"Lifting is good for the gray matter. Researchers at the University of Michigan found that men who performed three total-body weight workouts per week for 2 months lowered their blood-pressure readings by an average of 8 points. That's enough to reduce the risk of stroke by 40 percent."

Sully (aka Justin Sullivan) is an award winning strategy consultant for Ariba, Inc, helping Global 2000 companies save money in the globalized economy. During the Clinton Administration, he was a career-appointed Policy Analyst for the United States Office of Management and Budget, the White House budget agency. A Pittsburgher by marriage, he came to Pittsburgh in 1991. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University twice (where he also played basketball for about 4 minutes) -- a BS in '95 and an MS in Public Policy in 1996 -- where he studied riverfront development. Since returning to Pittsburgh in 1999, Sully has lived in Regent Square, and helped add 3 little Sullys to the world. Sully's Stuff was launched in 2005 to give him a forum to spout off and as a platform to promote "Stride Against Stroke" to raise over $3,000 for Gaylord Hospital's stroke programs while training for the Harrisburg Marathon. In addition to Sully's Stuff, Sully's writing will appear in the January 2006 issue of Federal Times.
