Are you happy with your current condition of health?  Do you worry about not being able to take care of yourself or your family because you might develop a chronic illness?  Did you know that daily living activities are limited for at least 25% of those diagnosed with a chronic health condition?

Chronic health conditions also account for over 70% of deaths in the United States.  Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause. Associated many times with cardiovascular disease is obesity and being overweight.  This causes other conditions such as high cholesterol, diabetes, osteoarthritis, some types of cancer, shortened life expectancy, and a decreased quality of life.

Why are more Americans overweight or suffering from some chronic illness?  Advanced technology is a leading cause. Addiction to TV programs, video games, and leisure time on computers cause us to sit idle more than ever.  Our posture suffers from sitting so much causing low back pain.  80% of us suffer from low back pain in our lives.

It’s also important to stay healthy even if you are already in top shape.

So how do we reverse this trend and get or stay healthy?  Nutrition is important.  Getting outside and exercising is also critical.

Running is one of the best and easiest means of using the outdoors to get or stay fit.  Running, easy?  Sure if you learn how to correctly.  Allow me to show you how!

OK, you already work hard at fitness and you already run.  Has anyone ever showed you the best way to train? Do you sign up for races so that you have a goal and continue to run?  Would you like to get better at running? Would you be happier if you did get better at running?  If you are like me, when I’m happy it spreads to everyone around me or anyone who comes in contact with me.  I’m much more positive, feel better, have more energy, and people talk to me back in a more positive manner.

Running can change your life! That’s not an exaggeration.  Ask anyone who had the courage to make the move and start running.  I’ve lost count on how many people have told me that running changed their life.  It lowered their blood pressure, made them happy again, made them more self confident, raised their self-esteem, made their relationships better, and so many other positive comments.

Then I hear the excuses.  I can’t run because my knees are bad or I don’t want to ruin my knees.  Running correctly helps your knees!  Fact!  Or the big one, I don’t have time! Wow, I cringe at that one the most.  Yes, we lead busy lives.  You have 4 small children and your spouse is always working late or out of town on business, or I don’t have a spouse so who will watch my children?  I work long hours then have to go home and feed everyone and it’s dark out when I possibly could work out.

To this I just say, “Where are your priorities?” Is your life not important?  Would your family suffer from you being chronically ill, disabled, or worse, gone?  Have you ever flown on an airplane somewhere?  I’m betting a vast majority of you have.  When you start to pull away from the gate, the flight attendant goes through their safety speech as required by law. What do they say?  One thing is , “if we suddenly lose air pressure the oxygen masks will automatically drop.  If you are travelling with small children, put your mask on first, then assist them.”  Why?  Because if you pass out you can’t help them!  The same goes with the rest of your life, not just in an airplane.  If you don’t take care of yourself, how can you help someone else?

Learn how to run the right way!  Whether it’s to start running and get healthy, improve your running, or to become really good at running.  I’m your man!  I can change your life!  You don’t even have to live by me.  I can help you no matter where you live in the world!  Ask anyone who has worked with me before.  Your life should be the highest priority!  Improve the quality of your life.
