Vinny J Molino

Vinny specializes in sports nutrition, military fitness, senior fitness, and competition training. He has over 33 years of experience. Never accept the “status quo” there's always a better way! He has applied this principle through his entire Naval Aviation career and thought his life. He has always felt that no matter how successful he was at anything there had to be a better way of doing it and was never satisfied with the “status quo”. There are always ways we can improve. The same implies a healthy lifestyle and fitness goals. With so many internet workout “experts” fad diets and workout programs available to everyone online, it is easy to get lost and fall off the fitness track. When all else fail to go back to the basics and that's NO BULL!
