Thank You North Kingstown High School Seniors For Being You

The Baseball Storyteller

On a well above average temperature evening, I had a well above average experience at my Alma Mater, North Kingstown High School.  I had the distinct honor of judging a group of North Kingstown High School senior project presentations.  Myself and three other judges were one group of many who had the privilege of being chosen for this very important night.  These senior projects are a required assignment for these seniors to graduate.  Most spend the entire year preparing documents, digital files, and other materials to complete their project and ultimately, graduate with their class.   6 wonderful and talented … Continue reading Thank You North Kingstown High School Seniors For Being You

Over the past several months, I have been blessed to host some of North Kingstown’s talented youth musicians in a number of benefit shows.  These shows showcase the very talented singers, guitar players, piano players, and musicians that live and go to North Kingstown schools.  And, each show has a benefit theme.  The first show raised over $200 for North Kingstown Special Olympics.  The second and most recent show benefited the Pennies for Patients fundraiser that helps support the Rhode Island Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  The shows are all upbeat, feature some amazing musical talents, and are a great way … Continue reading NK Teen Musicians To Play Benefit Show At Wickford Harbor Lights

The Cybex PG 400 Multi Gym – A Best in Class Fitness Machine

The Baseball Storyteller

For the busy professional and/or parent who loves to work out at the gym, a personal home gym has always been a great option.  For years, homeowners have cleared out their garage or basement to make room for a piece of strength equipment that will get them results like the smith machine, strength circuit or functional trainer at the gym.  Space, ceiling height, and the overall strength training experience are often times the greatest challenges for the homeowner who purchases strength equipment for their home.  In my 20 plus years of selling fitness equipment, I believe there is one personal … Continue reading The Cybex PG 400 Multi Gym – A Best in Class Fitness Machine

The Precor Stretch Trainer – Flexibility Training Done Right

The Baseball Storyteller

According to WebMd (www.webmd.com) the definition of flexibility in fitness is “the ability to move joints through a range of motion.”  For most exercisers, flexibility training takes a back seat to more popular forms of training such as cardio, strength, and sports conditioning training.  However, without flexibility in fitness, performance goals for running, bench press, catching a fly ball, or even tying your shoes can be much harder to achieve.  Incorporating flexibility into your exercise routine is a positive step to a healthier you. For years, Precor Fitness has manufactured a compact stretching bench called the Precor Stretch Trainer.  This … Continue reading The Precor Stretch Trainer – Flexibility Training Done Right

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

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.

Inversion Therapy with the Health Gear Inversion Table

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
