Exercise is for Everyone
This edition of my column is dedicated to the older generation. Unfortunately, many people are under the misconception that exercise is only for young people, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Keep It Consistent
I know first hand just difficult it can be to fit exercise into a busy schedule, but if you don’t do it regularly, it will be very hard to see results.
Inner Strength Keeps Us Going
Last week at the post office I ran into someone who expressed to me how much she enjoyed reading my columns. She went on to explain some of the difficulties she and her family had been going through in her personal life, and after listening to her I realized just how fortunate I am.
Exercising the Buddy System
How many of you reading this finds it difficult to adhere to a fitness regime? If you’re like most Americans, you probably find it at least challenging, some may even go so far as to say impossible.

Breathe Some Life into Your Workouts
When meeting new clients for the first time, they often tell me that they have tried working out on their own in the past, but find it very difficult to adhere to a regular program.

Managing Stress
I was inclined to focus this edition’s column on stress after some friends inspired the idea. It happened during band practice (yes, I play in a band for fun) when we were attempting a new song, and we didn’t all quite see things eye to eye.
Child Obesity
This posting is focused on child obesity. Have you noticed more children with weight problems today than ten years ago? If so, it’s not your imagination, child obesity is a bigger problem now more than ever before.
Key to Exercise Success
The key to success is developing a habit when it comes to exercise. Developing a new habit takes time and consistency.
Make Exercise Top of Your List
If you think you don’t have enough time to exercise, I think you’re wrong. It usually boils down to priorities, and exercise may not be on the top of your list.
