You CAN be fit forever!

I love what I do, because I get to wake up every day and help improve the quality of lives of people in body, mind and spirit!

That’s why I’m so excited about the newest book in my series, FIT FOREVER The Next Step. It is a uniquely designed lifestyle book that focuses on daily consistency in leading a healthy life.

This simplistic book offers three sections:

Be Well opens with 180 daily motivational studies that focus on topics of the ten chapters from the first book Fit Forever, Discovering Your 21st Century Fountain of Youth.

Eat Well shows a healthy approach to eating, including food lists, eating plans and healthy recipes offered by Whole Foods Nutritionist Sharon Stroud.

Live Well is the exercise section that gives illustrated pictures  of weight training exercises for beginners, intermediate and the advanced.

Why did I write this book?

This project is my life’s work.  Leaving a legacy of health is my way of trying to make a difference in the unhealthy world we live in.  I’ve seen the principles that make up this book transform people inside and out.  In spite of the many opportunities to speak to audiences, I’m limited to how many I can reach.  The simple fact is that books will long outlive the span of my lifetime and continue to help people for decades to come.

So many people want to see change take place, but they just don’t know how to do it.  This book gives them the proper tools and motivation to succeed on their journey.

After all, we only have one body for this journey.  Isn’t it time we started taking care of it?

Determination is the spark to greatness

“It isn’t sufficient just to want; you’ve got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.”   Franklin D. Roosevelt

A person’s determination seems to be the dominant ingredient of success… more than education, intelligence, physical attributes, or having a pleasing personality. We must display a powerful need to make a difference, which is not the same as merely making a name for ourselves.

In my early days as a semi-professional pitcher, during a game, my pitching coach came to visit me on the mound and said these words to me, “Don’t you dare pace yourself! When I call on you to do a job, I expect all you’ve got every pitch. All of you, all the time. This ain’t no dress rehearsal. You’ve got this one shot, make it count!” His 90 second kicks in the backside were not eloquent, but effective.

We must remember that we get one chance to live our lives.  Let’s make it count and make a difference in our world.

What are you determined to accomplish that will make a difference?
