 Ben Leber

 Being physically active has always been a  major part of my life and while growing up  I participated  in a number of sports in  each season. This interest in physical  activity, proper nutrition and a  healthy  lifestyle continued to develop in  university. During my MSc in Kinesiology  at Brock    University I became very  interested in the use of exercise for risk  reduction and disease prevention  to  improve the lives of people. After  university I completed the requirements  to become a  Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist.

 My career goal is to improve the lives of people by both promoting a healthy lifestyle for disease  prevention as well as improving the health and fitness of people who have known disease or disability. I believe in the science of exercise, using science to create and implement individualized exercise programs while respecting the individual's goals and limitations aiming for improved health with reduced risk for exercise related injuries. And in general, I want to show people how to enjoy exercise and how to make it part of their everyday life.

My favourite quote is “If exercise was discovered today, it would be considered a miracle drug”. I truly believe that exercise and being active is essential in preventing disease and essential in improving the quality of life for everyone.
