Introductory Message
This site contains information about a variety of health and fitness related topics and is provided to help you learn more  about exercise and nutrition and teach you to effectively apply the information  to help reach your health and fitness goals.

Before searching the website for specific  information or submitting questions or requests for information, please read  these 3 important tips and keep them in mind when thinking about your own health  and fitness: 
 
1.Everyone is different
Differences in physiology,  goals,  lifestyle, etc. will all affect your health and fitness program. Just because  someone had great results with a particular exercise or nutritional
program does  not ensure you will have similar results. Your path to long-term success  involves figuring out what will work best for your individual circumstances. If  you do not know where to start, don’t worry, that's what I am here for. 
 
2.You  are capable of improvement
You should never believe that you are  destined to fail. While you must have realistic goals, the truth is you are  probably capable of much more than you believe. One key is to think seriously  about what you want to accomplish and try to be as specific as possible.  Different exercise and nutritional programs have different purposes. When  you have specific goals, it will be much easier to pick or create a program  designed to meet your goals. In many cases, long-term success or failure can be  predicted by your attitude and preparation. Doing some extra work before you  start and during your program will result in greater success down the road. 
 
3.Think  about your future
This may sound like common sense, but  many people only think health and fitness over the short-term. A good question  to ask yourself is how is my current program going to affect me in 20 or 30  years. For example if someone exclusively follows a high intensity heavy lifting  program to gain size and strength, they may be successful, but over time  (especially with errors in form) they will put unnecessary stress on their  joints which can result in premature joint surgery or decreased functional  abilities (walking, playing with their children, etc.) as they age. In addition,  as you age your priorities will probably change and your training and  nutritional programs should reflect those changes as  well.

Welcome to my newly redesigned website. Everything is basically up and running, although there may still be minor formatting issues. All the  information from my old site is here and I have added even more, such as the content in my Newsletter Archive.

There are also links on the left side of every page that will take you directly to additional sources of information, such as my VFT articles and Videos (most recent work) and my blog, which hasn't been updated recently, but is still a great source of info with over 150 pages of free health and fitness articles. The content is all original (created by me), separated into categories, and fully searchable by keywords, so you can easily find what you want.

Best of all I have decided to keep the $19.99 price, at 
least for now, and of course there is still the 100% money back guarantee. This  book will pay for itself many times over by preventing you from spending  money the wrong personal trainer or joining a gym that is not right for you.

Hello, my name is  Ross  Harrison, CSCS, NSCA-CPT
and I am a certified  personal trainer, strength and conditioning specialist,  nutritional consultant  and I have a degree in psychology. I have been involved in the health and  fitness industry since 1996 and have experience with gym and in-home training,  exercise and nutrition consulting, health foods, supplements, and sports  psychology. 
 
My experience has taught me that while  people are concerned about their health and fitness and there is more
available  information than ever, generally people are more confused as well. This  confusion stems from many sources, but frequently it is related to sales  and  marketing of health and  fitness products or services. I have found that people who are educated about health and fitness are certainly less confused, but they also more likely to reach their individual goals. 
 
The purpose of this website is not to tell everyone about an incredible program that they should follow, because as long as there are differences between people, there will never be a perfect program for everyone. Instead, I want to educate people about  various aspects of health and fitness so they can determine what exercise and  nutritional changes will help them successfully reach their health and  fitness goals.
