I was riding my mountain bike yesterday and all of the sudden it just came to me. I just started thinking about how many things I’ve learned through my own personal working out (since I was a kid and playing competitive sports) as well as being a trainer (since 1998). So today I just wanted to share some of the things this 36yr old has personally learned about all things health and fitness….in no certain order….

Pushups are the best upper body workout designed….no machine can replace that…you don’t need any equipment and you can do them anywhere.
It’s easy to become a certified trainer (as I have seen overweight people become certified)….it’s not easy to work as one full time (hence a high turnover rate in many clubs)
Diet is 85% of where results come from…..for muscle and fat loss. Many don’t focus here enough.
Working out too much doesn’t lead to good results….hence most people are still struggling after years of hard effort and little return.
Most people do not lift heavy enough to make stronger muscles.
It’s never too late to build muscle….and is more important as we grow older.
The only real cure is prevention….don’t get sick in the first place otherwise you …
