Study: Regular Jogging Increases Longevity
Tomorrow is “Bloomsday” here in Spokane. No… it’s not the literary version (celebrated on June 16th in honor of James Joyce’s “Ulysses”), rather it’s something to do with lilacs (Spokane is nicknamed “Lilac City,” so I’ve read). At any rate, “Bloomsday” features a 12K run that attracts approx. 50,000 runners. That’s too many for me – I’m...
Zombies Liven Up 5K Races

We’re not finished yet, but the hard part (figuring out the basic look and functionality) is in the bag. So from...
Review: Strength Training Important for Seniors
Just finished scanning a new review published in Deutches Arzteblatt (in English, natch!) on the effects of strength training for older men and women. The list of benefits is pretty darned impressive: Increase in muscle strength, mass, and intra/intermuscular coordination Reduction of sarcopenia Adaptation of tendons/bones (increase in collagen synthesis/decrease in bone loss) Prevention of falls and injuries And the researchers...
