Workout causing you calluses or hand tears? No problem!

I had struggled with ripped hands for a couple of years during my workouts.  It happens because the calluses that form on your hands, keep pushing up until the skin tears away from the hand.  It turns out that there's a simple solution that works remarkably well.  I'm not saying that you will never have another hand tear, but it drastically reduces the chance.

Travel to North Korea, would you do it if you could?

Last week North Korea declared a new dictator, Kim Jung-Un.  It's believed that he was born in 1984, but nobody really knows.  That's the same year I was born.  That's a crazy thought.  I think I'm glad that I will not be declared a dictator anytime soon.

I'm not too big on new years resolutions, especially when they come to fitness. I feel like you should always take care of yourself and make fitness a lifestyle.

Wheeling Island, WV: What kind of person would want to spend New Years here?

Gambling and casinos are not the first thing that you would think of when you think of West Virginia. Believe it or not, Wheeling Island Casino and Gambling Resort is actually kind of a happening place during the turn of the new year. But why? Perhaps its that there is nothing else to do within a 30 mile radius of the dingy run down town of Wheeling, WV. Feeding dollar bills into one armed bandits and pretending to know what you're doing while betting on greyhound dogs is satisfying...Right?
