As the proud father of two teens and past Chairman to the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, I am committed to educating parents and especially young people on ways to live a long, healthy and active life.

When I was 10, I asked my parents for a set of weights. I had my Charles Atlas book to go along with that.
