With the Start of the new year AIA has gone through some exciting changes. We now have our presenting sponsor for the AIA Cycling Team, Prosthetic Care (www.prostheticcare.com).
We also are pleased to have the good folks at Saris/CycleOps (www.saris.com), Blue Competitive Cycles (www.rideblue.com), Boyd Bikes (www.boydbikes.com) as new sponsors and we are a bit overwhelmed with their generosity to say the lease. So as we continue to develop new partnerships and spread the word about the benefits of getting up and active we ask that you give our sponsors a visit and let them know that you appreciate their support of AIA!
In addition we have created a Facebook page, a Twitter feed that will help keep you up to date on what we are doing to help fellow amputees get up and active. So, we ask for your patience and we think that you will like the new look and ease of use on the new site so keep a look out for the unavailing in the next week or so.
For most of us in North America, the chill of winter along with snow, ice and less daylight is an unavoidable reality. Whereas getting outside for 12 or more hours each week is easy in the warmer months, getting even 8 hours of training per week this time of year can be quite a challenge.

Wow, we are already halfway through January of 2010! Can you believe that? In an effort to help you take full advantage of the opportunities that await us in this new year, Amputee In Action asked Jim Cunningham and Dr. Rick Kattouf II, two of the top fitness coaches in the US, to share some of their thoughts on establishing good training and nutrition habits during the winter months.
