I just wanted to say "thanks"! I have been working out in the same gym as you for the past 19 years and I've rarely spoken to you. I know you must think I'm a "pretty boy" for doing cardio and NOT doing hardcore things like yelling and dropping weights. Oh well…maybe you will like me better after this "thank you" letter.

Typically all the guys (and some women) I see in the free-weight room are trying to gain as much muscle as possible. Worse than that, they will take the muscle gain on any part of their body. The problem with gaining muscle just for the sake of gaining muscle quickly creates an unbalanced body.

Matt Lauer, co host of NBC's Today Show, is in better shape than most 25-year-olds even though he is closer to 50!
