Nutrition on the Go

Nutrition on the Go
Although preparing your own meals is usually preferable to eating out due to having more control over the ingredients and preparation methods, the fact is most people will eat out on a regular basis.  In order to help you make the best choices you can in a fast paced imperfect world, I offer you these tips for "Nutrition on the Go".  read more


TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Jacksonville Forest Park Hike and a Pushup/Plank Workout
This afternoon I introduced my granddaughter to the J-Ville Forest Park trails.  It was definitely a relaxed hike for me, but for Hailey it was an adventure (ok, it was an adventure for me too).  We spent 2.5 hrs on the trail, and at least an hour of it was in the creek bed of Norling Creek eating lunch, climbing over and around rocks, boulders and fallen trees and limbs on about a 50 yard stretch of the creek.....we went up stream, then downstream, then upstream again and downstream again.  The creek was really nothing more than a trickle, but there were tiny waterfalls that she loved, and several pools where water skippers were doing their magical walking on water.  We also saw several types of beetles, dragonflies, lizards, squirrels, butterflies, birds, and even a fox on the access road as we were leaving.
Yeah, life is good!
Later, in the evening, I pieced together a workout of pushups, planks and crunches.

With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
