This guide is brought to you by the folks at Men's Health magazine, who are very! enthusiastic! about Todd Durkin, founder of Fitness Quest 10 in sunny San Diego! And trainer of football players you've heard of (Drew Brees credits Durkin with helping him win Super Bowl XLIV)!
Whew! Think I need to sit down now.
