Fitness

A micro-site on Armchair World dealing with Physical Fitness and Self Defense Issues.

We at Armchair World don't advocate couch-potato-hood. Yes, sit at your computer, explore that world but also whenever possible experience it first-hand. If your physical limitations place constraints on your physical activities, then by all means work within those constraints. Our "take" will be to provide educational and informative topics on fitness and self defence that will be of value to those starting out and to those who consider fitness an integral part of their lives.

We begin with a column on self defense by 7-th degree blackbelt Dr. Bernie Weiss. In addition to his obvious karate skills, Dr. Weiss is a psychologist, educator and reserve police officer. This unique mix of training ideally suits him for writing on a topic where awareness of the problem, psychological perspective and physical training are all important considerations. (AW)
