My Hammies Are Killing Me – Recovery Tactics

Posted by Jaison Naiker on September 6th, 2009

A couple of co-workers and I were over at Green Lake Park in Seattle throwing the football around. We’re getting ready for our flag football season which starts on the last weekend of September (we’re the defending Champs of the Underdog Seattle Sports Co-Ed Flag Football League).

New Core Exercise – The Superdog by Nick Tumminello

Posted by Jaison Naiker on September 4th, 2009

Strength Coach and personal trainer Nick Tumminello has come up with an awesome variation of the very popular Bird Dog exercise.

Healthy Grilled Chicken Recipe

Posted by Jaison Naiker on July 20th, 2009

OK, I have to admit, I stole this from my wife Amanda, who stole it from her parents. Amanda makes this *almost* as good as I do. Although, you can’t really mess it up

If you live in the Seattle area, there’s no better time to fire up the grill than the summer, although I’m known to use that thing all year round. Before I tell you the awesome chicken recipe I should give some idea on what you should get before you make it, so here goes.
