		<title>Incorporating One &#8220;Strong&#8221; Walk Into Your Running Schedule</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No this is not me preaching the "run/walk" method again, or selling Jeff Galloways programs, but only a sharing of my recent awareness of the benefits from incorporating a "strong" walk into your weekly schedule.   Strong is not about "speed" in this element, but about quality of movement. Activating the hip and abdominal muscles [...]]]></description>

		<title>And that&#8217;s not all&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received an excellent question from a VIP client (yes, you Bill) asking if keeping your toes straight during running was equally important as when walking to prevent low back pain.   I will tell you what I told him.  A resounding YES!!! When you walk or run with one or both feet “toed out”, you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Question: Should I stretch prior to exercising or after?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Answer:  I do not recommend stretching a cold muscle.  You will receive greater benefits in activating the muscles in which you are preparing to call on for your chosen form of exercise.  Consider this as a “waking up” period for the muscles that need to stabilize or drive you in your workout. If you have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yaktrax &#8220;ROCK&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past two years my patients have been bragging about how great these "Yaktrax" are for winter running, and knowing that I had been training for spring 1/2 marathons, they highly recommended making the investment in a pair of "yaks".   I have to say that I have not feared the cold temps during [...]]]></description>
