More and more people are realizing the importance of exercise. Besides the obvious benefits of losing excess body fat, increasing lean muscle tissue, and improved endurance and energy levels, it also makes you feel good.

Other benefits include, improved digestion and elimination, a healthier cardiovascular system, strong and healthy bones (preventing and even reversing bone loss), prevention and better control of diabetes, and many other wonderful health benefits.

While it is true that exercise is good for us it must be done in a safe and efficient manner. It is with this thought in mind that I have included on this web site a section on how to properly exercise. Not only will you find information on exercise but I will inform you about various exercise machines as to which ones are safe and which ones are not.

If you are curious about my background, I have been involved in the study of exercise science and technique for over 30 years. I have trained literally hundreds of people from all backgrounds and ages. From the housewife who just wants to lose a few pounds to the seasoned athlete, powerlifter, and bodybuilder. My experience in the use and familiarity of exercise equipment is quite extensive.

You will learn that many of the popular exercises that are used today are very dangerous and why. Also, you will learn about proper and safe exercise technique that will make your exercise sessions more enjoyable and result producing.

This section will be an ongoing process as I continue to add more information about exercise and fitness. So please check back regularly for updates.
