Days *6/7*
Two days of desk work before some time off. Back to the chair that’s my home for too many hours in a day…
how’d I do?
You know, the flexibility is where I felt the best. So I did that on the last 2 days, since I got the most out of those exercises. I think [...]

Well, I’ve committed to this, so I had to find a way to integrate this with my crazy weekend [...]

Day *3* – a travel day!
Heading to a conference friday morning by driving for three hours made  finding the time to do the challenge a challenge in itself.
how’d I do?
I probably shouldn’t have – but I did do some of the flexibility stretches while driving the car. Hey, it’s 401 – not like there’s anything [...]

Day *2*
how’d I do?
Well, I didn’t do what I set out to do – I had said I’d work on strength, but I actually shared the 15 minutes somewhat equally between strength and flexibility.
For the strength exercise, I did something I’d never tried before : wall push-ups. What are those? they look like this:

Ok – so yesterday was Day *1* of the challenge,
how’d I do?
I went to the Fit in 15 site and looked for something that would be good for someone who spent ENTIRELY too much time at a desk in front of a computer. In the flexibility section,I found some good exercises to do in the [...]

I’ve been invited by the Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA) to be part of a “blogger challenge” to help “promote active living and encourage Canadians to spend at least 15 minutes a day on physical activity”..
15 minutes? In a row? Sure why not!
What’s the challenge? I’ll let them tell you:
“Each blogger will ideally agree to 15 [...]

“Hot Men of Twitter” Calendar Update: 
I was all set to order one, to help support the cause… when I noticed that Zazzle thinks mailing a calendar to Canada is worth $13….for a grand total of nearly $30!
So let’s work this out :

Calendar $15.95
Shipping $ 12.98
Total $28.93

For $29 spent, the charity gets less than $7? F-that.
Tell [...]

My buddy Dave Delaney pinged me a little while ago to see if I’d like to help with a good cause. Apparently he needed pictures of hot twitter men for a good cause.  I’m all about trying to help, so before he either sobered up or changed his mind, I sent a picture, and now [...]
