The Right Shoe is Good for Your Sole
During my speed skating career, my Achilles heel was my feet. No matter the activity -- walking, running, weight lifting, even standing all day -- it's important to find the correct shoes.
Create the Perfect Match of Body Type and Sport
People often mentioned the size of my thighs back when I was speed-skating competitively, and, gosh, I can't deny it -- at one time my thighs measured 27 inches. This feature was an advantage to me in speed skating.
Fitness is a Family Value
I grew up during the 1950s and '60s in Madison, WI, in a family that lived and breathed sports - and I don't mean watching sports.
