Thanks for the generous offer. I accept.

What I would like to do is distribute your running workouts to some of my clients (after beta testing them myself) and get their feedback.

I would then write a post based upon their experience.

What do you think?

Doug

I just came across your post on fat distribution and wanted to say that you're spot on and it's great that you're sharing that info with people who need to hear it. I understand that you love interval training as well and I wanted to offer you a few of my Treadmill Trainer iPod running workouts - which are awesome interval running programs. Let me know and I'll happily send you over a few of the workouts. Fellow Torontonian, Yuri! Hey Douglas,

This is very serious. The longterm health implications for childhood obesity is grave and yet the percentage of obese kids seems to be marching toward 100%.

Sounds suspicious to me. We just don't know if they properly work and what the unexpected effects will be. I'm anxious to hear about the first lawsuits and the subsequent answers from labs: "customers should be conscious our products can only work efficiently if the subjects follow a strict and healthy life..."

As soon as obesity is labeled a 'disease', a certain percentage of the overweight population uses the label as an excuse to give up all responsibility. I think we both know a few members of that group. And I would also argue that this mentality doesn't apply only to the obese. Lots of people want someone else to look after them. We all can use a hand from time to time. Shit happens. But when more and more people come to expect or demand that help as their "right"; that should be a signal that things are going wrong. Very wrong Sad but true.
