“We’ve all heard dozens of methods for getting into shape and been tempted by trendy fads,” he said. “Some of these even may work for a while for someone looking to lose weight or trim down, but ultimately you end up back where you started from, not feeling particularly healthy or fit.

“My goal with these talks is to teach people the best approaches to fitness and a healthy lifestyle,” he said.
