In the first post we read about the revolutionary PE – Physical Education at this school.

We also read I was the Poster Child for their previous program, where I was like many kids unathletic and selected last.

Then I concluded at 42 years of age I did my first triathlon and I actually finished last but was hooked on the sport. I did several more triathlons and added several more biathlons finishing at age 50 with the Atlanta Thanksgiving Half Marathon.

It was while hosting the syndicated Comcast TV series Today’s Health as both co-producer and co-host that accepted the challenge to become a certified personal fitness trainer through ISSA – International Sports Science Association – at age 50! I had to read a 600 page book on anatomy, physics, chemistry and biology in SIX WEEKS having NEVER studied any of these areas accept biology!

I actually passed the test – written and practical – conducted by “Mister Oak Legs” Tom Platz, a legend in the bodybuilding world (Google him)!

I only wish I had known what you will learn in the next post!
