Because there are no legal barriers to entry, such as state licenses, basic educational requirements or sufficient experience, most personal trainers are unqualified to do their job.

World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea–the power of our mindset.
Dweck explains why it’s not just our abilities and talent that bring us success–but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn’t foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals–personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported in a past article that physician error, medication error and adverse effects from drug and/or surgery kills over 225,000 Americans every year; over 100,000 of these American deaths were from unintended consequences of a drug that was provided at an accurate and normal dosage.
Remember, physicians and the medical establishment may save our lives in an emergency situation, we are lucky to have them, but relying on them for disease prevention and sound health is foolish and not their responsibility. The road to good health begins in prevention and the majority of physicians know NOTHING about it.

Look at your path closely and deliberately… and do this frequently throughout your lifetime. Going off course can be gentle and subtle without any awareness of your misdirection. As Carlos Castaneda wrote “if your path has heart, then your path is good, but if your path has no heart, than your path is no good”. Careful consideration should always be given to the mere 24 hours in your day. Not a day should be wasted or simply tolerated. Make the most of it by choosing your path

A desire for men to be as big as possible is pervasive in this culture; it’s a symbol of manliness, machismo, dominance and even success to many.
The bottom line here… unless a man is naturally large, it’s nothing more than a sign of obesity, health problems and premature death.

Fitness is a personal process that can very well run the course of a lifetime; the more we know about it, the more we understand it, the more we practice it, the more profound the results. It’s a process, not a finished product.
