With the rapid growth of technology, options abound for those looking for a little help to plan and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The basic pedometer has given way to smartphone apps, smart watches, and wearable fitness trackers. These tools have the ability to help track calories, plan exercise routines and healthy menus, and provide nutrition information when dining out. They also help to predict calories expended during activities and exercise and measure distance, pace, and even heart rate. Although these tools can help to enhance health and fitness, they should not replace professional advice. Personal trainers and coaches provide the experience, education, and knowledge to help people reach their fitness goals in a safe and efficient manner. Health and fitness professional Robert Johnson of Vero Beach, Florida, possesses extensive training, including a master’s degree in applied/clinical and sport exercise physiology and postgraduate work completed through Harvard University. Having provided multi-sport coaching to people of all fitness levels, Robert Johnson now leads and owns Stealth Self Health in Vero Beach.

Robert Davis Johnson, a fitness professional in Vero Beach, Florida, has provided multisport coaching to triathletes at all skill levels. Furthermore, he was a personal trainer to President George H. W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush. In 2004, Robert D. Johnson served as director of marketing and sales during the reorganization of Colorado Altitude Training, a provider of altitude simulation technology.
For many athletes, training at high altitudes offers numerous benefits and, ultimately, an edge over the competition. Because oxygen availability decreases at higher elevations, an athlete’s body must work harder to compensate. Training in these conditions can increase aerobic uptake and anaerobic capacity, in addition to improving the body’s ability to recover from strenuous exercise. Upon returning to lower altitudes, athletes often experience higher levels of speed and endurance, with less overall fatigue. High altitude training can also be incorporated into military training. When soldiers practice exercises at high altitudes, the likelihood that they will experience altitude sickness decreases. In fact, such training typically enables them to perform optimally in a wide range of environments. |
