Ask Mister Fit Helps Carmichael Get Fit

A healthy fitness column on appropriate exercise & choosing a workout that fits your life and needs. A better quality of life through movement, exertion and willpower. Ask Mister Fit.

You may know my face but not my name. As a long time resident and business owner in Carmichael you may have seen me play baseball, coach basketball or been a friend from the swim team, but most will know me as the Black Belt Master Instructor at Robinson’s Taekwondo Carmichael.  As a fifth degree Black Belt I have been sharing the secrets of martial arts and personal fitness for many years. Often people ask, what’s the best way to get fit?

Obviously I have a strong belief that the Korean-based martial art Taekwondo is the best choice for my family and I would recommend it to yours, but individuals are all unique and one size definitely doesn’t fit all! As a life-long athlete with experience in a wide range of personal and team sports, you may wonder what’s right for you. You may have questions about a combination of physical activities, appropriate training levels, how individual health factors into finding the right fitness activity to keep you alive longer.

It’s why you will find I am introducing myself to people who may already know me, as we join forces to provide health information, answer fitness questions and share the real need to get physical for better health, greater confidence, longer life and lower healthcare costs.

You may think you can’t do martial arts, become an Iron athlete or build muscles like our former Governator, but I’m here to help you learn that you can! Anyone can become healthier, build endurance and find a better quality of life thru movement, exertion and willpower. While Taekwondo also provides the lifesaving skills of self-defense, any exercise is beneficial. Knowing what may work best for you is often trial and error. Together we can help short circuit much of that ‘try it on for size’ effort in finding a fitness routine, save you money, make you healthier and give Carmichael the fits!
