Demand Health & PE In Our Schools

Nothing causes more sickness and premature death than failure of parents and school administrators to understand the essential nature of quality health and physical education for every child and demand nothing less than excellence.

All the speeches and arguments about how to best finance sicknesscare are like shutting the gate after the cows have left the barn. Fix these two Cardinal Principles of education established by the founders of modern U.S. education, and we will reduce sicknesscare, heal millions, and advance the welfare of the nation beyond measure

Living Longer;
Aging Earlier

Most advance industrial populations are living longer, but aging earlier than their predecessors.

As a society, we are unprepared for the economic cost and predictable social demands these conditions will provoke.

Massive retraining of the elderly to survive and thrive in the last three decades of life is no longer a luxury. It has become absolutely essential.

A Dialogue With
My Readers

I write for two purposes: 1. to stimulate people to get up and get moving and 2. to stimulate people to think and advocate.

I'm delighted when readers respond to what I've said or written, either in the comments section of my blog, which feeds directly to my Facebook page, or by email. The ultimate value of this website will not be the material I put up, but more, the wisdom and observations it may stimulate among readers who share their strength, hope and progress.

Case in point: I've been having an invigorating email dialogue with Richard Best, who came across the site a while back. I've posted that conversation here in a new Dialogues section.

But please don't confuse talking about exercise with the actual work of doing your reps and sets and stretches and cardio work, as so many academics, bureaucrats and members of the sicknesscare establishment seem to do. Thinking about doing something doesn't get your body where it needs to be: Exercising vigorously every day.

Testimonials

Dr. "Coach" Richard Keelor...this man changed my life! Being raised by a single mom and moving many times, I was fortunate to land at a school where Dr. Keelor was my sports coach and became my life coach. My life was changed forever. Not only did I become a much better athlete, I became a better man, son, brother and participant in the community.
To this day, I carry the "Life Lessons" taught to me by this remarkable individual. Dr. Keelor's knowledge, leadership, dedication, motivation and, most of all, caring and understanding gave me life skills that I live by everyday.
We all experience challenges throughout our lives. We need tools to help see us through. Dr. Keelor gave me the 'Life Tools" needed to meet these challenges and move forward as a stronger, more productive individual. I have and always will keep passing these lessons on to everyone throughout my lifetime. With sincere respect and appreciation,

Dr. Keelor,
I wanted to write to personally thank you for helping me devise a workout program. I completed my first week of the program (that you discussed with my father via telephone) and I am enjoying it. I think this program is very doable (though challenging) and I will work hard at it.
— Scott Zycher
(Note: Scott's dad, Ben "The Bear" Zycher, was a key member of the Beverly Hills High School football team I coached in the late '60s that went from zero wins for several years pre-Keelor to league championships.

Coach Keelor:
My PTA [see PTA FAQ for more information] is more today and progressively increasing. I was more stiff this morning and progressively throughout today…. I do believe that I have an adequate weight at this beginning of a new routine, as you've instructed. My PTA feels just right primarily due to my base DB program exercises that I've been doing for about four months or so. Thanks again for this beginning program!
