I happened across a fascinating blog, No Impact Man , and it got me to thinking about my impact on the environment.
Sometimes when I am on my way to a clients home at 4:30am, I see the faithful walking on the treadmill at the gym near my house. I've often wondered and been saddened in a way that this is what life has come down to for many. These people have such inactive days, from sitting in an office, or driving around in a car, that they can't fit in exercise naturally into their day.
So now we have a situation where we sit too much, drive too much, sleep to little in order to get up early, to go walk on a machine. Something just seems wrong with this picture.
What if we could wake up at reasonable times, walk or bike for exercise, and to top it off, eat foods grown closer, or even from our own homes?
One of my goals with my new project over at www.getleanpasadena.com is to teach some "strong" exercise techniques that can be done from home. It is my goal to educate adults and children that once they learn some basic techniques and forms, they can get excellent results with minimal equipment. They don't have to rely on infomercial gadgets, special fat-burning pills, wacky diets, nor outrageously expensive or complicated fitness machines.
Imagine this...exercising at home, together, and then all enjoying a great meal together.
