Stop Exercising!

 

Are You At RISK?

 

There is a new epidemic on the rise in the exercise and fitness world, and I'd like to help you avoid it.  The number of exercise injuries in both home and gym workouts has risen exponentially over the last decade due to extreme training methods and a lack of general fitness education.  This number will continue to grow unless we arm ourselves with the fitness knowledge needed to promote the health of our muscles and joints.  The good news is that this information is now available to you.

Combining years of published, scientific research with clinical experience, I have unlocked the secret to exercising and reducing your risk for needless pain and suffering.  As an orthopedic physical therapist and fitness professional for more than a decade, I want you to possess the methods and fitness intelligence to stay healthy and get life long results!

 

What You Need To Understand...

 

What most people don't understand about exercise, is that while maintaining a stable posture and mastering simple yet effective techniques, you can not only enhance your results, but avoid an injury in your pursuit of fitness.  Remember the number one rule is "Do No Harm."  After all, if you injure yourself working out at home or in a gym, the recovery can be exhausting physically, emotionally, and quite often, financially.

P.S.  Exercise is NOT going to get you the body you want anyway.  Having the body you want comes from your DIET.  Don't believe me?  Click HERE, see for yourself!

 

Regardless of your fitness experience, the techniques I created have been tested over time with both injured and healthy clients.  Along with reducing re-injury rates, improving core strength, body awareness, perfecting posture, and enhancing fitness intelligence, learning these scientifically sound methods is sure to change the way you exercise forever!  You can start right now with my free, simple Total Body Home Work Out.  Click Here and download it FREE!

Below are just a few of the hundreds of published research articles substantiating and supporting the methods we use with our patients and clients, as well as with the techniques taught in our DVD:
