    About Robert Ferguson
    — The Author of the
    site —

    To develop the mind and neglect the body is analogous to developing a powerful jet engine without a fuselage to carry it.-Fredrick C. Hatfield, PhD

    Check your baggage, emotional and physical, at the door. Leave the outside world there...You can pick it up when you leave, and I promise you it will seem lighter then. Working out puts things in perspective. -Gunnar Peterson, CSCS

    Move or die is the language of our Maker in the constitution of our bodies. When you cannot walk abroad, walk in your room...Rise up and then open your windows and walk about your room a few times, then sit down again to your books or your pen.—John Adams (giving advice to his son, Charles Adams)

    Health must not be sacrificed to learning. A strong body makes the mind strong.-Thomas Jefferson

    Would you expect a fireplace to burn consistently throughout the day, keeping your living room at a steady temperature? Hell, no...you'd replenish the tinder every couple of hours. And you would never throw a huge stack of wood on the fire at any one time.-
    Ian King (when referring to Douglas Kalman, R.D.’s analogy of a fireplace and the correct way to feed the human body.)

    It has been said many times that we have literally engineered physical activity out of our lives.--John C. Peters
