I had so many responses to my blog announcement that I decided not to wait to write until
July 14th to publish the next one. 
But first:
I AM NOT RENDERING MEDICAL OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.  IF ANY INDIVIDUAL IS CONSIDERING CHANGES IN HIS OR HER HEALTH-RELATED PRACTICES OR REGIMENS, MEDICAL ADVICE OR PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE IS REQUIRED AND SERVICES OF A COMPETENT PHYSICAN OR HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHOULD BE SOUGHT.

Our level of fitness is our personal declaration  of independence!  We can improve that level by exercising without pain.  The stronger we become the more indepndent we are!  Painless exercise is the BEST medicine known to mankind.

NO PAIN...NO GAIN is for athletes.  They have to ignore pain to excel in their chosen sport.  That' the price they have to pay to compete on a higher level.  When they ignore their body's pain signals injuries happen.  That's why athletes look like walking ads for Johnson and Johnson - tape here and there and everywhere.  Inorder to compete at a high level that have to endure serious aches and pains.  They compete hurt!  Our society rewards them with fame and fortune, cheers and respect, honor and praise.  We regard them as super heroes and warriors. 

The rest of us - the 99.999% - can enjoy the benefits of exercise without pain.  We can gain strength, agility, flexibilty and endurance.  We can improve our immune systems, sleep better and live longer.

The value of exercise is not a new idea.  Cicero said "Exercise is the secret by which our youthful vigor is carried over into old age."  By the way, Cicero wrote this 2,100  years ago.

I hope to motivate you to begin exercising for a healthier life.  That's why I wrote "ME TARZAN!...YOU TRAIN!...WITHOUT PAIN!"

I was motivated to exercise, first to play sports and then to get roles on television and in movies.  I would never have been selected to star in TARZAN THE APE MAN if I was flabby and out of shape!  I enjoyed a fifty-plus year career in Hollywood because I was fit.  Exercise has been part of my routine throughout my life.  I exercise to live!

Stay healthy,
Denny Miller

  1. Denny, thanks for explaining about the "no pain, no gain" saying applying primarily to athletes. I've heard that all of my life and thought it applied to everybody!! I've been reading your book and will look forward to what you have to say in this blog! -- Bridge
