Don Cestone has been involved in health, fitness and bodybuilding for more than four decades. He discovered bodybuilding as a young boy… a connection that would prove to be the single biggest and most important pivot point of his life.
In his twenties Don launched one of the first one-on-one personal training businesses in Los Angeles. His vast training knowledge and highly motivating personality helped him quickly rise to prominence and he was soon counting Fortune 500 executives and top business people among his clientele. As his reputation spread, his services were in great demand among many Hollywood movie elite, eventually earning him the accolade Trainer to the Stars.
As an adjunct to his personal training business, Don became a co-partner in a highly successful exercise equipment company that specialized in custom fabricated exercise equipment. The company was located directly across the street from the world famous Vince's Gym on Ventura Boulevard in North Hollywood. Don shared a long and personal friendship with the gym's owner Vince Gironda.
Don's next goal was to offer his unique training and nutritional knowledge to the world and so in the early 1990's, he formed Don Cestone Fitness Enterprises. He authored and produced several training manuals as well as an audiotape series called A New Tone With Cestone. These manuals and tapes were a distillation of Don's training, nutritional, and motivation principles.
He went on to develop his own line of nutritional products as well, including: Quick-E Protein Bar, Big Shot Bar, Instant Fat Burning Bar and Powder, Carb Blocker and men and women's natural shaving products. He marketed all of his products throughout the USA as well as in many countries throughout the world.
His prominence in health and fitness also led to Don's appearing on many fitness TV shows as well as appearances and write ups in numerous fitness magazines and newspapers.
Recently, he began sharing his many years of bodybuilding stories and his vast experiences in southern California on various Internet forums. His postings - particularly his "unknown stories of Arnold Schwarzenegger" - have quickly become the most popular threads on these sites.
It is this popularity, as well as the insatiable desire for more from readers, that has prompted Don to author this series of e-books titled: IN ARNOLD'S FOOTSTEPS. He has a knack for relating his many stories in a folksy and fun way that makes the reader feel like he is right there looking over Don's shoulder. You will thoroughly enjoy and treasure these books as they capture a rare and invaluable part of bodybuilding history.
