I have had some back pain in the last few days. I changed the perepetual lesson ab exercise from a circular motion to a twisting motion (maybe changing Atlas recommendation was not good). Anyway, I couldn't do the exercises yesterday and reduced them by half from the number I usually do today. Also,...

This week I have watched three infomercials about fitness. All three of them had you sitting in a chair. One was supposed to be good for your back, one for the abs, and the other for all around geriatric fitness. Besides the chair, they also had something else in common. They all promised fitness wi...

Thats one of the weirdest things I have heard of in a long time.

If it were me I would forget the 250.00 and walk out. I might be leaving behind me some money and swimming lessons, but at least I would still have my dignity and self-respect.

Just wanted to give you an update on Atlas Dog. He continues to gain new muscle with every Atlas walk, but I was feeling quite fit the last time we walked, and besides that I have been wanting to make the walks take up less time. Soooo, I decided to bump the walks up to a run/walk. I would pick a po...

I remember that discussion in the old forum. There was some pretty good stuff on it. I came across a product that you might want to try. Its called Shave Secret, or something like it. I have bought it for my staff and they all like it. It takes about four drops massaged into the face and then water....

One of the things I noticed when I read the old advertisments for DT in the museum section (if you haven't done so, you need to do it) is that most of his appeals were to young men who were SKINNY. This is especially noticeable in the old Made a Man Out of Mack advertisment (which is one of the most...

One of the criticisms I often see directed towards Dynamic Tension is that it isn't aerobic enough. I think this criticism comes from people who have never been through the course. These exercises get my metabolism up and going, and its EXTREMELY difficult for me to imagine how any system of exerciz...

Here's an odd thing. I used to just walk around the block with my dog. Then I bumped up the walk to two miles, then up to three (per Atlas instructions). Here is the thing: My dog went from being a house pet to Arnold Schwartzepuppy in no time flat!! He's actually ripped. His shoulder muscles pop ou...

Hey M-B, Good to hear from you. I would be interested in hearing some of the stories told to you by Charles Jr. Also, have you been doing DT since 1977? Are you still doing it? If so, have you only done the Perpetual Lesson or have you mixed in some of the other exercises from the other lessons? Wou...

Hey Mickey, good to see you are back at DT! I tried going to a gym instead of doing DT but never got to the gym. After a year of good intentions and getting really out of shape I, like the Prodigal Son, went home. I started DT again on Christmas Eve. In a little over a month I will be through the co...
