Introduction: As a physician, I witnessed the long-term effects of physicial inactivity on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of my patients. I saw countless cases of diseases that could either be prevented or treated with physical exercise. In many cases, people had a general awareness of the benefits of exercise, but were fuzzy on the details. A vast number of illnesses -- including diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, chronic back pain, depression, and anxiety -- can be managed solely with exercise combined with a healthy diet. That's right. No pills, no insulin injections, and no trips to the therapist. It's surprisingly simple. Why, then, is it so difficult for people? My opinion is that it is a matter of attitude. Most people see exercise as a chore rather than a celebration. Instead of it being a chance to feel free and elated, exercise is something that people dread.
I can tell you with absolute honesty that there has been almost nothing more beneficial to my happiness and well-being than physical activity. It gives me a sense of joy and aliveness that I hope to bring to each and every client I work with. Sure, you'll look great, but that's secondary. It's how different you will feel that is of primary importance. My approach is to make exercise fun. I use a combination of resistance training, plyometrics, and core work that engages your whole body during the workout. By using constantly varying workout routines, your body will be rapidly transformed. Whatever your particular goals are, I am there for you every step of the way as a guide and as a motivator!
