Why This is Here

This blog is created to address questions regarding fitness, nutrition, and wellness in general.  In my years of experience as a coach and personal trainer, there are some questions regarding fitness and nutrition that I have heard often, so I'm sure they are common to others as well.  My hope is to be able to address these questions, and many more, in a more public forum so people can learn how to become the healthiest, most physically active version of themselves.  Exercise and nutrition myths also abound, and I look forward to examining some of these more closely.  For people who want to get healthy, I want to make it as easy as possible and provide resources to reach that goal.  I know it can be overwhelming to try and find the best way possible to reach health goals, and that the information about the "best" way to reach these goals is often mixed at best - not because there is not reliable information available, but because products and services in the health/wellness industry may just be trying to sell you something that has no basis in scientific fact or clinical research.  Trying to sort out the "reliable" from the "unreliable" information can be difficult, and I want to help you wade through as much of it as I can.  I want my years of experience in coaching and training, and my current pursuit of becoming an exercise phsyiologist to benefit others in their pursuit of health.  With this goal in mind, my blog will include entries regarding exercise as well as nutritional concepts.  Some entries will include workout tips, creating goals, or how to work out with purpose, and some will deal with healthy eating tips, getting the best from your shopping trip for your family, etc.  I sincerely hope that every reader will find some benefit in applying the forthcoming information!
