There are precious few people in America that are as passionate about health as my Wellcoach and fitness training Bro Kevin Rail. I haven’t spoken to anyone as fired up about saving America as Kevin since interviewing Jack LaLanne for my master’s thesis. Kevin’s got enough one-liners to get you moving for health that would even make LaLanne proud! I get fired up around people like Kevin. He inspires one to do more with his enthusiasm and common-sense approach. Rail is bringing the noise in 2008 as a freedom fighter for fitness and health. Care to join the new Health Revolution instead of following the Fast Food Nation? Read on to hit the red line with Kevin's RAILroad!

I first met Kevin in Orlando at the 2006 Wellcoaches Summit. Unless you’re dead, it would be impossible to be in a room when Kevin walked in and not feel his incredible energy for health and fitness. The guy is passionate and straight up—no BS. That’s the way he “roles.” He’s also a heck of a cook with natural organic foods. He sent me some organic energy bars he cooked up—they had more fiber than a year’s supply of oatmeal and way more wholesome nutrition than those crappy energy bars loaded with high-fructose corn syrup! I love his food evaluation for “workout” food too! ”Does a hamburger make you feel good during a workout? NO!” Enough said.

Kevin’s quote, “Are you tired of going down the wrong road? Then maybe it’s time to take the RAIL road.” is a great way to capture his energy—pretty much that of a freight train! It takes a lot of people with different styles to turn around the American obesity and disease crisis. Some do it with eternal softness never ruffling a feather. God bless them. Some are doing it with a Tour de Force equivalent to Metallica supercharged by a Jack LaLanne juicer—that’s Kevin Rail. Even if you don’t always agree, he makes you think. He gets in your head. His intentions and motivations are true, honest, and sincere. He’s making the world and America a better place.

Kevin’s got some great ideas for changing America. One is a major paradigm shift in our schools—way overdue in my opinion! He says parents are writing off their kids by refusing to support mandatory “fitness” classes in schools and by ignoring the ever-growing obesity problem with today’s kids. “Fitness first” he says—as in the first thing in the morning! He also calls for us to call these classes by “fitness” instead of some other euphemistic “PC” title. I would have to agree. Physical activity is fine, but exercise and fitness is better. He adds we should go back to grading on improvement and add some performance bonuses to kids with exceptional fitness improvements—AMEN!

Kevin’s got some great stuff in the rack for 2008. A short documentary movie on being “too fit and too skinny” as well as a straight up DVD fitness series which would include practical and functional exercises for home, gym, and the workplace. He’s also working on some local TV ideas for the Park City market. We are working together to launch a new internet radio show or Podcast program in 2008 for dealing with fitness and health—straight up, so stay tuned on this one. We promise to tell the truth and bring the noise—and that's no bull! It's a great concept that can go national--and needs to.

Here are a few “Railings” to get you thinking—and MOVING for health with both mouth and body!

"Fat is one letter away from Fit."

"Keep it organic, or keep it out of my house!"

"If you take the ‘s’ out of fast, you will get fat."

"Clothes don't make you look fat. Fat makes you look fat."

"If you're looking to lose weight, maybe you should lose the fork first."

In closing, Kevin Rail is a true freedom fighter for fitness and fellow WellPRO who feels people are too passive or afraid to speak up for health. Kevin is NOT one of them. He’s not afraid to speak out against bogus food or fitness advertising propaganda that lies to people and confuses the truth. He reminds me a lot of a quote by Dr. Martin Luther King that has had a profound impact on my life as a health professional, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

Speak up. Take action. Most Americans adults don't exercise and are overweight or obese--it's time for change. Let’s Role as in “role models” for health! Being silent won’t fix the catastrophic health consequences on the current and future horizons…so bring the noise. Join us in the 2008 Revolution to turn this country around from Fat to Fit—there is only one letter and political correctness separating the two!
