As much as Dan decided to be accountable for his results, having a great coach makes the journey much easier. Just as professional athletes also have coaches to guide them, don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Committing to any kind of change—especially fitness—comes with its fair share of struggles and obstacles. But you know what makes it easier? Having a partner in your corner, holding you accountable, cheering you on, and occasionally reminding you that skipping workouts isn’t a love language.
Sign your kids up for group sports like soccer, swimming, or tennis—because let’s face it, they have way more energy than your furniture can handle! Celebrate their efforts with high-fives, cheers, and maybe even a victory dance (embarrassing parent moves encouraged). Fitness isn’t just for grown-ups—it’s a lifelong gift we can give our kids from the start
Staying active not only keeps those non-communicable diseases at bay, but it also helps me manage stress – it’s my go-to vent, if you catch my drift. Exercise is like a magic potion: it boosts mental health, skyrockets confidence, amps up self-esteem, and even spices up your love life (hello, testosterone!). Plus, it blesses you with better sleep, healthier eating habits, and a level of discipline that would make you proud of yourself. So, give it a shot.
