This page is dedicated to providing you with video examples of how to perform basic movement patterns. All human movement is made up of 6 movement patterns. They are pushing, pulling, rotating, bending/extending, squatting and single leg movements. The movements on this page are all combination or derivatives of the above mentioned sick basic movements. When done properly these movements help to balance the body and improve it’s form. Once you improve your form then your function will also improve. Please understand that if you can’t perform the movements on this page properly, or experience pain while doing them then they are not right for you. As such, by posting these exercises I am not suggesting that you should be performing these exercises to help achieve your fitness goal. I am simply providing you a video representation of how to best perform them.
Each exercise on this page is categorized by movement pattern. Then specifically identified by title on each of the screens below. To the specific exercise simply click on the exercise you would like to view:

Fat (definition): one of the three main classes of foods and a source of energy in the body. Fats help the body use some vitamins and keep the skin healthy. They also serve as energy stores for the body. In food, there are two types of fats, saturated and unsaturated (NASM, 2008).
Fat (function): serve as an energy source and facilitate the use of vitamins by the body. They also provide satiety and warmth for the body (NASM, 2008).
I am always looking for new ways to provide you with the best nutrition and fitness training information. Since the introduction of this site I have predominantly utilized video to share what I have had to say with you. While video is a powerful form of media I wanted to provide you with other forms of media to choose from.
What I have decided to do is create audio podcasts series that will be displayed in individual blogs like this one and on the new page I just added titled “Audio”. Just as exciting is that I have also decided to make these audio podcast available for download, for free at the itunes store. Now you will be able to download these podcasts to you computer, CD or even you ipod to listen to anywhere at your leisure.

Are proper Nutrition and Exercise a family priority?
Have you ever sat down with your husband and wife and discussed your family agenda? Have you ever taken the time to consider your family’s course? Even further, what activities are you building into your life and your children’s lives that support your family’s priorities?
Family’s need structure and priority. Family’s need to have a written list of objectives and daily activities that support these objectives. When you manage your family activities this way it provides a sense of purpose and clarity for you entire family. Without planning this way you allow outside forces to determine your family’s identity.
Where does proper nutrition and exercise fit in your family objectives and daily activities? I believe it should be somewhere near the top the lists. In fact I believe that it is as essential learning reading, math, science and language.
If you have not set down with your husband and wife to create a set of written family objectives and activities I suggest you do so today. I would also include your children in this process. Following this planning process you must take action. You must act on what you have identified as the most important objectives for your family. Otherwise you have wasted your time and created confusion for your family.
I have a resource I would like to suggest for you and your family. It is a book titled “How To Eat Move and Be Healthy“. It is written by Paul Chek, a world renowned Holistic Health Practitioner. It is a great place for family’t to start their Nutrition and Exercise learning. You can actually read the first chapter for free by visiting the following site:
1. Quality Family Relationships – Mother, Father, Brothers and Sisters
2. Proper Nutrition – Metabolic Typing
3. Proper Exercise – Movement
4. Spiritual/Emotions – Motivating Interest – Desire To Be Better
None of the 4 items listes above requires a politician. Each requires all of us to prioritize our health over other less important pursuits. If you are a parent, health and wellness must be one of your top priorities. If not You and Your Family will live a less vital, less meaningful and shorter life!
The answer is simple they both stink. When you view the video above you will learn that in 2008 we spent $2.3 Trillion on healthcare. It is estimated that by the year 2019 we will spend $4.5 Trillion on healthcare.
Guess how long it would take us to pay off $2.3 Trillion if we paid $1 every second of everyday? how about if we tried to pay off $4.5 Trillion the same way? The video above has the answers.
I have a favor to ask you. If you feel like you have friends who might benefit from the information in this video interview series be sure to send them to this site!
“We Have focused on treating Illness rather than promoting prevention and wellness. The negative consequenses of this sick-care system are taking a toll on our health, our economic stability and futures of our children and grandchildren.”
- Richard M. Carmona, 17th U.S Surgeon General
Current Healthcare:
In 2008 Americans Spend $2.3 trillion on healthcare. In contrast we spent $253 billion in 1980 and $714 billion in 1990.
It is estimated that our National Health Expenditure will increase from 16.2% to 17.3% of our GDP from 2008 to 2009. This would represent the largest one year increase in history.
Seventy Five percent of national healthcare expenditure is spent on chronic disease.
Since 1999 family premiums for employer based health coverage have increased by 131%.
Based on past behavior of politicians most Americans are skeptical about thier motives as they relate to healthcare.
The Only institutional force that can effecively decrease the long term cost of healthcare is:
The American Family

This week I will be interviewed about my thought on exercise and healthcare. I can assure you that my thoughts do not fall in line withwhat you hear on TV.
Psychology:
Every physical activity we engage in has an impact on us mentally and emotionally. In the coming weeks I have a chance to sit down and talk to and expert in the field of exercise and psychology about these correlations. This interview will help you to explain and change the way you feel about exercise!
Exercise:
In my humble opinion we as Americans have only one way to reduce the costs of healthcare. We can only do that becoming a healthier nation. Don’t wait and hope for politicians to provide you with anything especially as it relates to you health and wellness. Take it upon to improve your health, Gluttony must be gone.
