The Fit Over 40 Challenge book is finally here!
After over a year of ups and downs and struggles to get the book done it is finally up on Kindle. I thought I would just take a moment and write out a quick post on why I wrote the book and who the book is intended for.
Some of you know my story and have been following me for some time. For those of you that are reading this for the first time and don’t know much about me and the mission I am on then I will share with you briefly right here.
2016 marked the 10 year anniversary that my father passed away from a major heart attack. You see for most of my life I was concerned about my dad’s health. He was a smoker, diabetic, and not someone who put an emphasis on exercise. Eventually, that took its toll and at the young age of 67 he passed away.
Now having gone to school and studied exercise science I always felt somewhat responsible for not being able to help my dad get fit. It tool me some time after his passing to finally realize that it was not my fault and it falls on each individuals own responsibility for their well being.
The other thing that bothered me and still pains me when I think about it is my dad never got to meet my two daughters. I want to tear up right now just writing this.
So with all that said back to why I wrote this book. You see, if I can reach one person and get them to take responsibility and change their habits, which could changed their life I will have accomplished my goal. I wrote this book to one honor my father but also to make a “dent” in this world (reference to Steve Jobs).
The book, ” Fit Over 40 Challenge” is nothing revolutionary but after spending 20 years in the fitness industry as a coach and trainer I lay out my simple plan and strategies to getting fit at the age of 4o and beyond.
Oh, and why 40 you might ask? Well, two reasons. One, when I hit age 40 I wasn’t in the best shape of my life. I had become complacent and unmotivated. I write in the book how I got motivated to change and become in the best shape of my life at my age of 43 (age at time of writing this post).
The second reason of focusing on being fit over 40 is because most of the clients I have worked fell it that age range and over the years I saw the results they were getting and how much the quality of their life improved after getting results with me.
So is this book for me?
The book “Fit Over 40 Challenge” is not for everyone. I also write about that in the book. However, the strategies and principles I present can be applied to just about anyone who is looking to get fit and change their lifestyle once and for all.
Also, the book does offer a simple 6 week plan to get started if you are new or haven’t worked out in awhile.
