50 year old 24 Hour Fitness Personal Trainer back from Cirque in China!

Who would have ever guessed, that at the age of 50, I'd be performing as a high diving clown in a Chinese circus! Even more amazing was the fact that I performed acrobatically, nearly non-stop, in a 75 minute show, almost every day for six months. Many times I'd perform in 3 shows the same day! Diving from the cliffs of Acapulco, or the numerous World High Diving Championships I'd been in over the years paled in comparison to the challenge of performing in China.

Needless to say, my ability to manage my own health and fitness was a critical part of my ability to endure. And applying the principles that I'd been teaching as a personal trainer at 24 Hour Fitness, using functional training techniques, was paramount to my success. I love sharing the joy I feel when I'm performing athletically, but more importantly I love helping others find their inner strength to make positive changes in their health and fitness.
