As a little boy one of the few things I remember most about my dad is a set of dumbbells in his room under a chair he'd sometimes use to do bicep curls. Then there was my mom whom I often got to go see, along with her cousin Robin, play softball games that I thought were so exciting. My uncle, her brother, had so many trophies over his fire place from running road races that I just had to get some myself! Well with all this being said, believe it or not but i didn't get physical until my 12th grade year in high school. Nope, I was a band greek! I played the clarinet, and even broke my finger in the 3rd grade just trying to catch a football. I guess what I'm really trying to get at is now that I am a father, I've realized the ultimate, somewhat underlying reason to why I train! It's because I want my kids to train! I want them to have dumbbells in their rooms and I want to go and see them at games, and most of all just like any other proud parent, I want to see them healthy and strong. So, take this attitude on for your child's sake. If your not a parent now, don't wait until you are to start exercising. Have the attitude of do as I do, not just as I say, and the both of you will be well on your way to a more fulfilled and invigorating life experience!

Eat as much as you want!
It's really pretty simple! Now I'm not telling you to go out and eat processed foods, fried foods, or candy all day; but if you make intelligent decisions about what you eat you can have as much of it as you want!
Calorie tracking is the solution to you dilemma (if you have one), as long as you burn more calories than you consume each day, you're losing weight! Burn the same as you consume and you stay the same. And as you probably already figured out, burning less calories than you consume each day MEANS YOUR GAINING WEIGHT. I guess it all depends on your goals! Now the next question is probably along the lines of how do I burn the calories? Well, I have just the answer, check out www.superfittv.com everyday for new and exciting fitness videos to get you on your way.

Boxing for fitness!
A great get away from the normal gym routine is boxing for fitness. I burn as much as 500-700 calories in a one hour session with some of my clients. Men tend to burn more calories than woman but it's still a great workout that everyone loves. The simple jab, cross, hook, and upper cut are all you need to learn. Thrown in a couple of jumping jacks, pushups, and crunches and you have yourself a workout.
