About this ebook
Would You Like to Feel Better Each Day?
This book will help you improve your life. The values it espouses are shared by its authors, two people that demonstrated for themselves that exercise, proper nutrition, and learning about health and happiness can lead to radical improvements in the quality of their lives. They formed a company called GRT Fitness, and hosted fitness events in their community, the mid-Michigan area. You can visit their website at www.grtfitness.com if you’d like more information about the authors.
Living What They Preach
The two main authors, Tom and Regie, became exercise partners, and then became certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine as Personal Trainers. Regie has continued to train individuals, and Tom is now focused on sharing knowledge about health, fitness, and quality of life issues as the host of Boomers Rock, a radio show syndicated in Michigan (and growing!).
Your Mother and Father Were Right All Along
What they learned was surprising only in the simplicity of the approach – eat healthy food and move your body in the way it was meant to be moved, and it will respond with healthy growth and improved vitality. It sounds like a cliche, or like a commercial, but it’s true, and the people they have helped during the past few years attest to it.
Clear and Convenient
This book, then, presents in a clear, convenient volume the basics of nutrition and exercise that can improve your life. It won’t berate or frighten you – if you need to be harassed for your motivation, you should read a different book. But if you want to know the simplest of techniques to help you feel better every day, and sleep better at night, and possibly even live longer, this book is a great start.

Chapter 1. Call To Action
GRT Fitness and Wellness was built on the principles of helping others lead a healthier, happier, more meaningful quality of life through exercise and nutrition. We provide outreach; group activities, exercise training and nutritional- weight management counseling. We serve the public through community service, advising and mentoring, personal coaching, video blogs and E-books. This E-book is one such example of our services. Our intention is to help as many people as possible at the lowest cost and highest value an individual can obtain. It is critical for our society to move forward that we, as citizens of the United States, must help each other. That is our mission.
There is no drug in current or prospective use that holds as much promise for sustained health as a lifetime program of physical exercise.
--Journal of the American Medical Association in 1982
That statement appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1982. Since then, it has been proven true again and again, reportedly that 12% of all deaths, 250,000, according to the CDC, (Center for Disease Control), may be attributed directly or indirectly to lack of regular physical activity. With reportedly only one in four Americans getting enough exercise to be considered to be physically active, the Midwest, (and Michigan in particular), leads the overweight epidemic nationally by region, second only to the South Central region of the U.S. (http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/trends.html#State)
Midwesterners have always looked out for their neighbors. It is part of our regional culture. Likewise, it is the purpose of this book to help us become informed and strong, to learn from each other, and to share knowledge. It is time for rebirth and time to show the country that we can lead the change of understanding in our health and wellness, that our example can be developed and then replicated to serve the rest of our country, leading us into the remainder of this century. Let us learn together as we share stories of adaptation, improvement and growth. It is our desire with this e-book,
