Better health means more than just losing weight or being able to walk an extra half mile. When your body is stronger, you’re better able to face the pressures of the day. You’ll feel more alert and self-confident.
You’ll be less susceptible to colds and sickness. Your family will benefit by having you around longer. If others did the same, our country could save millions on medical insurance costs.
So even if you’re not motivated to do it for yourself, do it for family…
do it for friends… do it for your country… JUST DO IT!!!
This website will help you start immediately (and almost painlessly).

Inspiration for this website
We all want to feel our best. This site is designed to help you achieve better health without spending
too much time or money.
My name is Ray Christensen (aka ‘Marathon Man‘).
In 2002, I turned 40 and took up running. Through a proper diet, plenty of training and an increased focus on nutrition, I’ve been feeling younger ever since. In that time, I’ve run 15 marathons (26.2 miles).
But you don’t have to be a marathoner to feel the benefits of being fit.
Each of us can take steps to improve our strength, stamina, and self-confidence. Work on one aspect of your health at a time (such as diet, or physical endurance) or combine everything into your personal fitness program for the greatest rewards!
