12-mile bike ride on 12-12-12 @ 12:12 PM

To celebrate 12-12-12, come ride 12 miles on the SART at 12:12 PM. Looking for 11 other riders to join me so we can at least have 12 people riding. (More is ok!) Then we'll enjoy lunch at Souplantation afterwards. Start from our usual spot behind Souplantation & Hall of Records. For more info or to contact: 909-747-5935.

Exercise protects even if obese!

11-16-12: Another study just came out showing that exercise protects even if one is overweight or obese. This may be a big wake-up call to those who are in the "healthy BMI range" (below 25) but are inactive 'couch potatoes" because they die at 2x the rate than overweight execisers. Exercising has a protective effect against even other risk factors. To read more about this study, check out this link here.

Make your treadmill workout like outside...

11-16-12: We know that running on the treadmill is "easier" than running outside at the same speed. So how do you compensate? Some researchers found that setting your treadmill at 3% incline will mimic running on flat, windless, conditions outside. You can read more about it in this Men's Health article.
