The BodyCraft SpaceWalker – A Creative Approach to Fitness

The Baseball Storyteller

When people ask me “What is the most popular piece of fitness equipment?” I answer, without a doubt, a treadmill.  Walking is the most natural form of exercise.  We do it everyday – at school, from job to job, in the city or in the suburbs.  So, for a novice exerciser or someone that has been sedentary for awhile, walking on a treadmill is a great exercise option.  Treadmills are used for conditioning the heart and lungs and to help strengthen the legs and core muscles of the body.  There are a ton of great manufacturers with a wide range of … Continue reading The BodyCraft SpaceWalker – A Creative Approach to Fitness

The Baseball Storyteller

I love catching up with Cindy Wilson to learn about her amazing Profundo Journey Workshops, which take place here in the United States and in the most incredible corners of the world.  In fact, Cindy greeted me with a more traditional Vietnam handshake with perfect bow.  Why, because Cindy is heading out next week for an exciting Profundo Journey to Vietnam and Cambodia.   After meeting her husband, John and her fluffy dog, Hank, we sat down to chat about another very intriguing area of the world, Cuba. Before I could turn my notebook open, Cindy started out by saying … Continue reading Cindy Wilson Photography and Her Profundo Workshop Journeys to Cuba

The Baseball Storyteller

Inversion Therapy is often defined as hanging upside or at an inverted angle while being suspended or hanging by the ankles, lower leg, or feet for therapeutic purposes.  Those therapeutic purposes may include stretching or decompressing the spine or spinal traction in some cases.  There are a number of forms of inversion therapy, with gravity boots and inversion tables being two of the more common methods.  Inversion tables give the user much more range of starting points and are typically easier to use for a wider range of the population. An inversion table, like the Health Gear model shown in … Continue reading Inversion Therapy with the Health Gear Inversion Table

When NBA Stars Decide to Rest, The Fans Lose Big Time

The Baseball Storyteller

The Boston Celtics lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers this past week 114-91.  LeBron James played 38 minutes and score 36 points, grabbed nearly 10 rebounds and had 6 assists.  Another great performance by one of this generation’s most outstanding players.  I didn’t attend that game, nor will I pay to go see another NBA game for the foreseeable future.  And here is my reasoning: A management or coach’s decision to rest a certain player during a regular season game in 2014, which I paid full price for, has left a bad taste in my mouth and an empty hole in … Continue reading When NBA Stars Decide to Rest, The Fans Lose Big Time

Great Deals On Bicycle Clothing, Gear, and Accessories

The Baseball Storyteller

Spring season is just about a month away.  The warmer weather of springtime motivates people to get outdoors, especially cyclists.  Active cyclists count the days until the snow and ice are gone so they can enjoy the best scenery in Rhode Island and surrounding areas.  This is also a great time to take inventory of your bicycle, your bike gear, and accessories. I have just taken in a nice inventory of bike apparel and accessories.  All items are either new in packaging or new out of box and have never been used.  This inventory was from a local bike store … Continue reading Great Deals On Bicycle Clothing, Gear, and Accessories
