Time Magazine’s John Cloud comments on my workout:
Posted Nov 28 2009 10:02pm
Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
After John Cloud wrote the now famous article saying that exercise doesn’t help with weight loss, I contacted him and offered a free workout. Here’s his thoughts after an hour in Central Park with me.
Ray Salomone’s workout was by far the most intense workout of my life. At some point I stopped being able to think clearly, but I know we did lots of pushups in the dirt. By the end, I looked like a high-school football player who needed to puke. But some of the skills I learned in that one workout–boxing moves, doing most sets to voluntary exhaustion, focusing on total-body exercises rather than trying to isolate particular muscles–remain part of my workouts even now. Thanks Ray! You scare me, but in a good way. John Cloud- Time Magazine
