Author's Corner
William J. Smith, CSCS, MEPD
This is just a place holder for the bio's of all the author's that will be contributing content and other forms of information to our members. The initial thoughts are to have pictures of all content provider's that link to a specific bio page of that author. From there we asociate their articles with their bio article and grow it from that framework.

A Guide to Fitness for the Athletic Adult
William J. Smith
Self-Awareness and Assessment: Analyze your body using a 4-Component Model The 4-Component Model is a concept I developed as a guide for my friends and family to use when reviewing the quality and nature of their exercise program. The terms Stability, Flexibility, Movement and Coordination, and Posture are by no means my original ideas, but rather elements I feel are extremely important to have in a fitness program. Furthermore, as we age, our bodies undergo various changes. These physical transformations challenge us to find activities that enhance and stimulate our innate movement needs which are needed throughout our activities of daily living (ADLs), as well as providing us with a sense of physical fulfillment. . . . keep reading
