LIFT is a web magazine for the adventurer in all of us (not necessarily the gym goer) -- successful men and women who work hard and play harder. Fitness isn’t about living at the gym, it’s about living at your peak, no matter what stands in your way. It’s about obeying the alarm clock, peeling yourself out of bed, and finding that extra hour most people think they’ll never have.

LIFT items are selected either by myself or by one of my guest editors. If you have a cool tip, please share it with me! And, no, you can't pay to be featured on LIFT. That's what advertising is for, and it's clearly labeled as such. I do not want to destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of this blog.

For the most part, I take the photos ... but from time to time I use Getty Images, iStockphoto (where I am currently a stock photographer) and Bauer-Griffin.

BlogBurst.comLastly, this site is syndicated through Blogburst, so it's likely that you'll see LIFT on Fox News, Reuters, or USA Today.com.

I hope that you continue to enjoy LIFT. I look forward to publishing it.

Urban Golf: In full swing

Urban-Golf.jpgJell-O shots on the fairway. Slamming beers on the green. Doing keg stands at the 18th.

Tiger Woods you’re not.

Which means you need to try something new. Check out Urban golf, it's just like its grass-cut cousin, but designed for fans of the gentlemen’s game with no need for snooty clubs, expensive gear, or talent (in fact the worse you are the better). Urban golfers just grab a thrift-store 5-iron, beer and some desolate cityscapes and presto—the entire city is your fairway.

There is one more thing ... you need bigger balls! Some golfers use a plastic almost golf ball that travels about a third the distance of a regular ball and won’t break windows. Others prefer a leather orb filled with goose feathers, which won’t roll into street gutters and just sits up to be hit and others use a tennis ball.

No fees, no dress codes, no bans on race, religion, or sex, no dressing like a total ass, just clean dirty urban fun. Anything can serve as a hole: trash cans, lamp posts, even storm drains. Just make sure to follow the golden rules.

Now go get ’em, Tiger.
