Morning,
This is ‘way cool – my interview with Leigh Peele, fitness trainer, is now up HERE!
Now, Leigh really knows her stuff – I was extremely pleased that she was willing to review my book The Safe and Smart Internet Weight Loss Edge. You can see by some of her articles that she is extremely educated in the area of fitness and health:
- The Wagon Rider and the Pedestrian
- …I am a big believer in things not being very black and white. I am one who believes in the ability of people to change, perhaps because I myself have changed so much. I seem to find often those who don’t believe in others ability to change are those who are afraid or do not attempt to do so themselves. I change, I change everyday. I constantly try to face things I fear, to stand up to the person I know I can be, and to self educate to become a more informed person in the future. I am human, I am flawed, but I try because I care….
- Do you have to be convinced to eat?
- I ran into the grocery store to get something that I had already been to two stores prior to find. In short, they as well were out of the very thing I needed. So I did the only thing I could and gave up for the night on my hunt and decided to grab my dog a treat. I walked up to the checkout and in front of me there is man reading Men’s Health while chewing on the opened box of cookies, still waiting to be scanned, from his cart. I find the irony here quite excellent to say the least. It is habit also that I peruse other shopping carts out of curiosity and cookie man had all the goods. He had chips, white bread, and doughnuts, basically a trainer’s worst nightmare. Now I am not judging his food choices, if anything I am very much a “to each their own kind of person”. What I was struck by was the reoccurring thought in my head, “at least he is eating”. I took myself aback and thought why is it when I look at this lustrous cart of trans fat and sugar I don’t think “oh my god that man is going to have a heart attack”. Could it be because I spend so much of my day just trying to convince people to eat?….
As you can see, the woman knows her material! Do yourself a favor and check out her blog at Avidity Fitness.net – I think you’ll enjoy it greatly.
