About the Author:
KENT BURDEN
Biographical
Information
Kent Burden found his way to the world of fitness and wellness
after a devastating college football injury left him a paraplegic for nine
months. He was born and raised in Battle Creek, Michigan. In high school he
lettered in four sports-- football, basketball, track and baseball, and was
voted all-conference in football.
He attended
Saginaw Valley State University and Western Michigan University where he
majored in Physical Education and Theater. He played two years of college
football as a wide receiver until the gridiron accident ended his football
career. After being paralyzed from the chest down for nine months, surgery
restored his ability to walk. He spent years rehabilitating from the injury,
and tried many exercise modalities. During his lengthy recovery, he found Hatha
Yoga and the mat work of Joseph Pilates to be the simplest and most beneficial
restorative exercises. Meditation and visualization increased his focus,
balanced out the intense physical activity, and enabled him to believe a
complete recovery was possible. He has been practicing yoga for more than
twenty-five years and teaching yoga and Pilates for ten years.
Kent’s
specialty is combining conventional fitness with mind/body modalities, which
led him to create “Kent Burden’s Essential Triangle,” a union of yoga, Pilates
and meditation. With meditation as a bridge between the more physical
exercises, this powerful, balanced combination of three modalities provides
fitness for the mind, body and spirit in dynamic, multi-length formats. The
program is available on video and DVD. “Kent Burden’s Weighted Power Ball
Workout” was released in 2004.
Kent has
more than thirty years of fitness experience.
He is certified as a master wellness coach, personal trainer, and as a
Pilates instructor, Yoga instructor, Spinning instructor, Water Fitness
instructor, Systematic Touch Trainer and Massage Therapist. As the former Mind/Body
Program Director at California’s famed Ojai Valley Inn & Spa from he
created and taught more than 15-20 fitness classes per week, and worked
one-on-one with celebrity guests, including Oscar, Emmy and Grammy winners and
other celebrities and athletes.
Kent created the mind/body fitness program, which was voted by Spa Finder
Magazine’s Reader’s Choice Awards as one of North America’s top mind/body
programs out of a field of more than 500 spas. His program was considered to be
one of the most innovative and diverse in the industry. He was selected by SHAPE
magazine as one of six premier trainers for 2003 and was Shape’s fitness expert
appearing annually at the Shape/Men’s Fitness Mind/Body Cruise. His signature
workout, the Essential Triangle was featured in Healing Retreats and Spas
in May 2005. In 2006 he was selected as one of 9 featured trainers for the
revolutionary down-loadable workout system Pro-Active Health Solutions. He holds
a Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Health Science.
His work has
been featured in SHAPE, Natural Health, Fitness, Self,
Body & Soul, Spa Finder, American Spa, Fitness
Cycling, Golf Digest for Women, New Age Journal and Pain
Solutions magazines, and on television programs such as Access Hollywood,
Life and Times (BBC) and Spa Finder Television. He is also the
author of the bestselling book, Is Your
Chair Killing You?, “Exercise Sucks! How to Lose Weight without Really
Trying,” and the multi-book series “Workout at Work.” In July 2013 his online
authority magazine “My Life Fitness” launched. He is currently at work on a new
book titled “The Modern Day Hunter Gatherer.”
