Nice site here on hand health. You may want something simple like a stronger grip but training grip only leads to imbalanced hands and raises the potential for injury so like it or not, you have to train the hands in all kinds of different ways.

Interesting article here on the importance of glute strength and there are several tests you can do to find which stretches / exercises you need to balance your glutes / hip flexors / etc.

Interesting article here that makes a strong case for doing 1 leg squats because these involve more muscles and are more functional than traditional squats.

Also mentions 1 leg straight leg deadlifts and slideboard leg curls (which seem to require some fancy equipment I’ve never seen before).

I found this old New York Times article by accident. It talks about how Male hormone replacement therapy or testosterone therapy has been around for over a century (although back in the day they would put ram testicles in men) and how we haven’t really done research to see how safe and effective it is.

That was in 2002. I’m not sure what (if any) research has been done since then. Does testosterone help reduce the aging process in men? And if it does, is it really necessary consideri9ng guys like Willie Gault and Jack LaLanne who are doing fine with “just” exercise and diet?

Many new mommas are eager to lose the baby weight shortly after baby is born and want to know, “When is it safe to workout?”  Doctors recommend waiting until after your first postpartum appointment which is 4-6 weeks after birth.  I recommend that you listen to your body.  If you’re feeling good, had minimal blood loss and tearing, you may feel up for a walk.  On the other hand some women may feel really low energy, and or experienced excessive blood loss and tearing and should wait even longer to exercise.  The key again is to listen to your body, and regardless of your experience start off slow–like with a low-moderate pace walk, then work your way back to where you left off.
