Quote Of The Day - “The best way to predict the future is to create it." - Peter Drucker
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. Okay, so here we go. Have you been able to meet your fitness goals? Do you have a plan? If not, DON'T WORRY!! Let's see if we can work together to get you back on track.
I am truly humbled that you're here, thirsty for the knowledge I have to share.
Now, whatever your reasons for joining us, rest assured I want to help. It's not easy going it alone. Having to answer to somebody keeps you motivated. Let me be that somebody.
Fitness is a lifelong commitment. Doing things that you enjoy doing. It's not a 2 month endeavor. Take your time and peruse our site. I'm positive you'll like what you see and read.
Now you may be here because you've seen me
on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/ernie.razzano),
Twitter (www.twitter.com/bodybyrazz), or LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/in/ernierazzano).
I would LOVE if you followed my BLOG posts as well, http://erazzano.tumblr.com/
I'm also at many health career fairs where I come into contact with hundreds of people seeking advice about wellness.
But whatever your reason, rest assured, I CAN HELP!!
So, here we are, trying to figure out just what we need to do to finally meet our fitness goals and overcome our challenges.
It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day stuff. It's so easy to allow the days to slide by you without really engaging yourself. It may be fun. It may be relaxing.
But those days turn into a week... Which turns into a month... Which turns into a year... Pretty soon another year has passed and you haven't accomplished anything of note... and you're not a single step closer to achieving your goals and dreams.
It doesn't have to be this way!
You have goals for health and fitness, wellness, and even business endeavors. It's time to finally strive for what we really want in life.
After all, it IS too short!
What have you decided to do to make a difference in your life? Anything? You did?! But you quit? Yea, I've heard that story plenty of times. After all, it IS too short!
Why? - simple, too much, too fast. Whether it's your body, your health, a less-than-satisfying habit, finances, you pick it. It can't and won't be done overnight. Accept that fact and don't get caught up in the hype! Baby steps my friend, baby steps.
Again, my name is Ernie Razzano and I want to thank you for stopping by!! For those of you who have been here before, welcome back!! If this is your first visit you're in for quite a ride.
I am a Certified Master Fitness Training Professional and Wellness Coach and own and operate Body By Razz, LLC. I am also Founding Director of Business Development of a revolutionary nutritional beverage company, called Yoli. (You can learn more on the Gallery page).
With fitness and wellness as the goal, I chose the International Sports and Sciences Association (ISSA), an organization well-known in the industry. Starting with science and building wellness with that as the foundation, is something I am truly passionate about.
Twenty-four years ago, the ISSA challenged the fitness world with it's declaration that Fitness MUST include 3 essential components: Intelligent dietary choices, Cardiovascular Fitness, and Strength (resistance) Training, which was considered pretty radical in 1988. Well, the United States Government just released a new series of fitness recommendations including ALL three components!! Read part of the recommendations on the "Exercise" page under Resistance Training.
The ISSA is also the FIRST AND ONLY Fitness organization to earn national accreditation through the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC), which is listed by the U.S. Department of Education (USDoE) as a nationally recognized accrediting agency, and is a recognized member of The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). This allows the ISSA to move from a .COM domain to a .EDU domain as controlled by the United States Department of Commerce upon approval of the United States Department of Education!! This has opened up the ISSA as being an official educational provider listed in the DANTES catalog approved for all armed forces, veterans and their spouses.
I am extremely proud that I am part of the organization that created the vision for the entire industry.
If you are interested in becoming a Certified Fitness Training Professional you can contact me direct or click on this ISSA link below.
I must say it has been busy! For those of you who know me, know that I am the Founding Director of Business Development with a company called Yoli. It's a health beverage company that is rocking the multi-billion dollar beverage industry. (We launched on November 6, 2009.)
Imagine this - products with no sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no toxic stimulants, no heat pasteurization, made with all natural ingredients, probiotics, resveratrol, and 6 servings of fruit in every serving!! It's here!!!! If you've been searching for a product like this then you need to visit to my other website - www.bewell.goyoli.com.
Heck, I even show you how to save on income taxes!! Just click on the video right there on the Gallery page.
So, who are you trusting to get fitness advice from? The big guy at the gym? The latest issue of Muscle Head Magazine? The cute girl at the gym's Smoothie bar? Hey, we've all been there!
The statistics on physical inactivity and overweight and obesity may paint a pretty grim picture, but don’t be discouraged. The good news is that there is room for improvement in the way we live, work, and play and that only means that we have the ability to make things change for the better. Let's work together and allow me to help you or someone you know get into a lifestyle of fitness.
Now, that being said, let me ask you a few of questions. Of course, they may be rhetorical, but hey, who knows!
Why do we see such a prevalence of type 2 diabetes?
Why does obesity in our country continue to increase?
Why has metabolic syndrome been categorized as a disease?
Tell me why, as we enter mid-life, insulin resistance, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and hypothyroidism are now accepted afflictions?
Why do we insist that fast food joints provide healthy meals and nutritional information?
Who in the heck ever said fast food was healthy?! Who's forcing people into the drive-thru lanes?
Did you know that only 4% of health club members show up at least 3 times per week during their membership time frame?
Why are extra-large size clothing the predominant size sold on home-shopping networks?
Why do these same networks make a fortune on diet programs, exercise gadgets, and weight-loss aids and yet we're still the fattest nation on earth?!!
No longer are people thinking rationally about their health. Our society now expects the government to mange our health!! We want for a pill, or a product manufacturer to finally develop a fix-all.
Don't believe me? I thought you may doubt me so I will provide information on one pill that does work. Understand this, I DO NOT make a habit of recommending products. This one, however has promise. Visit this site and then come back here. http://www.wemarket4u.net/fatfoe/
You need to be rescued from your TV, e-mail boxes, and magazines.
Now, are there supplements that can assist us with certain aspects of our health and well-being? Sure there is, but you better trust the company you're buying from. I have just one company I trust to provide me my supplements (Who? Not important now. You can go to the Gallery page later to find out.).
My point is this: There are guaranteed ways to get fit; without fads or gimmicks. I'm not into this month's fad or the diet dujour. As a Master Level Trainer what I am interested in is science!! I'll give you straight answers, and the whole truth.
'You Won't Care How Much I Know, Until You Know How Much I Care!'
There are going to be things you read that you're gonna love! On the other hand, there will be other items you will totally disagree with. You may even find yourself challenging what I say. You know what, give me your best shot.
This is not an ordinary website. You know, the ones that provide so-called "expert advice" but you have no way of questioning any of it. Not here. Ask questions and get answers, from a real person, FREE. You can afford "free", can't you? Just go to the "Request Info" page and complete the contact form. I'll not only address your questions but also add you to my mailing list. Now you will up-to-date on the latest and greatest in the field of health and wellness
Why am I doing this? Because I know there's too many con artists and scammers out there preying on those who need help the most. I'm disgusted with all the crap!!!
My contact info is on the bottom of every page. I want to hear your thoughts and ideas. I love a challenge and I'm challenging you!
Go through the site and enjoy the articles, recipes, photographs, etc.. Then, if you feel inspired, or even just curious, contact me. I am here to provide the guidance you need.
You may even want to see something added to the site. Have a great recipe, exercise, nutrition tidbit? Just let me know. I'm open to suggestions! My contributor list is growing everyday!! You name it, I have folks giving me their best.
I received an e-mail from a good friend and former client Chuck. Chuck is an avid golfer but more importantly he's a motivator. You know the type. If you need that extra kick in the butt, that simple lift to get and keep you going... Well this e-mail had an ESPN clip that will motivate the heck out of you. If it doesn't create a spark you definitely don't need to be on my web site. So if you have 12 1/2 minutes to spare, either right now or even a little while later I urge you to view this video.
So, visit often as updates occur constantly. You will notice daily health and fitness news links on the Articles Page. I keep at least 2 MONTHS worth of updated news.
Don't forget to visit the Gallery. The biggest shakeup in the multi-billion dollar beverage industry has arrived!! YOU CAN GET A PIECE!!!!!
Enjoy!! I'm looking forward to working with you!!!

Wellness Tip:
What time do you shower? Your answer could have an effect on how well you sleep.
To sleep like a baby, you should shower at the same time each day. Research shows that older adults who stick to a routine when it comes to personal care tend to fall asleep faster and enjoy better sleep quality compared with folks who have erratic schedules.
Sleep quality tends to go down as we get older. It's all due to natural
age-related changes that are out of our control and affect the
sleep/wake cycle. And it's probably why more than 50 percent of older
adults report suffering from insomnia. But here's a way to sleep better
as the years go by: Stick to a schedule. Not only with daily activities
-- like bathing, dressing, and eating -- but also with weekly ones --
like shopping, cleaning, and meeting up with friends. Doing so may help
reinforce circadian cycles.
