Why did you guys decide to start a health and fitness company?
Because so many people have been asking us how to get fit and healthy, so we decided to combine what we thought were the key elements of our training over the years. The key and common factors that are the basic building blocks of any solid program. What we thought were the crucial elements for us and many other elite athletes around the world and in a variety of sports.

Is this program just for athletes, or can regular people use it too? What differentiates it from all the other health and fitness companies out there?
The information in our program has been gathered based on the health and fitness approaches used by the most successful athletes from a wide range of fields: track, soccer, tennis, etc.. It’s good enough for a champion, but made for the average person. Most people do not have the ability to actually see, let alone train with some of the worlds fittest and greatest athletes. This fact alone is one of the biggest differences over most of what you see out there. Personal trainers (although in many cases are very experienced), just don't have that opportunity. It's one thing to teach it, it's another thing altogether to actually breath it, do it and live it for over 3 decades.

This program is for everyone. The busy executive looking for general health and fitness, the working mom who gained some weight during pregnancy and now wants to lose it, kids, grandparents – they all can do this program and benefit from it.

What do you mean when you say: “you don’t have to be an Olympian to train like one?” 
The basic elements of fitness are the same for everyone. What Olympians do to get into the best possible condition is something anyone can do.

How did you go from being a dreamer to being a Champions? 
By believing, doing and persevering. My motto is: don’t talk about it, do it. Don't tell me, show me. And never, never give up.

Why do you say that people don’t need to do cardio? 
It’s not that they don’t need to do it, it’s that they don’t need to it in isolation from other exercise. Cardio is just getting your heart rate up. Why waste time doing it in isolation when you can combine it with resistance, balance and stability training simultaneously. People have misinterpreted what cardio is. Jumping on a treadmill or running 5 k is not the only or even the best way to improve cardio fitness. You can enhance your cardio fitness more efficiently and effectively by doing a fast-moving circuit workout.

What’s the difference between your strength and weight training routines and traditional ones? 
Traditional routines work strictly on separating muscle group training. We use our whole body in every day life, so you should use your whole body when you train. Muscles work in conjunction with each other, not separately. And the key element missing is nervous system stimulation. You can have the biggest muscle in the world, but if you can't move it what's the point? You can have the most powerful engine in the world, but without a battery or electrical system, you aren't going anywhere. The nervous system is the most important part of the body, and if it is not trained properly, you are not getting the most out of your program or self.

Why is core fitness so important? 
Because the core muscles are what stabilize the body (the joints) and prevent injury. The core is NOT your abs!

Can a person who has been overweight and out of shape all their life really turn things around and become very fit? How? 
Yes. Anyone can do anything they want, as long as they are committed, take it one step at a time, and just start.

What is circuit training and why do you recommend it? 
Circuit training is a method of training that uses all body muscles, functions, and systems simultaneously. We recommend it because it’s total body training, and mimics how our bodies actually function in real life. You don’t wake up in the morning and say “Gee, today I am only going to take my upper body out, the legs are staying at home” You use your whole body all the time, and your workouts ought to reflect that.

What type of diet do you recommend? Why?
I don’t recommend any type of diet, I recommend sensible eating. Mostly vegetables, and eliminate processed foods, sugar, salt and white flour. Most diets are fads that are here today, and gone tomorrow. You do lose weight on them, but as soon as you stop, you usually gain all your weight back and then some.

What’s the relationship between strength training and bone density? 
Resistance training will maintain muscle and bone density, maintaining your metabolism and health.

What do you mean when you say: “Intensity is the Key” to training effectively? 
Intensity is about pushing beyond your limits. You will only improve if you try harder every time. That’s the secret to success.
