Fitness for Life

A few years back, I wrote the “Fitness for Life” column for Pennsylvania Health and Fitness Magazine. I composed a total of about 90 articles over the course of my journalistic career. It was a great way for me to practice the art of reflection, and I like to think it provided some degree of insight and inspiration for the readers.

Similar to my other writings, the basic premise of “Fitness for Life” was that with a little reflection, health and fitness experiences can lead to life lessons. The trick is to learn how to reflect effectively, and to make it a habit. With practice your brain will start to see new lessons and connections in even the simplest things, illuminating your experience of life.

Here are some favorite musings from my article archives.
