Physical Education
It's Exercise 101 ... It's the basics of classical exercise. It's what works. It's how to get your muscles to work; how to get your heart and lungs to work. And when everything in your body works right, then you look great! That's the beauty of health & fitness -- everything comes together.
Classical Exercise
The art or practice of designing simple movements as stimulus for positive physical change in the development and maintenance of human anatomy and physiology, reflecting the balanced need for musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and cardiorespiratory regeneration.
Strength
Physical development is not a mystery; nor can it be found in one mode of exercise. Strength training builds a great body. The exercises are based on basic muscular functions. Strength workouts are weekly forever.

In fact, we want to hold on to these changes -- a good body for keeps. That’s my idea of longevity, or agelessness…”
