A couple years back back, I had a feature here called #FitGeekFriday. It was pretty cool, I thought, and I’ve kind of missed doing it. So I am reviving #FitGeekFriday into a fitnessy, mindful, hodge-podge of cool stuff I’ve found....

Ahoy, fitgeeks! Today is a special episode of Health Hacks because it's not an episode of Health Hacks at all! I appeared on the super-awesome Dumbbells and Dragons podcast this week, and I wanted to make sure that all of you who...

Happy Hallowgeek!
