Iron Riders Dallas Cycling Club This Christmas we saw a slew of people buying "Hoveboards".  "Hoverboards are self-balancing scooter boards that allow you to move about with minimum effort. No cardio here folks, not much strength or fitness gained.  What is your "Hoverboard"? What is preventing you from being active or being more active?  We all have them.  We all have those areas in our lives that prevent us or blocks us from doing what we need to do to be healthy. My challenge to you... Resolve to ditch your "Hoverboard" to eat healthier and exercise more!  I am proclaiming 2016 is your year...your year of health!  Cycling is one way to ditch your "Hoverboard" and get started on a path to fitness.  Get back to the fun days of your childhood when you and your buddies would hop on your two wheels and just take off for the day.  Stopping only at someones garden hose to get a drink of water to cool off.   Having fun and staying fit...

Triathletes cannot live by swim, bike, run training alone.  To be successful as a triathlete you have to add another discipline... strength training.    There are many benefits to strength training.  Help prevent injury Increase performance Become stronger by increasing muscle mass Improve bone density slowing down bone loss Improve overall quality of life For many reasons athletes neglect this area in their training routine. Some may feel strength training is only for the elite, others may feel they have to have special equipment or belong to a gym or they may not know where to start.     Strength training is for everyone, not just the elite.  If you walk this earth you can benefit from some form of strength training.  You do not need special equipment, you would be surprised the results you can get from using a yoga mat and your own body weight.  Squats Side Lunges Planks Crunches Push-ups Check out t...

It is 3:30 in the morning and I am Listening to a video of my daughter playing her guitar.  The music is of one of my favorite songs by the Eagles Hotel California.  I have a few videos that I have taped of her and they have progressively gotten better.     http://youtu.be/VEkUojoyL8Y The sound of her playing the guitar gets me emotional  and as I listen to her I noticed she started to really feel the music.  I hold the phone to my ear and then I place it on my chest close to my heart.  I start to think  about everything that has happened tonight.  Emotion overcomes me.  Nothing is promised and nothing is guaranteed.  Life can be taken in a blink of an eye.   I start to think about losing my home.  I start to think about losing my family.  I start to think about how people are concerned and upset over the wrong things.  I start to think about how shallow, unconcerned and materialist some people have...

In an interview after winning the Dallas Marathon this weekend, Dr. Logan Sherman said it took him 15 years to get to this point...15 years!!!  Courtesy of Dallas Morning News Website Meb Keflezighi came to this country in 1987 with nothing and spoke no English. Worked HARD, graduated UCLA and 15 years later won the 2014 Boston Marathon.  Meb Kelflezighi and Coach K NBMA Dallas Summit 15 years of work they kept at it! There are people who want to give up after 15 minutes of trying because something is too hard.  Think about it... Meb Keflezighi will tell you none of his successes came easy. His determination and faith got him through his challenges but he kept moving forward.  Dr Logan Sherman said "I want kids to look at this today and come out here in years to come and this be their goal," he said. "It might take them 15 years to do it but they'll do it." So no matter how long it takes and if you want it bad enough do what ...
