Mr. Healthy Mondays: The perfectly packed travel bag

Due to weather issues in New Orleans and some AVP announcements, we took a week off from posting. I wrote this article before the New Orleans tournament.

Mr Healthy Mondays: Foodie Edition Baked Pasta

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good Easter and enjoyed a bit of candy, but not too much ☺ I caught my wife letting our son eat some candy with a friend of his.  I didn’t jump in and take it away.  No, I’m not the meanest dad in the world.  However, my son…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Conservation

I was racking my brain thinking what I should write about this week.  I kept telling myself, “I don’t feel like recycling an old topic, I’d like to write about something new.”  That’s when it hit me, I should write something about recycling and reducing our impact on the planet and consuming a little smarter. …

Mr Healthy Mondays: Try a little harder to be a little better

It’s a question I get frequently from players and fans both wanting the same thing: better results. We all want to take care of our bodies, but I feel like I have gotten very consistent objections throughout the years as to why someone can’t.  They include, “I don’t have time, I don’t have the money,…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Building Muscle

Just because that guy at the gym who looks like a tank is drinking down 3 scoops of protein powder before he gets to his car, doesn’t mean that’s how you build muscle. Like everything else that happens in your body, building muscle is a science as well.  Everyone is different, sure, but there are…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Endurance

Happy Monday!  This week’s column, though short and to the point is actually very appropriate for the time of year.  I am full into my pre-season training routine at the gym.  Whether you play volleyball, another sport, or are already thinking about that 2015 summer beach body, here are some tips and additions to consider…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Weight Loss Tips

Building on last week’s article, I want to just jump in to some really good information. One of the things I hear a lot from people I work with is, “Wow, I never knew that” or “I haven’t heard it put that way before.” A health concept that isn’t really promoted much is that we…
