Too many years sitting at the computer 12 hours a day marketing and selling a sports fan product took a toll on my health. I ballooned up near 260 lbs and couldn't walk far without breathing heavy!
As a former executive with Discovery Channel, I had edited and produced programming requiring extensive research. I applied the same dedicated research techniques to finding the absolute best and natural way to quickly lose weight while retaining lean muscle. Weeks of research manifested into a weight loss routine that I now call "Kohnetics".
In 3 months I lost over 60 lbs.
The "P2 Towel"
Based on the research, I knew 'walking' was going to be the main fitness driver, but I didn't have time to go out walking, then go to a gym to do resistance exercises, so I invented an apparatus that I could use to do isometric 'resistance' exercises while walking. I combined a towel with a piece of dense Styrofoam that allows for essential push and pull isometric exercises during the walks. I call it the 'P2-Towel". It's currently Patent Pending.
Having lived my life in fantastic shape during early adulthood, spent a prolonged state grossly overweight and out of shape, and now back to maybe being in the best shape of my life, I can unequivocally say that ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE are BETTER when you are fit--you can't help but face each day with an attitude of "I can do anything!". It's really a super way to live life.
Credentials: Former lead fitness trainer specializing in muscular development through High Intensity Training (HIT)at Aspen Hill Nautilus training facility. I was teaching cutting edge training at the time as it focused on "one quality set" of weight training repetitions to the point of momentary muscular failure. HIT training was popularized by the NFL's Washington Redskins in the early 1980's and is still in use today and quite popular among those that want increased strength without spending too much time in the gym.
