"In a way, poliovirus fitness for survival seems to have decreased due to our own increase in fitness for survival. In areas with high population density, poor living conditions, bad sanitary provisions and tropical temperatures, poliovirus is endemic and causes a mild childhood disease. Before 1850, this was the case in Europe and the United States. Nowadays, it applies in particular to developing countries in Africa and Asia. In such areas, every child over the age of four has already had a poliovirus infection, usually mild and unnoticed." - Jaap Goudsmit M.D., Viral Fitness: The Next SARS and West Nile in the Making (Get the book.)

"According to the President's Council on Physical fitness and Sports, a balanced physical fitness program incorporates the following elements:6 Warm up: Begin gradually. Start with 5 to 10 minutes of basic warm-up exercises, which can include gentle stretching or a short, slow walk. Cardiorespiratory fitness: Endurance athletes, such as long-distance runners or swimmers, have the stamina for their physically demanding sports because they have good cardiorespiratory fitness." - Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac., Alternative Medicine Magazine's Definitive Guide to Sleep Disorders: 7 Smart Ways to Help You Get a Good Night's Rest (Get the book.)

"We have committed ourselves as full-time coaches and trainers, so our ability to learn, research and challenge has given us a unique and fresh outlook on fitness and health. We have certifications and degrees and all that other jazz, but I don't focus on that and I don't think you should either. A College, Masters, or PhD degree doesn't guarantee that anyone can give you the information that you need. A success to me is if someone I teach succeeds—plain and simple—and people we teach (and listen!) do succeed. Is your guarantee really 200%? I want you to succeed." - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's fitness Solution (Get the book.)

"Many pieces of abdominal equipment advertise impossible results on the infomercial that have no chance of helping you achieve your overall fitness goals. Consumers buy into the lie because everyone wants fast results around the midsection. Unfortunately, no piece of equipment can give you fast results. I am not saying this is a bad piece of equipment for working your abdominal area. This, and a hundred other pieces of abdominal equipment can certainly help you to improve muscle tone in your abdominal area." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"Obviously the survival of prey animals depends on the number and fitness of their predators, but apparently the opposite is also true: the survival of predators depends on the number and fitness of their prey. It depends as much, or more, on the presence of food as on the absence of predators. Rinderpest no longer occurs in the West, but the related foot-and-mouth disease still breaks out in occasional epidemics. It is rather harmless to cows and causes only a self-limited illness of short duration. However, in 2000, cattle herds in England were decimated due to this disease." - Jaap Goudsmit M.D., Viral Fitness: The Next SARS and West Nile in the Making (Get the book.) "In a way, poliovirus fitness for survival seems to have decreased due to our own increase in fitness for survival.

"American research found that when exposure to sunlight was added to fitness programs, subjects had a 19 percent increase in performance as measured by physical fitness tests. In addition, those exposed to UV light had 50 percent fewer incidences of colds than those who weren't. Their immune systems were maintained at a high level of efficiency. Also, children who received extra UV light during wintertime had a marked increase in physical fitness. Taking a vacation to a sunny locale, for example, can help balance the immune system during wintertime." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

Write down your daily exercise goal and check it off when you have completed it. þAppreciate your progress. Keep a record of your activities and progress." - Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon, Hunger Free Forever: The New Science of Appetite Control (Get the book.)

"Chiropractic Adjustment Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical science that focuses on total body wellness including fitness, nutrition, and psychology. Its objective is to restore efficient energy flow in the body. When people think of chiropractic treatment, most think "back pain relief," but that is only a part of what chiropractic focuses on. The muscular structure that holds our spines and other body parts in proper alignment can become weakened due to various stresses, improper nutrition, and lack of fitness." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Don't rush into it, either: you should build up your fitness gradually. Do not over-extend yourself while exercising. If you feel strained, tired or uncomfortable, review your programme, cut out the ones that are too difficult at the moment and lessen the number of times you perform an exercise until you can build your fitness to an improved level. And, of course, don't push yourself to a point where you bring on an asthma attack. A Daily Exercise Programme The most difficult thing about an exercise regimen or physical pursuit is 'putting on your shoes', in other words—getting started!" - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Treadmills If you enjoy running and do not have any back, knee, ankle or hip problems, the treadmill is still the most popular piece of cardio equipment on the market. The problem with running is the high-impact effect that will ultimately create wear and tear on your joints and connective tissue. When purchasing a treadmill there are many features you need to compare before you can make an informed decision. Look for at least 2.0 continuous horsepower (CHP), which is the power of the motor on a continuous basis, not just the maximum power at any one point in time." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"OWe don't need more studies or more funding, we need more people like you who are willing to fight for their wellbeing and take action for themselves. Tell everyone you know about this book. Give them as gifts. If you want a bunch of them, visit the website and call us directly and we'll give you a killer deal.

It will constantly grow as the number of people who are using it as a resource grows. This is my mission and I'd love for you to help." - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's fitness Solution (Get the book.) "An image collage is a collage, just like the ones you might have done in grade school. Except this time it is a serious way to accomplish your goals. To make one all you need to do is find a 8.5 X II sheet of paper (or larger if you like!), grab a bunch of old magazines and then start cutting out different pictures and words that support the goals you've set! This is a breeze to do for the creative. For the not so creative it is also a breeze because you don't need to worry how it looks... all you need to worry about is if all your goals are represented in the form of images and words." - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's fitness Solution (Get the book.) "Visualization is the key to making your goals come to life. You should spend time thinking and visualizing yourself as healthy, fit and energetic. Picture yourself smiling and taking a walk, or picture yourself with a six-pack of abs. Once you make a habit of this, your self-image will shift from how you view yourself now to a new self-image that takes on whatever traits that you envision. Regardless of your objective, for the best results you should visualize the steps it will take you to get there." - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's fitness Solution (Get the book.)

"For the overweight and obese men, low fitness accounted for one and a half times as many cardiovascular deaths as did elevated cholesterol. Even more important was the overall risk of death: The normal-weight men with elevated cholesterol levels had no additional risk, but the unfit men had a 60 percent higher risk of death. For the overweight men, elevated cholesterol levels increased the rate of death from all causes by 30 percent, but low fitness increased the death rate by more than twice as much, 70 percent." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"I'm talking about power walking, hiking, soccer, basketball—running-type activities that raise the heart and respiratory rate and increase fitness with every single outing. Even though these exercises can be combined with muscle-building/weight lifting, I prefer to focus on aerobic fitness. For some parents, it takes an explanation of the technical reasons that exercise is necessary for them to finally be convinced. Expanding on what we learned through Dr. Wendt's study, I explain to them the following: that with sustained exercise, blood flow to the brain is increased." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Fitness and health are not the same. fitness is the ability to perform athletic feats. Health is a state of overall well-being, excellent digestion and vibrant aliveness. Many professional athletes have excellent fitness, but poor health. This is why we often see some former athletes ending up as physical wrecks after illustrious careers. Daily exercise and stretching are as essential to excellent health as diet. Exercise and stretching move the lymph fluid and elevate the immune system." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"Apparently the compromise between virulence and fitness of the virus consists in this case of the fact that the KSHV does indeed cause cancer, but mainly in that part of the population—men—in which high numbers are less necessary for reproduction and survival of the host. Besides, the men with classic KS are largely past the age of reproduction. It is not unusual for a virus or other pathogen to pick on one sex more than the other. For example, papilloma viruses cause cancer only in females. They are part of the papova family, along with polyoma viruses." - Jaap Goudsmit M.D., Viral Fitness: The Next SARS and West Nile in the Making (Get the book.)

"When you see an advertisement that offers fast results that do not seem possible, just stop and remember what I have said before — if it sounds too good to be true, it is. We speak about the diseases that result from obesity, and in fact now label obesity itself as a disease, yet we fail to recognize the hidden mechanism that is the catalyst that creates the impulses that Conditioned to Buy lead to many of our self-inflicted conditions." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"Researchers have found that brisk walking (fifteen to thirty minutes a day, three times a week) can improve cardiovascular fitness, which can result in increased function in certain regions of the brain. Stay within a relative range of comfort, and find activities that you enjoy—not ones that you merely endure. Whatever the case, multiple studies have proven that physical fitness in older adults is associated with decreased incidence of mortality, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, falls, and disability." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"An important equation in exercise is "Exercise plus rest equals fitness." In other words, it takes both exercise and adequate rest to build fitness. Either alone will not do it. Often beginner exercisers will sacrifice sleep time to get up and exercise. Chronic fatigue may result, and the whole purpose of exercise—to feel better—is negated. It's important to get both rest and exercise. 9. Exercise technique. Various aerobic activities require special techniques to avoid injury. Flexibility exercises demand stretching below the pain threshold." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"If you, as parents, are fully supportive of each other through difficult situations and stand united and committed to the work of conquering the symptoms of ADD/ADHD with good food, good fitness, and much love and support, your children will be less inclined to act out and more willing to cooperate. In addition to doing maintenance on your relationship, you'll also want to reconnect with friends whom you've lost track of." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"One explanation for this result lay in the fact that data from extremely sedentary patients were compared to data from active healthy people; these differences in activity or fitness alone can explain much of the difference between patients and controls. However, our own careful review of the immunological literature noted that one test—for natural killer (NK) cells—was frequently abnormal across studies, with either low numbers of cells in the blood or low activity of existing cells." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "Although people in these occupations are experts at helping people improve their fitness, they rarely have experience in dealing with people who have serious problems with fatigue or widespread bodily pain. They push too hard, often with disastrous results. Thus their weekly exercise prescription will almost definitely produce the yo-yo effect. And that is something to avoid. In my own practice, I work with a wellness counselor who is an expert at coaching people to get on and stay on the road to wellness." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)
