I found something I found to be pretty interesing online. With everyone always talking about the price of gas, it's interesting to see how our bodies compare to our cars. If you would like to see how many miles per gallon your body gets, click on the link below. If you would like, post your score in the comments section of this post.

42 miles per gallon

Well I've been working on my website KatyFitness.com and it's been a challenge. I have so many things that I am working on, and writing for my blog, my website, Katy Magazine, and various other projects has been tough. I will find a balance one day though.

I am hoping to start working on a book soon. For those that know me, you know how long I have been talking about that now. It's one of those things that I know is important, but it seems like there are a lot of things that I am working on that are important. Prioritizing can be tough sometimes.

I work really well when I have requests though. If there is something you would like to see or learn more about, let me know. I'd love to see what everyone is looking for and meet that need.

This is all for now. Stay tuned and I hope to post again sooner than I have in the past.

Jason Hodge Wants to Influence Katy, TX?

My Mission Statement:
We all have a choice on the amount of impact that we have on the world. We can choose to pretend like it doesn’t matter, or we can do something about it. For the first time in the world there are more people who are overweight than starving. People are moving less and eating more, and despite the $2.2 trillion spent by the US Government on health care this year ($7,129 per person) Americans are having more health problems than ever in history. There are numerous reasons for this, and there are people out there who are desperate for help. That tells me that if they only had the right information, real information that produced results, their lives could be changed. People would live longer, be healthier, be more active, be happier, and live a more fulfilling life. I’m one man, and I definitely don’t know it all, but I care, and I feel that if I can find other people that care, that specialize in other areas of health, we could get together and at least help the people in Katy. This is about changing lives, families, and a community. It’s taking small steps to reach out to the small world that we live in, and changing it.

Have I lost my mind? I think I can make a difference in my community, and that is my sole desire right now. I want to be a positive influence and change the area I live in. I want to see lives changed for the better. At work, I want to make a lasting impact on as many people as I possibly can. I want to see people healthier and in better shape, I want them to have less aches and pains, and I want them to be able to truly experience life. God has blessed me so much with a job that allows me to reach out to people on a continuous basis, and I want to do it to the best of my ability. I'm actually getting a chance to write for Katy Magazine now and will actually have the opportunity to reach even more people than I ever have before. I wish I could change the world and really make a difference to everyone's life, but I figure starting with the people of Katy is a good start. =) What a great adventure this is going to be. If you actually take the time to read my blog, Thank You. I hope it will be worth your time.

10 Questions

What certifications do you have?
I am certified through the Cooper's Institute for Aerobic Research in personal training and indoor cycling, and through the National Academy of Sports Medicine in personal training

Do you have a degree?
Yes, I have a bachelors in Kinesiology from the University of Texas at Tyler, and I also was enrolled in the Masters program for Physical Therapy at Texas Womans' University in Houston for a short time.

Are you first aid certified?
Yes, and I update it every year.

Do you have liability insurance?
Yes, I have liability insurance.

What types of clients have you worked with before and what were their results?
I've been a personal trainer for 10 years now. I've helped people

• Lose Weight
• Tone Up
• Build Stronger Muscles
• Athletes Run Faster
• Rehabilitate Back Pain, Knee Pain, and Shoulder Pain.

Results have been good for some and non-existant for a few. I am only with someone 2 - 3 hours a week. Out of a whole week, that's not much. For those that listened and followed the advice I gave them throughout the week, results were great. For those who didn't listen, results did not happen. I will give you everything I have to help you get results, but it will be up to you to practice what I taught you to make sure it happens.

What do you specialize in?
Over the years I've done a little bit of everything, but my specialty is back pain. I've been visiting physical therapy clinics since I was in high school, and just have a passion for helping people get past the misery of dealing with a bad back. I'll be glad to share my story with you in regards to back pain if you ask. Back pain has affected my life in more ways than anyone else I have ever met, and I know the physical and emotional pain it causes.

How many times a week do I need to see you?
Everyone is different and after doing a consultation with you, I can make a suggestion on how many times a week you should meet with me.

How will my progress be monitored?
I am a computer dork. I love to monitor everything. I use the computer to track your progress, prepare your workouts (I type them all out before hand), and even predict your results weeks ahead of time. When you walk into a session I will know what you will be doing and how much you will be lifting. I can map out a workout progression plan for you for the next 365 days.

How much does it cost?
I map everything out in phases. Based on what you are wanting to achieve and where your current condition is, I can map out what types of things you need to be doing, how long it will take, and what your results will be at the end of it. Once I have determined all of this, I can tell you how much you need to invest into the program.

What is your cancellation policy?
I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you let me know that you are not able to make it within a day of your session, it gives me time to put someone else in your time slot for that day.
