Before: Sports nutrition and Anti Aging were multi billion dollar industries
The combination of diet/exercise was medically recognized as beneficial for preventing disease
Minority health disparities was a phrase
Bruce Lee was recognized as an innovator in sports conditioning
The Energy Drinks market existed
Donald Spiderman Thomas was breaking Guinness World records in public speaking on these very topics and more.
New Jump Swing Healthy Aging and Athletic Nutrition program is the revised and updated version of Thomas’ Guinness After Dinner speech listed along with his photograph in the 1989 edition of the Guinness Book.
New Jump Swing is a health and fitness program inspired by the nutritional recommendations and philosophy of the late martial arts master and film icon Bruce Lee. This book represents over thirty years of research by the author in the areas of physical rehabilitation, sports nutrition and ethnic health disparities.
Despite having a knee disease (Osgood-Schlatter) and subsequent knee surgery on both knees, as the former celebrity chairperson for the American Heart Association-Hawaii Chapter, Jump Rope for Heart campaign, Thomas has demonstrated and taught his fitness program to more than 60% of the school system within the state of Hawaii as well as many of its premiere fitness clubs.
