In one of my recent coumns for the Herald Mail entitled “Know Your Knuclehead Trainers”, I described some the trainers that I feel give our industry a black eye. One of these is the “out of shape” trainer. This trainer isn’t in presentable physical condition, and usaullay can be seen eating McDonald’s at least once a day.
Well, I got an e-mail from a reader who took offense to this description. In the e-mail she describes her brother who is in college studying exercise science, and is training atheletes to support himself. She says that I was being harsh and judgemental because her brother really doesn’t have time to workout due to his college and training schedule, and that with my attitude, she would hate to be one of my clients.
So here’s where I need your opinion. Re-read the column HERE and give me your opinion. Was I being too harsh? Or was i right on point? Leave your comments and let me know!

Today upon recommendation from my friend, and former client Scott Ford, I payed a visit to Dr. Eric Jones of Cumberland Valley Chiropractic in Hagerstown, MD. I’ve been frequently dealing with neck and back pain from years of weightlifting and wrestling, which notice gets worse with age (and more wrestling and weightlifting).
At one point, my neck was in such bad shape, the nerves had actually began to stop communicating with the muscles on the left side of upper body, and caused atrophy. That wasn’t good. Fortunately, one of my clients at the time was a physical therapist, and she worked with me to get me “back online” so I could get back to business as usual, you know, wrestling and weightlifting.
Well fast forward to 2009, and I tricked out my neck carrying some dumbells, and my arm gets to tingling. That tingle slowly began to turn into weakness. This time I decide to head it off before it begins again, so here’s where the story began, seeing Dr. Jones. My experience was more than I expected as Dr. Jones took his time to thoroughly explain what he believed was the cause of my problems, and walked me through his proposed treatment.
This isn’t going to be an advertisement for Dr. Jone’s practice, but I’m looking forward to working with him to finally get rid of this monkey I’ve been carrying for waaay too long.
If you have a treatable condition that’s keeping you from performing your best, handle that and get back in the game. Little injuries and “tweaks” tend to get worse over time, so don’t continue to blow them off. Physical Therapists, and Chiropractors can get to the source of what ails you and help correct the risidual effects so the same injuries don’t happen over and over again.
Take care of yourself, and look for an interview with Dr. Jones soon!

And they continue to lie!! Now the Kellogg company is claiming that their Rice Krispies cereal supports immunity due to added vitamins…WOW, the guts of this company!
Read THIS
Vitamins or not, Rice Krispies is NOT a supportive food item. It’s nothing more than starch and sugar with a sprinkle of synthetic vitamins and minerals. When is the Federal Government going to get out of the food industry’s pocket, and handle these lying thieves who are killilng our contry one bowl at a time?
Nutrition is critical to living your best life, get the good stuff. Fresh fruits and vegetables are natures immunity support, not man-made fake food.
Don’t fall for lies and propaganda, keep getting the truth from us and other credable sources who actually care about your wellbeing.
Rrrrrrrr I’m so annoyed right now…

I can barely contain myself. We are officially one day away from 2009 “Freaky Fat Loss” Boot Camp, and I am like a kid on Christmas Eve…We are about to take part in the biggest fitness extravaganza this city has ever seen! And what better organization to do it for than United Way of Washington County. I’ve personally benefitted from the United Way’s work, and truly believe that this organization is essential to not only Washington County, but to the entire nation.
From summers in the Boys and Girls Clubs camps, to the time I spent in the YMCA’s programs and activities I was kept away from the kind of trouble that some of the boys in my own family got into. When crack hit Hagerstown, in the late ’80s, a lot of the guys from my neighborhood were vanishing on a weekly basis. Some were arrested, some were killed, all in the name of fast money and reputation. I was kept out of that mess due to the combination of 2 things: a mother who kapt me busy, and locations to stay busy at.
United Way helps keep places open that keep kids out of the various avenues of trouble that are increasingly available today. If it weren’t for the Boys and Girls Clubs, and the YMCA, both of which are United Way Agencies, I don’t know if i would be sitting here talking to you right now. S i guess I owe them my life, and my career. “Freaky Fat Loss” Boot Camp is my small way of giving back what United Way invested in me for over a decade.
Kat and i hope to see you in the morning, but if you can’t come (slacker), please consider donating to United Way of Washington County, to make sure that they can continue to do the good work they do for so many people here where we live.
