Enhancing Fitness Through Flexibility
Matt Brzycki and I have an e-book out on Amazon entitled Enhancing Fitness Through Flexibility for a whopping price of $2.99.
Here is a review of someone who purchased a copy:
Anything that these two authors put out is great medically/scientifically based information. They do not pump you full of “fads”, but instead its highly researched information (multiple peer reviews from reliable sources) that is designed to assist you in reaching your goals on or off the field. This book has simple, effective, and efficient stretches for anyone!
For those of you looking for a concise manual on safe and effective stretching techniques, take a look inside.

Breaking Muscle is a great website that updates their readers daily with articles on health and fitness. Here is one of my favorite writers.
4.3 out of 5
“Dumbbell Training for Strength and Fitness” continues to do well as we have sold over 20,000 copies world-wide. Amazon has 55 reviews giving us a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and we are quickly closing in on 100 “likes”. Now, I know that doesn’t seem like much to brag about (and trust me, I’m not trying to), but it to let you know that something as simple and rudimentary as a set of dumbbells and a small , safe area can yield fascinating results both in strength and fitness. Check out what some reviewers had to say…

5.0 out of 5 stars Dumbell Training for Strength and Fitness, October 23, 2012
By Michael L. Buckley (Sheridan, Wyoming United States)
An excellent book with enough back ground information to enhance the learning experience with photos and descriptions of the exercises. The book makes it easy to have multiple routines at your finger tips. One could use training routines provided or make up their own.

By Beau B.

- “This time, I’m really going to stick to it! I mean it, I’m totally, 100% committed!” This person sounds like he’s trying to convince himself but not really succeeding.
- “I’m potentially thinking that maybe I might join this class.”This person hasn’t really made up his mind. He’s not committed. Although he sounds very different, he’s actually an awful lot like the person who says…
- “I have to start tomorrow. No delay!”This person is afraid that she’s going to lose her resolve. It’s probably happened to her before.
- “Well, afternoons don’t work. And I can’t do mornings. I can come Tuesdays at noon, but not this Tuesday. Or next Tuesday…”If people really want to exercise, they find the time.
- “I’ll squeeze it in at lunchtime. I can just run out between meetings.”This person hasn’t acknowledged to herself that exercise must be its own priority, and if she doesn’t make it a priority, it’ll always get shoved to the bottom of the to-do list. Which means it won’t happen.
- “As soon as I’ve done this task for the kids, and this other task for my spouse, I’ll exercise.”Again, exercise needs to be on the official to-list.
I’m Humbled…
One of my clients took the time to comment about me on LinkedIn. I am extremely happy that she finds so much value in what we do together….
“Fred is a remarkable trainer; a true professional in his field of fitness training. I view Fred as more of a life coach than a trainer; he doesn’t just count me through my routine, he motivates and energizes me to accomplish the goals I set for myself by reminding me that my power and strength come from within. I view his job as helping me to get to where I want to be in my life and my fitness program. Fred’s motto is “Train with a purpose”. From the minute I arrive for my workout I am reminded that this is my time to focus on myself and on my goals. Fred takes the time to listen to what I say (and don’t say) about how I am feeling physically (and mentally). Our workout routines are as challenging as they are creatively designed to keep me not only feeling good about my accomplishments but pushing me to reach higher. To date, I have reached my weight goal and am now working on flexibility and mobility issues. I highly recommend Fred to all those who are just starting to get fit and those of you who want to take your training to the next level.” - Susannah P.

Getting Started
“A year from now you will wish you had started today.” ~ Karen Lamb
How true a statement as many people reflect after time has passed and realize their postponing an exercise program has resulted in another year of “I would’ve and should’ve….”. Starting something such as a well thought out health and fitness program takes time, knowledge and most importantly, execution. For those looking to circumvent starting such a program, excuses are plenty, but the problem is we keep aging, we keep losing muscle tissue, we get fatter and that year has passed and there’s more ground to make up.
I’ve stated this many times, it doesn’t take much time to stimulate lean muscle tissue, fat loss and improve cardiovascular conditioning, you do, however, need to know how to do it safely, efficiently and effectively and of course, be committed to the process. Two to three times per week for less than 30 minutes per session can make that “wish you started” feeling a thing of the past. And if you can only make it in once a week, no problem, something is always better than nothing.
Here’s a simple solution: leave it to someone who has the experience, the knowledge, the passion for the field of fitness and helping others ‘get it done”. Contact me for a free consultation so we can discuss starting your new program.
