Weight Loss Obstacles – How To Avoid Weight Loss Burnout
Have you ever woke up one day, usually a Monday, and told yourself that this was the day you were going to start living a healthier lifestyle. The extra weight you are carrying is coming off and for good this time. You’re going to eat all the right foods and go to the gym loyally. You are feeling highly motivated and you’re ready to roll! How long did it last? Was it a month or two, a week or two, a day? You are not alone!
This is a very common problem, people don’t live up to their own expectations and then they dismiss it, usually by saying ‘I don’t have any will power’. So that’s it, you tell yourself you don’t have any will power and you let that excuse you from what you need to do to get it. The beginning stages of any exercise program are always the toughest. This is when people have the greatest fall off rate. Why? There are a few reasons. The biggest reason is that people do too much too soon.
Improve the Environment and Improve Your Health – It’s easier that you think
How often do we hear about global warming? Think about it, I don’t think a day goes by that the media is not putting this theory out there in one way or another. There are all kinds of theories on this topic. Regardless of whether or not you believe that there is a problem, hopefully we can agree that it simply makes sense to live less wastefully and conserve resources.

Top 5 Volleyball Tips For Improving Your Serve Receive
In girls volleyball the ability to serve receive or to “pass” the ball from an opponent’s serve is one of the most important volleyball skills to learn in order to play competitive indoor or sand volleyball games and tournaments.
You will quickly learn that what you do with your feet and lower body determines how well you will perform all volleyball fundamentals, skills and drills. That’s why I always start my coaching instructions and volleyball tips focusing on the correct positioning of the feet and lower body.
Feet
Your feet should be shoulder width apart in a comfortable balanced position with knees bent so that you are in a slight squat. Your feet should be slightly staggered so that your right foot is two-three inches in front of your left foot and you can move quickly in any direction.
The Mitchell Report
The Mitchell Report….
Have you heard about it?
It is a report the came out Thursday about the widespread use of steroids in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Disturbing news to say the least…
What bothers me and hopefully you as an athlete or parent is that it is not only in MLB.Unless you hibernate you are well aware that this happens in high school and college sports as well.
I have many friends who coach at the high school level and are well aware their athlete’s use them to get ready for the season. I also have too many friends who played college level sports and laugh about steroid use. ‘Everyone takes them. Even the girls’ is a comment from one buddy of mine.
They are aware of this, but do NOTHING about it.
Why?
We Can Make A Difference
We live in a strange time when it comes to sports. All too often when you turn on ESPN to get the latest sports news you are instead bombarded with the latest arrest reports and jail sentences for today’s athletes, not to mention all the talk of steroid usage. It’s a real shame, especially for our young people. There was a time when professional athletes were the heroes in our society. Those days are long gone and the heroes are few and far between. I fully understand that a professional athlete is paid to play the sport well and not to be someone for us to look up to, but still, it is nice when it happens.
