"Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness"
Edward Stanley, Earl of Derby, 1873

As well as all the benefits listed on my home page other major benefits have been in the news on numerous occasions:
Good nutritional habits keep you looking and feeling good as well as help you avoid "diet related diseases" such as adult-onset diabetes, high cholesterol and osteoporosis to name but a few. But how many reasons do you actually need?

"I am 67 years old and have had two total knee replacements and am surprising myself every week with what I can do, but need Tom's wise and gentle encouragement all the same. I can't say that I roll out of bed at 5:45am with delight but I return home for breakfast with new vigour and energy.
I really think that Tom understands working with older people and respects women and that matters a lot to me. Do give Tom a go - it's worth it."
