Not a medical professional
I started Fitness Marble because of my grandparents, to help older adults stay independent, confident and strong in their own homes. My background is in quality assurance and project management. I am not a doctor, physiotherapist or dietitian, and nothing here is medical advice.

Growing up, my grandparents instilled in me my core values and a deep sense of responsibility as the eldest son. As they grew older, their care shaped what I want this site to do.
My career has been in quality assurance and project management. That means I check details and follow a strict process, and that is how I work here. My job is to read public guidance from trusted sources such as the CDC, the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health, and turn it into simple, practical routines you can actually follow.
Every article lists its sources at the bottom so you can check them yourself. You can read how articles are researched and checked on our Editorial Policy page.
I write under the pen name Arthur Sterling to protect my privacy, but I remain fully accountable for what is published here. If you spot a mistake, email me at contact@fitnessmarble.com and I will correct it promptly.
Please talk to your own doctor before starting any new exercise programme, especially if you have a health condition or take medication.
