A great teacher can live in a less-than-godlike body.

Act like you're taking a crash course in Italian three weeks before you move to Rome. Be prepared to soak up a lot of information. Arm yourself with questions and take notes.

Do you want to learn a routine you can take on business trips? Do you want training advice for a marathon? Do you want to get started on a weight-loss program?

We live in such a convenient world that we have to go out of our way to create movement.

Push your kids on a swing, walk the dog, play a game of catch, volunteer for the neighborhood watch, carry groceries for your neighbor, take your toddler for a stroll, play catch, or help out in a community garden.

Take your kids hiking, biking or skating.
