“I believe human beings are meant to move a lot. Physical fitness is an integral part of total health. Exercise should be developed as a life long habit that is fun and adds meaning to our lives. Therefore, I do not believe in ‘no pain, no gain’. Rather, fitness can be achieved by a coaxing of slow physiological changes or adaptations over a period of time thus enhancing our sense of well being."
