So I am definitely not a cutting edge guy as far as
technology goes, or most anything else, and as a matter
of fact I am proud to think of myself as being old school in most
things I do. It takes too much time and energy (not to say money)
to know that I have to have an I-Phone or Pod or that I need to take my
daughters to a Hanna Montana concert.

You would think I would know what the hottest new supplement is or what class is the
one you have to be in if you really want to get fit. But is being on the cutting edge necessarily being in the know, especially when we are dealing with health and fitness? Usually those people who are on top of the fads as far as diet and exercise goes are those that eventually drop out until the next fad sweeps them up a year or two later.

So I thought it might be a good idea to use cutting edge methods (although
blogging is probably back page news to many of you) to get the old school
mentality out to the IC community in regards to health and fitness.

We know what it takes to lose body fat safely for example. Will eating appropriately and exercising consistently work as quickly and effectively for you? Maybe not, but taking the new “magic potion” may not only not work but it could be dangerous. In most cases it comes down to a little cutting edge knowledge and a lot of old school consistency and dedicated to reach our fitness goals.

Desire needs no gimmicks!

So what do you think? The Wellness Clinic will put out a blog every Monday

on some health/fitness related topic at www.ithaca.edu/wellness to help our community be informed and be well. Please respond with comments and questions to wellness@ithaca.edu
