The acclaimed fitness instructor Sgt. Harvey E. Walden, IV is one amiable, energetic, inspirational speaker.
Of course, I didn't t expect anything less from the popular, impassioned trainer on the hit TV show, Celebrity Fit Club on VH1 (You can watch the show here if you're unfamiliar with it.)
You see, tonight, thanks to the Learning Annex in New York, I had the rare privilege and honor to listen live in the flesh to the former U.S Marines drill instructor expound on the value of a healthy, fit lifestyle.
It was quite exhilarating to be in an intimate group (of around 40 or 50 of us) and then listen to Harvey urge us to get off our butts, take control of our exercise schedule and quit making so many silly excuses about why we can't work out!
For instance, he asked us (I'm paraphrasing): "Why would you want to shorten your life and not stick around longer on this wonderful earth just because you don't take time to stay fit?"
Anyhow, the timing of his talk was certainly well orchestrated. The good-hearted, well-intentioned work-out guru just happened to be motivating us on the very first stop of a multi-city tour to promote his fresh-off-the-press book, Harvey Walden's No Excuses! Fitness Workout.
