386. The Wake-Up Call - His Fitness Saved His Life (And other incredible stories!)

Self Care Simplified

As a coach and trainer, it’s easy to get so focused on building muscle, tackling body fat and teaching healthy habits that I lose sight of the bigger picture. Until something comes along and puts it all into perspective.

Recently I received a text from a client that acted as that wake-up call. It reminded me that, yes, improving our fitness and nutrition is important, but creating lasting habits has a far greater impact than we realize.

This week I’ll tell you a story about Jim, a doctor in his 60s whom I have coached for 14 years. Jim’s commitment to building healthy habits was never more important than when he suffered a massive heart attack. Suddenly those habits may have been the difference between life and death.

And while it might sound dramatic, I hear similar stories all the time - how a client’s commitment to improved fitness helped prevent a major injury or ailment that could have proved devastating.

I want these stories and this episode to be encouraging for you, but also motivating. I know how fleeting motivation for exercising and eating healthy can be. But this is probably exactly what you need to hear today.
