I have a Bachelor's in Exercise Science with a concentration in Wellness and Cardiac Rehabilitation. I am currently earning my Masters in both Healthcare and Business Administration.

I spent all of my high school years involved in sports (tennis, track, cross country, swimming ) and my college years involved in fencing, swimming, and being a gym-rat. I spent my first year post-college in a competitive cycling shop. I then became part of a hospital system where I continue to run a Wellness Gym, perform various screenings, educate staff and the public on various health issues, and provide counselling for those that need help.

Jan 4	comment	What stretches can I do to kick higher in martial arts? I both agree and disagree with John. I disagree because stretching is part of physical fitness and those questions are fine here. I agree with him because even after reading the link I still don't grasp exactly how your body is placed for this kick and the people in martialarts.stackexchange.com would be better suited to help.

Dec 30	comment	How do I lose Weight when I weigh 345lbs? You definitely need to get the medical clearance from your primary care physician before you start to exercise. There could be several underlying factors. If insurance doesn't cover those things for you, check local hospitals and medical schools. A lot of times those facilities will have programs for people of all shapes and health conditions to take advantage of. Just remember to start slow, consult professionals, and NEVER compare your progress to another persons. Good luck.
Dec 28	comment	Are there health risks associated with protein shakes? I haven't found a lot of literature on the long term effects of protein use unless you are a child or elderly adult. I will point out that supplements should not be your primary source of protein. Net Protein Utilization will give you insight into what foods will give you the best "bang for your buck." Be careful though... Eggs are generally considered the best food to consume solely from a 'grams of protein consumed to net protein utilized by the body" standpoint. However, large consumption of eggs can lead to cholesterol levels increasing. Just be cautious.
Dec 27	comment	What to do during a week off? Remember for persons without heart conditions the daily recommended amount of sodium intake is less than 2300mg. This value drops to 1500mg of sodium based on age, race, and certain medical issues.
Dec 24	comment	Why do bodybuilders take such a long recovery period? JohnP, you are mostly correct. First thing is I miss spoke and you are correct. The Krebs cycle is aerobic and the Cori cycle is anaerobic. However, the Krebs cycle takes over after the Cori cycle, not after the ATP-PC.
Dec 24	comment	How to avoid hyponatremia(drinking too much water) when hiking? "I want to find out what the body looses with excessive sweating..." Hyponutremia only pertains to sodium levels. I was explaining what the body was losing and the effects of over correcting. I can not, in confidence, answer what he should eat/drink to replace the nutrients.

Dec 21	comment	Why does the Bill Starr Rehab protocol work, if it does? Excellent point about how high-repetition, low-weights positively impact muscle health. In addition, make sure the repetitions are slow and controlled.

Dec 20	comment	What is the right kind of protein for that job? As an aside... Elite athletes can't use more than 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. That means an elite athlete weighing 75 kilograms will not be able to process more than 150 grams of protein per day. The body just processes and excretes most of the excess in urine.
