I
once believed "taking people through workouts" was enough,
but in the 21st Century, people fail to find fitness for one reason.
They have bad information in their heads, and the wild array of ads
and product offerings only makes matters worse. Through my website,
seminars, and media appearances I share "The Fitness Truth."
Below you'll find an ever-growing list of topics that people typically
ask about. Keep
me posted on products and topics you'd like to see discussed.
Find an additional listing of articles at the Update
Menu. For products visit my on-line
Superstore. Also tune into my
Mind & Muscle Fitness Hour radio show Saturdays at 9 AM (WIOD
in South Florida) and in select cities from 7 AM to 9 AM (EST) Sundays.
