 Questions about types of exercise for overall benefits, specific bodyparts, order of exercises, reps/sets, routine suggestions, and general questions are fine. I will not answer questions about physical therapy training post-injury or after medical treatment. Everyone who decides to exercise should be cleared through their doctor(s) before beginning. If there is any concern about it, they should discuss it with them first.

 I can help you with Weight Lifting, Muscle Building, Fat Loss, and Nutrition. The kinds of questions that I will answer, include: How to perform exercises properly, how to stimulate your metabolism for fat loss, how to build an effective workout routine and add variety, how to reach your own genetic potential and continue adding more muscle mass to your frame. I can also help you make better decisions as to which supplements to take.

The kinds of questions that I can't/won't answer: Anything regarding Yoga, Pilates, physical therapy rehabilitation, or anything that involves fitness tips to those experiencing injuries. I also require that you send me only 1 question at a time. If you have multiple questions, or if you need a personal trainer to work with you, or if you need an instruction manual on how to get started with bodybuilding, I recommend this: Muscle Building Tips

Also, be sure to give me information about yourself, for example: Age, height, weight, current condition, goal, experience level, etc... This ultimately determines the kind of answer you will receive. I have to know ABOUT you, in order to give you personalized tips. Thanks.

 Ask this! - Why do all the self-help books, the exercise books, the weightlifting books, and the weight-lifting magazines - are written by (mostly) guys who are in fantastic (photo enhanced) physical shape who are in their 20's and 30's in age, telling all of us how "we" can look like them, if ONLY we forget we have jobs, families, many physical limitations, daily life responsibilities, and especially NO TIME to go to the gym every day, only by the time they reach age 40-50, or older, we never see, or hear from them - ever again?
