Best fitness advice received: Actually I paved my own, unique road toward fitness.
Best advice to stay fit for a lifetime: You can either use your body or abuse your body. The choice is up to you. Remember, you are only given one body. What you choose to put inside your mind and body today lays the foundation for your tomorrow. Yes, staying fit for a lifetime is not easy. Knowing what to do and actually doing it is the major separation of human beings. Some of us may think about it; others may even try, but only winners will accept personal responsibility and get it done.

Best fitness advice received: Keep a lot of variety in your work outs. Mix it up so you can stick with your fitness program and not get bored. Also, if you like to participate in outdoor activities like I do, i.e. tennis, golfing, skiing or hiking, its important to balance your program with both strength and aerobic exercises so that you can stay fit enough to do the things you love for as long as possible.
Best advice to stay fit for a lifetime: You can't view working out and exercise as a punishment for over eating, etc. Start out slow and gradually make exercise and fitness a part of your every day routine. You want to get to a place where if you don't workout, you feel the same as if you didn't brush your teeth that day. Fitness is not a quick fix, 2-week program. It is a lifestyle that requires balance. Balance your exercise program and balance your eating. Don't diet. Don't make exercise something complicated. It is really simple...you just need to get off the couch and start moving a little at a time and build from there. The key is to just get started!

Best fitness advice received: Everything works, but
nothing works for very long. In other words, mix it up! Variety is important from the standpoint of avoiding mental and physical ruts and also avoiding overuse injuries.
Best advice to stay fit for a lifetime: Find activities you enjoy doing so that exercise becomes something that you look forward to, rather than being a chore.

Mack Newton
Owner Newton Fitness, Newton Taekwon-Do
Years in the industry: I started my martial arts training when I
was 9 years old and have trained without a break (except when I was in the
hospital) for 56 years. I have operated a martial arts/fitness facility in
the Valley for over 25 years.

Best fitness advice received: My first Taekwon-Do instructor
advised me to make fitness a life style and that whatever I chose to do, make sure it was something that didn't expire as I got older. Make sure it was something I could do forever, even as time continued to go by.
Best advice to stay fit for a life time. Make fitness a habit as early in life as you can. Don't wait until you're overweight, have no energy or just sick and then try to use exercise as an eraser for past mistakes. But...also remember...it's never too late to get started and become the best you can be.
