From
Beachbody.com:
A nationally recognized fitness
expert, Steve has overseen
fitness and diet program
development for Beachbody, as
well as its educational outlets,
since 2001. Prior to this he was
a fitness trainer, fitness
columnist, magazine editor, and
athletics coach for 14 years.
He's coached and trained
thousands of individuals, from
the ill and obese to
professional athletes. He did
his undergraduate work at UCLA
and holds advanced
certifications in sports
conditioning, performance
nutrition, fitness therapy, and
fitness training. He's written
hundreds of articles about
fitness and nutrition that have
appeared in more than 30
national publications. He's also
written and directed two films
and written two books on rock
climbing.
Steve serves as the
Beachbody "white mouse," a
nickname he received by
personally testing supplements,
training, and dietary theories
on himself. Active in athletics
his entire life, he is a
two-sport intercollegiate
letterman who still races
bicycles (road and mountain),
competes in multi-sport events,
adventure races, and
ultra-marathons. An expert rock
climber, he has pioneered more
than 500 new routes and climbed
in 30 countries. Most famously,
he tests the physical limits of
his body as it ages, à la his
hero Jack LaLanne, in rigorous
birthday challenges that combine
many physical disciplines. The
goal of these challenges, in his
words, is "to test the limits of
human body and push it beyond
what experts consider possible,
especially as we age."
Steve has turned his passion
into his job and won't be
satisfied until there is no
longer an obesity epidemic. He
is currently working on two
books about nutrition and the
aging athlete.

I'm obviously
not so hot at updating this page.
Prior to
2000 I did some things. Highlights include, I dunno; I don't really
care about accomplishment, just experience. I was an okay athlete.
Played some college sports, basketball in Europe, and spent much of
the 90's living out of a van climbing. This probably would have made
some good blogging but, unfortunately, these things didn't exist
back then.
I really dislike keeping a resume but if the
what I do inspires others to get get healthy, challenge themselves,
and take on life then I'm more than happy to report them. You only
have one life; live it well. |
Above: en route to 400 boulder problems in a
day in 2000. What's next...? |
|
These are some of my more
interesting days. |
I like to set goals
but my reward is always the journey. |
