It's all about Balance.

I'm always telling my clients about the importance of balance.  Granted, most of the time I'm referring to muscle balance as it relates to strength, joint mobility and integrity, but there are plenty of discussions about the importance of balance in life:  balancing family and career, work and play, workouts and recovery. . .   

As it pertains to training, living a balanced life in conjunction with a well-thought-out training program can  bring you amazing results; without balance, though, progress will be much harder to come by. 

It is with this thought in mind, that I bring you the blog of Penelope Trunk, the "Brazen Careerist."  I found her one night when, ironically, I was in a state of imbalance -- procrastinating much more than I was working.  Many of her articles, centered on her desire to deliver "advice at the intersection of work and life," emphasize the importance of, what else?  Balance.  So, if you're looking for tips on topics like goal setting, knowing yourself, time management, parenting or fulfillment check out Penelope's blog. 

It may just give you the advice you need to bring you balance. . . so that you can get the most out of your workouts.
