Who Am I and What Do I Do?

I was at a Christmas party this weekend and met a few new people. Of course, one of the first questions that always comes up is "What do you do?"

It always takes a while to explain exactly what I do, and people often seem a little confused until they fully understand it, so I wanted to set the record straight.

I'm Mike Ross and I help people over 60 live healthier. I do this several ways. First, I work with seniors by way of classes, one-on-one training, consultations, and lectures. Second, I provide written information through my website, newsletter, articles, and my book, The Balance Manual.

I am constantly searching for new and innovative approaches to senior fitness. I try to absorb as much health and fitness information as possible, and then apply it in a way that helps people live longer and better.

All that's a little harder to explain than the average job, but once people understand it, they're usually pretty interested.
