Welcome to Precision

Health & Fitness

 

The place for people who want

to improve their quality of life

through exercise and nutrition

 

This site contains information about a variety of health and fitness related topics and is provided to help you learn more about exercise and nutrition and teach you to effectively apply the information to help reach your health and fitness goals.

 

Before searching the website for specific information or submitting questions or requests for information, please read these 3 important tips and keep them in mind when thinking about your own health and fitness:

 

1.      Everyone is different: Differences in physiology, goals, lifestyle, etc. will all affect your health and fitness program. Just because someone had great results with a particular exercise or nutritional program does not ensure you will have similar results. Your path to long-term success involves figuring out what will work best for your individual circumstances. If you do not know where to start, don’t worry, that's what I am here for.

 

2.      You are capable of improvement: You should never believe that you are destined to fail. While you must have realistic goals, the truth is you are probably capable of much more than you believe. One key is to think seriously about what you want to accomplish and try to be as specific as possible. Different exercise and nutritional programs have different purposes. When you have specific goals, it will be much easier to pick or create a program designed to meet your goals. In many cases, long-term success or failure can be predicted by your attitude and preparation. Doing some extra work before you start and during your program will result in greater success down the road.

 

3.      Think about your future: This may sound like common sense, but many people only think health and fitness over the short-term. A good question to ask yourself is how is my current program going to affect me in 20 or 30 years. For example if someone exclusively follows a high intensity heavy lifting program to gain size and strength, they may be successful, but over time (especially with errors in form) they will put unnecessary stress on their joints which can result in premature joint surgery or decreased functional abilities (walking, playing with their children, etc.) as they age. In addition, as you age your priorities will probably change and your training and nutritional programs should reflect those changes as well.

*** IMPORTANT UPDATES***

My website hosting company has decided they are deleting everyone's accounts at the end of April, so I have to find a new provider and redesign my site from scratch. I am not sure when I will switch over, but my site will change dramatically. Hopefully it will end up better than ever, but it will take time, since I am a health and fitness professional and not a website designer, so I will only be working on my website in the little free time I have left over. Sorry in advance for any problems this causes,

   All of my new writing is being published on Virtual Fitness Trainer (VFT). To see all of my recent work (articles, videos, and Q&As), visit VFT using this link.
 
     My blog is still up as well, but have not written new information in a while. It is a great source of info with well over 150 pages of free health and fitness articles. The content is separated into categories and fully searchable, so you can easily find what you want. Click here to check out my blog.
 
    I am also still selling my book - Finding Fitness: A Complete Guide to Hiring the Right Personal Trainer and Making the Most of a Gym Membership.
 
     Best of all I have decided to keep the $19.99 price at least for now and of course there is the 100% money back guarantee. This book will pay for itself many times over by preventing you from spending money the wrong personal trainer or joining a gym that is not right for you. Check out my Finding Fitness page for more information or click the "buy now" button below to get Finding Fitness right away.
 
NOTE: After making your purchase you will be taken directly to the page where you can download the eBook immediately.

     Hello, my name is Ross Harrison, CSCS, NSCA-CPT and I am a certified personal trainer, strength and conditioning specialist, nutritional consultant and I have a degree in psychology. I have been involved in the health and fitness industry since 1996 and have experience with gym and in-home training, exercise and nutrition consulting, health foods, supplements, and sports psychology.
 
     My experience has taught me that while people are concerned about their health and fitness and there is more available information than ever, generally people are more confused as well. This confusion stems from many sources, but frequently it is related to sales and marketing of health and fitness products or services. I have found that people who are educated about health and fitness are certainly less confused, but they also more likely to reach their individual goals.
 
     The purpose of this website is not to tell everyone about an incredible program that they should follow, because as long as there are differences between people, there will never be a perfect program for everyone. Instead, I want to educate people about various aspects of health and fitness so they can determine what exercise and nutritional changes will help them successfully reach their health and fitness goals.
