info_outlineMeet Edwin Richardson, a certified personal trainer, entrepreneur, and inventor of the "Back Buddy," a unique shower back scrubber and massage pad that allows you to easily exfoliate and massage your back while you shower. Edwin's fitness journey began at age 50 when he faced significant back pain, fatigue, and excess weight. With the guidance of his nephew, a bodybuilder, Edwin adopted a disciplined diet and workout regime, ultimately losing 50 pounds, eliminating his back pain, and building a muscular physique. His transformation inspired him to start Jan Jo Fitness LLC, where he now helps others achieve fitness and health goals through structured nutrition and exercise.
Growing up in a physically active era, Edwin remained fit until career demands and poor eating habits led to weight gain. At 50, his declining health pushed him to seek change, leading him to a gym where he found a personal trainer who guided him through rigorous cardio and strength training. Through consistency, he shed the extra pounds and eliminated his back pain by strengthening his core and back.Now, a leading personal trainer in New York, Edwin works with clients of all ages, and emphasizes a holistic approach to fitness, focusing on five pillars: upper body, lower body, core, balance, and conditioning. Edwin also advocates boxing as a tool for fitness and self-defense, sharing how it helped him during a street altercation.
Edwin also discussed his invention, the Back Buddy, which helps people exfoliate and massage their backs in the shower. Available on Amazon and his website, it has received positive reviews and serves as a practical solution for those needing back care.To anyone over 50 who thinks it’s too late to pursue fitness goals, Edwin encourages them that it's never too late, noting that consistent effort can yield remarkable changes at any age. He highlights the importance of four health pillars: sleep, diet, exercise, and stress reduction, urging listeners to start small with exercise and build up over time for long-term health and wellness.
