Describe your own workout program:My workout program is split between size and strength training for NPC Bodybuilding competitions and endurance training for various charity distance-cycling events. Cross-training between these two sports is alternated between free-weight movements in the gym (on a 4-day split) and outdoor cycling on my bike for distance, speed and intensity. I operate on a '10-day workout week' which allows 4 alternating days for physique movements, 3 alternating days for endurance movements and 3-days off.
What other skills do you bring to the table besides your training experience:Other skills I have been blessed with include my public speaking ability and teaching skills to help others understand how their body works. I have been an active athlete most of my life, an amateur (NPC) bodybuilding competitor since the mid-1970s, a mostly self-trained expert on the topic of meal planning and nutrition for competing athletes and a charity distance-cyclist (most recently, in June 2007, riding 7-days and 560 miles from San Francisco to LA to raise money for HIV/AIDS services.)
In general, please describe your experience:I began serious bodybuilding in 1970 and soon afterwards, began instructing other members at the old Hollywood YMCA in Southern California. This was a time before there were any 'personal trainers' as we know them today. Since those 'early' days, I have worked in and managed several gyms, written columns in magazines and newspapers on health and fitness, owned two of my own gyms and now own a personal training business, hold fitness seminars and am about to publish my first book on fitness.
