Go Make it Happen!

Yesterday I decided to make sure that I use some of my personal wealth of knowledge to good use. So I decided to brainstorm on different topics and subjects that interest me and affect me in some shape or form. The first topic of choice is Health and Fitness.

Although , I don’t have a set blog just for fitness, I guess any start is better than no start. I must begin with a disclaimer. I’m in no means a substitute for anyone to use my knowledge better that their own judgment or to disregard a physician’s recommendation. I am compelled to write and share because I have spent many years researching and being in the field. Many of my friends have even come to me for questions, so it is with great honor and leisure that I have decided to go ahead and put my words on paper. If you are open-mind, truthful about who you are and don’t mind an eye-opener or two, you’re welcome. If you oppose truth as it comes mainly from my personal experiences and my unique background, then you may not like anything that I have to say. Anyhow if I think of anything else, I will let you know. Make sure that when reading any of this material that you don’t take anything personal. Once again, thanks.

Enjoy…..
