Hi everybody, I work from home which means I'm entirely too close to the fridge and can find lots of excuses for not going to the gym. My husband loves Oreos but wouldn't touch a them if I slapped a fat free sticker on the package and my child would kill for mac & cheese. In spite of them, I still manage to find treats and cook meals that are healthy and incorporate a wide range of...

Prostate cancer survivor. Did you know... Prostate cancer is diagnosed in an estimated 80% of men before they reach age 80. Not even doctors agree on the 'best' treatment for prostate cancer.

Certified as a Personal Trainer by the NSCA since 1999. Love to work with people who need help in losing weight and learning how to exercise.

I'm in the 5th year of my graduate study at Stanford, working on a PhD in Mechanical Engineering. My research is on electric space propulsion devices. I have a total of roughly 9 years of karate training, but with a large gap in the middle.

My background is in Isshinryu karate. I write from a broad perspective, and value all aspects of the martial arts.

I enjoy mixed martial arts (MMA). I used to play football and wrestle in high school. After high school, I played soccer for a while but came back to wrestling.... then I got lazy... real lazy and became a foodie. Now I am getting back into sports and have started with a personal trainer and learning mixed martial arts. MMA is a combination of wrestling, jiujitsu, boxing and muay thai (...

Racquetball woman!!! I work out everyday -- 4 times a week I play racquetball, 3 times a week. I kick box, turbo box and take a strong class. I eat healthy and learn everything I can about staying fit and young. I study everything that deals with helping my friends, family and me. If I can help others, all the better. I am in the spirit of play -- let's create and have a blast doing it.
