Tim Grover Says PYOW…Yes

Michael Jordan’s Personal Trainer Endorses OPYOW…

Tim Grover is the exercise physiologist (M.S. University of Illinois, Chicago) who served as Michael Jordan’s personal trainer for over a decade during Jordan’s long and storied NBA career.

Currently Tim trains and counsels other high profile athletes including LeBron James who’s considered Jordan’s heir apparent, Alex Rodreguez, superstar of the NY Yankees, Dwayne Wade who with his Miami Heat teammates, recently won the 2006 NBA Championship. Check Tim out at www.attackathletics.com.

Tim is also a man of few words (his actions speak louder) which is why it’s a great compliment to have him say…

“Operation Pull Your Own Weight is an inexpensive way to help prevent childhood obesity. I recommend it as an easy and measurable way to help kids keep fit.”

Dr. Tommy Boone, Co-Founder and former President of the American Society of Exercise Physiologists, and Chair of the Department of Exercise Physiology at the College of St. Scholastica in Deluth, MN says of OPYOW…Hi Rick,
I read the (Chicago Health and Wellness) article. It is well written. Your passion for helping young children avoid obesity is obvious. Strangely, the article reminded me of the bar my dad put at the top of the door to our bedroom. We would chin ourselves upon entering and leaving. I never did get fat and still remain rather strong for my age. A good idea always has a beginning. I wish you the best with your work. It comes across that you are doing the right things for the right reasons.

Sincerely,
Tommy
