most people don’t understand why I workout so much and restrict my diet.  I’ve been told it’s not that important, it runs your life, it’s too much of a priority over other things and so on.   While I take great pride in my commitment to health, I do find myself questioning if they’re right. ...Read More

As you wipe the sweat from your forehead for the final time and the instructor says class is over, you feel accomplished and tired.
