This week I attended a fabulous book release party in NYC to celebrate the launch of a brand new fitness book by renowned personal trainer and fitness expert JB Berns.  If you're unfamiliar with JB, he's the innovater of the Urban Rebounder (a miniature trampoline workout system and DVD) that is now in over 5000 gyms worldwide and 18 different countries.  Consumer Reports calls it one of their top 100 products in 2008.  The event went off without a hitch.  At the end every guest received a book bag with all of JB's DVDs AND his new brand new book, Do It Or Age Quickly, where we had the opportunity to have him sign.

As a child you're taught to try new things.  Some kids fight and won't touch a vegetable with a ten foot pole, while others will eat just about anything.  Why is it that as we get older we become stuck in our old ways and avoid stepping out of our little box?  This can be applied to just about anything, but what I am referring to is in terms of diet.
