Welcome!

I embody the phrase ‘if I can do it, so can you’. I was gaining an annoying 5 to 7 lbs of weight per year unitl I finally had enough and decided to make some changes. During the process I invented JumpSnap because I knew jumping rope was the best form of exercise to burn calories and lose inches but I tripped so often on the rope it was frustrating. Like most great inventions, frustration led me to create JumpSnap. As you can see by my pictures on the home page, I lost 50 lbs and trimmed over 6 inches off my waist so I am now passionate about sharing what I learned to help others do the same in an often confusing and contradictory weight loss market.

The intent of JumpSnap Nation is to create an open forum that allows readers to listen, learn and share information about everything related to health and fitness. I will share my own personal experiences along with those that might shed some light on topics like policy, nutrition, exercise and weight loss. You’ll also hear occassional updates on JumpSnap and other fitness ventures I’m working on but by no means will it be limited to just those topics.

As a nation, we face massive challenges with the rapid increase in our unhealthy approcah to living. Please join me and spread the word about JumpSnap Nation in an effort to promote Healthy Living for All!

Healthy Jumping…
