Get Your Exercise Bang for the Buck
Recently my brilliant spouse (I’ve got to say that, he took our daughters out shopping for mother’s day) showed me an exercise plan to maximize results from a minimal amount of time. Given how crazy hectic all of our lives are, I thought that sounded like a great idea. The program goes by many different [...]
Exercise, Nutrition and the LapBand
9. January 2009
Some of you may be wondering what some of my posts have to do with the LapBand. I don’t care about nutrition and exercise, you may say, if I cared about all that, I wouldn’t have needed a band in the first place! But the truth is the band is only a tool, a nuclear-level [...]
Exercise for Weight Loss III
7. January 2009
Okay, since I’m on an exercise roll, let me make another point. You will hear interested people argue whether “cardio” or “weight training” is better for weight loss. The answer is, both.

In our practice (including myself Dr. Ron Hekier, and my wife Dr. Rachael Keilin) we are learning as we go on.
