Weekend Roundup - Happy Birthday Greg Edition!

I want to wish a happy birthday to my friend Greg, without which 60 in 3 would not be possible. He’s the one who helped me set up this website, figure out how to use wordpress and everything else I know about running a blog. He’s also been a workout partner and an inspiration as he works on his own fitness and health. So here’s to you Greg, happy birthday!

And with that, here are a few articles that I thought you (and Greg) might enjoy:

I don’t usually feature articles from finance blogs, but this one caught my attention. It’s from the Digerati Life and it talks about cheap ways to exercise. A lot of people I meet think exercise is something you can only do if you have a lot of money. However, exercise basically means moving around and that you can do for free. So here are a few more suggestions for cheap activities that’ll get your butt moving.

Of course, don’t let all that activity go to your head (or to your stomach). From the Diet Blog, we have this article about the dangers of eating too much after a workout. I used to do this, I would go hiking and then to a buffet. All the benefit I would gain from the hike would be lost at the ice cream bar. So be active, but don’t use that as an excuse to binge.

And while on the topic of cheap workouts, here’s an interesting article from Mark’s Daily Apple about running shoes. The most expensive brand is not always the best. Rather than going for price or looks, go for comfort and cushioning. A good sports store will have people who can look at your running steps and recommend a shoe that will work with you and protect you from injury.

And in the motivation dept. here’s an article from Chew On That that talks about the author’s success in changing his diet. Just a great example of how little things like eating more fruit and eliminating calories from soda have a big impact.
