WELLNESS MINUTE :
I get up VERY early every morning, weekends included. 0430 at the very latest. I have a really crazy tip to help me do this….I go to sleep earlier than most. 2100 at the latest. Do I miss out watching some sports at night? Yep. But that’s what ESPN SportsCenter and breakfast with my son is for.?

Three Hours of Cardio
250 Push Ups
250 Sit Ups
250 Squats
250 Dumbbell Curls and Presses
Deadline?is exactly one week after you start. This one is legit!?
NUTRITION:
As you may remember, on January 3rd of this year, I stopped eating breakfast. The first few days kinda sucked, but?it’s been a game changer for me. Any lingering fat I had melted away. As my son said, “Holy crap, you have a six-pack!”?
HOW YOU DOIN’?
Take a moment TODAY (it’s a Sunday for goodness sake!) and call up a friend. Not a text. An actual phone call. You may be saving his/her life.?
WORKOUT SONG OF THE WEEK:
Time 4 Sumaksion by Redman. NJ. This was Mike Tyson’s ring entrance song. (Parental Advisory! Only those 50 and older should listen!)?

SORRY, NOT SORRY:
I’m on a mission here. If I step on a few toes so be it. Get up, get moving.?
Life is so much better when you’re physically fit. And that’s that.?
ACHES, PAINS AND OBSTACLES:
I re-aggravated my knee doing pull ups. If you know, you know.?
IF I HAD A DOLLAR:
Every time someone told me, “I’ll get started once I clear up X.” No, no, no.?
Today is the day to get started. It will help you clear up X.?
LOOKING AHEAD:
We’re not getting any younger. And each day/week/month/year you put off your wellness means that things can start getting pretty miserable soon.?
WHO READS THIS THING?
You might be surprised but some of the most bold faced names in finance, media, tech, hospitality, retail, fashion and Hollywood are loyal readers.?
WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS?
I’m Ray Salomone. I’ve been a trainer longer than most trainers have been alive. I was a two-time winner of the US Army Physical Fitness Award. I had a brief?(three hours!) yet illustrious career on Wall Street (Please ask me about this!) and I’ve been the private personal trainer to many of the most prominent men and women in finance, real estate, tech and media.?
I’m 58 years old and I will not go gentle into that good night (Dylan Thomas, again).?
Join me on this journey to beat back aging.
