Welcome to this special section of the newly revamped miczak.com! As you may know, I am a health & fitness author and syndicated columnist for The Asbury Park Press and Greater Media Newspapers. Here I have the opportunity to share reviews from my published newspaper articles of many new items I have personally tested.

What will be covered? I will discuss products and equipment related to health, nutrition, beauty and exercise, specifically skating and dance. I've included an extensive chapter on Skating for Fitness in my upcoming book, The New Woman's Herbal & Nutritional Guide- Lotus Press Publishing which is scheduled for a 2004 release. I also will be teaching Inline Figure Skating for Fitness through Monmouth County Park System, Colts Neck, NJ October 25 th 2003 and again in the spring on May 22nd 2004.
