Karlton,

1. Fitness clients usually have goals when they seek a coach. What would be the optimal course to achieving fitness goals?
2. Men's health has come front and center; it is about time, especially in mental health. There is general acceptance of fitness as a physiological health strategy. Would you say fitness impacts mental health?

4. I see you are now a grandfather. Most men your age have what is fondly known as a ‘dad bod.’ Many ex-military do not maintain basic fitness post the military, yet you, at age 46, won a USA Track & Field Silver Medal in the 800m. What is your secret?
