    Dog bite statistics

    I will tell you my experiences running in my neighborhood for 24 years when it comes to dog bites. Big dog's scare you and those little dogs...they will bite!! I have been scared by the biggest and bit by the smallest. My opinion is for the most part it is the way a dog is trained as to see how...

    Looking for a good DVD player - any recommendations?

    I have a Sony 5 disc DVD player that I love. I often use more than one DVD when I work out so this makes it easier and you don't have to stop and change out the DVD all the time. This player is also great for A-Jock's killer mish-moshes...:D

You might not sleep so well the night before (I never do!) so make sure you get in enough rest 2 days before the...

    Foam roller users

    I use an 18 inch one and I feel it works well. I like to just use one leg at a time for calf's and hamstrings. It also maneuver's around well...:)
