Welcome to my Blog!

Hi Everyone!
Thanks for looking at my blog. This is my first post.


My site name derives from my idea that, if we start getting fit today, then we will be fit 4 2 morrow. It's never too early, or too late in life, to change your habits, with a view to extending your future in health. Today, many people are living in miserable old age, plagued by the new diseases of our modern world - heart disease, dementia, obesity and diabetes have all come to the fore in the last 50 years and to a large extent, they are preventable. There is really no need for the mass degeneration of our older population. By making adjustments to your diet and exercise in your teens, 30s or 50s, you have a good chance of avoiding an inactive later life, which is hardly life at all, dependent on medication.


I have been a Health & Fitness Instructor for 12 years and a keen, but misinformed bodybuilder for many years before that, so most of my posts will be on those subjects, as well as nutrition and diet.  My main fitness activities are indoor rowing, long-distance cycling, HIT (high intensity training for fitness) and strength training.

I'll be including my other interests; photography, art, cinema, music and books from time to time.


A few thousand years ago, a jaded wise man said, "....there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, "See, this is new"? It has been already, in the ages before us." So, while it is difficult to be original, I hope my writing will entertain, inform, educate and amuse you. It may even save you money! As with most writers, my views come from recent encounters; conversations, books, reading on-line and lectures and seminars.


I welcome friendly comments and will try to respond where appropriate. My posts won't be exhaustive. I hope instead, that they will stimulate you to further research, following links that I provide. So, sometimes I'll make claims or comments without full references and refer instead, to the broad source which inspired my comments.


 If you enjoy my writing, please tell others.

Anthony
