A Paleo Challenge Motivates Steve to Get Healthy

Posted September 10th, 2012 by

Food for thought: nutrition is paramount to optimal health and fitness. Whether it’s Zone, GOMAD, primal, or paleo, for better or for worse, I have witnessed the contagiousness of diet in many athletic communities: it’s mentioned, it peeks interest, it drives experimentation.

What is the Paleo Diet?

Posted September 29th, 2011 by
