Fitness Goals

Setting fitness goals is a good idea but most of us find it hard to stick to them. Life seems to always get in the way of our plan's. We get frustrated and quit before we get started, It doesn't have to be so complicated. Now is the time to create your hour of power or thirty minutes if that's all the time that you can spare for the most important person on earth-You! We all have twenty four hours in a day and we can chose how to use them. Start with thirty minutes and do it for twenty one days and you'll see and feel the difference. Take a walk around the block, do some push ups, stretch, get moving and enjoy your personal power time.

The Body Is Designed For Action

After a few days of light workouts ,I'm ready to get physical again.

Over The Fifty Year Old Mark

I turned fifty-one today and I feel better than I did at thirty-one. Yesterday I put myself through a test by attempting The Chattooga 50K. Although I only completed the first sixteen miles,It was one of the most beautiful runs of my life. Trail running is something new for me,I didn't know what to expect. Jason Sullivan and I ran the trail together making it a fun event. This was Jason's second 50K and he was very helpful. A man broke his ankle a couple miles into the run, It made us aware of how dangerous the trail could be. About three miles into the run bee's were a problem stinging me four times near my ankle. The terrain was though on my feet,blisters and inflammation began to take over. At the ten mile mark it was hard to plant my feet, I knew that I was in trouble. It was obvious that my feet were not going to get any better so I pulled out of the run. It was a great experience,something I'll always be proud of. Running has been a part of my life for over forty years. It has always been my goal to stay healthy!
God Bless, Happy Trails!

Experience Is A Great Teacher

I've been blessed with the opportunity to help people get and stay in shape. Averaging five to six sessions a day-1300 sessions a year -20800 over the past sixteen years gives me great pleasure. Watching people change their lifestyle and attitude keeps me in the game!

More About Old Skool Fitness

My enthusiasm for fitness started at a young age because there wasn't much to do in Union,SC. All the boys in my neighborhood were active. We boxed, played football, baseball, and went for runs:anything to stay out side. In 1993 I turned my passion for fitness into a stream of income.
I was an apprentice at The Personal Trainer - One To One Fitness in Spartanburg,SC for two years. In 1995 I got more basic training at Exercise Etc. a program for personal trainers and I trained at Nautilus Fitness in Spartanburg from 1995- 1998. In 1997 I was Certified through Nautilus Fitness. I've continued to work on my craft by going to seminars and by walking my talk.

Weekend Training

This weekend was exciting my running partners and I ran The Camp Croft Trails. We started at 6:30am and ran for two hours. The trails were in good condition and the weather was perfect. We're four weeks away from our 50k trail run June 7,2009. Today I ran five miles with a friend at Duncan Park and I felt strong and recovered.
