Training Philosophy

Fitness training is about exposing your body to new challenges that your body must be able to struggle with just enough to adapt accordingly. Exercise should not just be calorie expenditure. Also, it should be built into balanced living. Exercise training is stressful on the body. Working out in combination with food and/or rest deprivation is more stressful. Success is acheived when exercise yields the right stimulus, and food and rest reward the body for it's efforts. It is much harder to eat too many calories when food is not processed and contains lots of whole grains, fiber, fresh vegetables and fruits, and lean protein sources.
