Welcome to the ramblings of a fitness guy.

I talk to so many people every day I always learn more than I pass along I'm sure.  Half the time I don't remember what I even said and to whom I said it!  Sadly enough, I forget the lesson I learned...until I have another conversation along the same lines and then it all comes back to me.

A guy in my men's group talks about the blogs from his missionary daughter and the enjoyment he derives from reading her exploits.  I really haven't read too many blogs nor have I ever published a blog.  But after some encouragement to start writing more, I decided to give blogging a try.

There are many topics that I could write about.  My passion lies in serving our Lord Jesus Christ and those around me.  One way I do this is through health and fitness.  About 8 years ago a few partners and I opened an all adult health club.  Our mission was, and is, to help adults to become healthier, stronger and more productive in all facets of their lives.  We have succeeded in helping several thousand people become healthier, more educated and more aware of how fitness impacts their life, both daily and in the long run.  Given that we are the arms and legs of Christ, it behooves us to ensure those appendages are fit for service.

I continue to be amazed at the misinformation and confusion caused by media and those trying to cash in on the fitness game (i.e. weight loss).  It is obvious to me that no one has found the magic bullet to  easily make fat go away, muscles stronger, heads clearer and illness eliminated.  The key word there is EASILY!  We have become so accustomed to our fast paced world that we want everything how we want it, when we want it.  Unfortunately our bodies don't do so well in the fast-paced world we have created for ourselves.

In these blogs I will pass along learnings from my real life experience in my health club from real life stories and experiences from my members.  While many answers can be derived from a laboratory setting for most questions in this life, the age-old question of our health and fitness eludes the watchful eye of the researcher.
