The Purpose Behind this MyPersonalTrainerNYC.com BLOG (And My Business) . . .

“The secret to success is constancy to purpose.”
- Benjamin Franklin

The premise of “connecting”:  “Sharing my knowledge and resources, time and energy, friends ans associates, and empathy and compassion in a continual effort to provide value to others, while coincidentally increasing my own.”
– Excerpted from “Never Eat Alone,” Keith Ferrazzi

“I slept and dreamt that life was joy.  I awoke and saw that life was service.  I acted and behold, service was joy.”
– Rabindranath Tagore

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
– Anne Frank

The quotes above, and many others like them, symbolize what inspires me every morning as I spring out of bed.

They embody the lessons I’ve been taught by those who have contributed to my life – from my parents to my professors to my siblings to my friends to my peers…. many of them inspiring compassion, respect for others, a spirit of giving and love of life.  Through this blog, I hope to connect with you and contribute to your life, just as you, by reading and commenting, will contribute to mine.

That said, the purpose of this blog is. . .

  • To help others.
  • To inspire others.
  • To share my knowledge on fitness and health.
  • To share my unique perspective on fitness, health, self-empowerment (and maybe the occasional off-the-wall topic that crosses my mind).
  • To provide you with the principles essential to achieving fitness and, more importantly, achieving health THROUGH fitness. (‘Turning Fitness Inside Out‘ with the F5 Fundamentals)
  • To create discussion about the fact that, despite all that’s been researched and written on the technical aspects of health, fitness and nutrition, we’re failing miserably as a society to get healthy and fit.
  • To use said discussion to unearth the truth. . . and, hopefully, create solutions.

Whether you agree or disagree with  my viewpoints; whether you’re here for education or entertainment, my purpose here is to get to the truth, in the simplest manner possible, and have a conversation about it — with you, the avid fitness enthusiast, or you, the MD, therapist, coach or ayuverdic practioner — so that we can all learn while unearthing the simple truths together.

Thanks for reading.

    Dear Christopher,
    Thank you for your recent article “Ignore Swine Flu Hysteria: 5 Reasons NOT to get The Swine Flu Vaccine . . . and 5 Things You Can Do To Promote Health During Flu Season”
    I have enjoyed reading this and have forwarded it along to patients, friends, family and colleagues. The importance of getting adequate sleep, the right nutrition, proper exercise and hygiene to keep the immune system working well is essential! As is lowering stress. Education is the key. And this is what I emphasize with my patients. Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine are another great tool to assist the whole person to maintain balance and a healthy immune system.
    I really appreciate your post and will continue to pass this along.
    Sincerely,
    Kimberly Reid, L.Ac.
