Core Stabilization Exercises-Basics

Last week a friend of mine Jeff Evans recorded me as I introduced a basic lower back stabilization routine. This grouping of exercises is intended to help form a strong platform for movement while protecting the delicate structures of the lower back from wear and tear. Whether you are an athlete or not, these exercises are a great start to forming a strong foundation of back health. For those of you who are part of 5th Avenue Fitness in downtown Olympia, you'll recognize the group fitness room where lots and lots of great things happen!

Giving Back to the World Through Cycling

I've often wondered about different ways to give back to the community through cycling. Lance Armstrong has laid a strong foundation for this through his work for the cancer community. Recently I learned about The Bahati Foundation that was formed by Rahsaan Bahati, the most successful African-American cyclist of our time. I'm intrigued by his mission and look forward to seeing it prosper and fulfill its mission.
