Description

Do you want to look better?  Feel better?  Live better?  Then get healthy and fit. 

This course cuts through the hype, giving you what you need - the fundamentals of health and fitness - to finally get and stay healthy and fit.

It's simple really.  All you need to do is change a few key habits.  Change your habits, change you life!

We are all creatures of habit.  Habits dominate our lives.  With the right habits you go farther faster.  With the wrong habits you just hurt yourself. 

Life is stacked in your favor, in my favor, in our favor.  You can make any change you want.  Just decide and act.  You even have a built-in automatic pilot; an auto-pilot to keep you lean and strong, energetic and vibrant.  In this course you learn to properly engage that auto-pilot by developing the right habits of mind, the right nutrition habits, and the right play habits.

You have everything you need; you are meant to be healthy and fit. This course shows you how use the tools you are already using - your habits - to move in a new direction. I'm with you every step of the way.  Step by step, habit by habit change your life.  You can!  I know you can!!!

The course material is organized into eight (8) sections. Each section has three (3) video segments, one each devoted to Mindset, Nutrition and Play - those key habits areas ensuring health and fitness.  Among the various attachments is a .PDF copy of "High Performance Health and Fitness Habits" to reinforce the key points.

We are all creatures of habit for better or for worse. To actually progress and begin changing direction you must be willing to examine your life, and more specifically your habits - habits of mind, eating habits and activity or play habits.

"Health and Fitness, the Fundamentals" - based on "High Performance Health and Fitness Habits" - is repetitious by design. We create habit routines by repetition. Habits make us who we are. If you want to really change your life, change yourself.  Adopt and nurture new habits.

Take this course is you are serious about making a fundamental change in your life; if you are serious about becoming healthy and fit - if you want to look better, feel better and live better.  With the right habits health and fitness are automatic.  I'm excited to have you here.  And I'm excited to go on a journey of change with you!  Let's get started now!


Who this course is for:
  • Take this course if you want to look better, feel better and live better. Now is the time to make a change.
  • Take this course if you want to become healthy and fit.
  • Don't take this course if you are not ready to determine which of your habits are holding you back.
  • Don't take this course if you are not willing to adopt new high performance habits to ensure your health and fitness.
