		<description><![CDATA[It’s time to get “beach ready” as the temperature starts to heat up this spring. If you feel that you are really pushing yourself with each workout but aren’t seeing any results, you need to change the speed, duration or intensity of your workout. All of these components are key to training different muscle groups and increasing your stamina.  Follow our daily workout plan to get the body you want in time for summer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Courtney Walberg - February is “Heart Month” and it’s time to get your cardiovascular system in shape and ready for that special someone on Valentine’s Day!  It is a day filled with chocolate, sweets, and treats, but remember that it’s only one day, not an entire month. Stay focused on the goals that you made in January and commit to keeping them throughout 2011. Your goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and accomplished within a specific, designated time frame. Remember, being an active individual will make you more focused, confident, determined, and subsequently more successful.  Sounds like a win-win to us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[G. John Mullen, DPT 2011 - Whether yours are large or small, everyone is familiar with the pectoral muscles (not to be confused with breast tissue).  Regardless of their size, they are an area of both admiration and concern for all genders...and an area that no one wants to injure!  Lucky for us, pectoral tears and strains are as uncommon as a gringo in Shanghai (trust us, we know).  These injuries are bothersome and painful and, unfortunately, can be overlooked if without proper screening by a professional.  Historically, pectoral tears were work related.  Hop in your Delorian and travel back to a time in which we performed infinitely more manual labor.  Imagine tearing your pectoral muscle while moving a giant hanging calf carcass...not fun.  Nowadays, pectoral injuries are caused by 1) sports injury (typically football or basketball when the arm is in extension and externally rotated or 2) the ever popular bench press (performed improperly 90% of the time; a trip to 24 Hour Fitness makes us cringe!).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[G. John Mullen, DPT 2011 - Go to any gym across the country and you're likely to find quite the variety of folks "getting their workout on."  You may notice a couple Tara Reid doppelgangers on the stair stepper who appear to have been there for the past 12 hours, a cluster of guys wearing 1980’s style muscle shirts swarming around the bench press, a few big-boned characters “jogging” on the treadmill and, last but not least, a smattering of normal folk trying to stay in shape.  You can’t help but wonder, “What motivates these people to exercise day in and day out?”  Is it pure physical gains? Psychological?  Neuro-chemical?  Social?  The answer is probably a combination of all of the above.  Of note, however, is the psychological effect of exercise.  We’ve all experienced the endorphin-rich high after a good workout.   What if we harnessed that positive feeling…could it help with depression?  This simplistic yet promising thought has to have crossed the mind of a psychiatrist somewhere.in the world.  Well, it turns out is has.  We decided to hit the textbooks and scientific journals to get to the bottom of the issue.]]></description>

Life is about rising to the challenge. The more you try, the greater the chance to succeed. “Functional fitness” is exercise that trains you using movements from your daily life and subsequently improves your performance. One important note is that you do not need [...]]]></description>

The best way to fight sports related injuries is to avoid them entirely. According to a report published in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 70% of ACL injuries occur when players are pivoting or landing awkwardly after a jump. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Courtney Walberg - The July and August Training programs focused on a variety of different exercises including cardio, core, resistance, strength and agility exercises, will leave you feeling fit and fast.  This month, we are going to bring you exercises to keep that summer swim body as the fall rolls in. We will focus on your core musculature, which includes 29 muscles total.  Chronic low back pain affects 85% of the U.S., which is largely attributed to a weak or inefficient core. It is vital to strengthen your core as this is your center of gravity and your central point for movement.]]></description>
