Pam Burke As strange at it may seem to read about me, I had an interesting conversation with a health professional about fitness a while back — of course, it wasn't like I was setting up an exercise regimen or something crazy like that, so no worries. We were actually talking about motivation, and the pro told me about adopting the inspiring motto of a competitor he'd met; she'd had it tattooed on her arm: "Never Weaken." "I've been doing more cardio," he said, "and when I'm ready to quit, but know I need to go a few more m...

When it comes to basketball, I'm a product of my generation – which means I worshiped at the altar of one Michael Jordan. I have always said you'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger Jordan fan than me – even though millions of others would disagree with that statement. And being a Jordan fan, I grew up loving watching him score at will, loving his high-flying dunks and his unstoppable play with the ball in his hands. What I didn't appreciate then, and which I do now, is the fac...
