How does one go from a dislike of swimming and running, chronic back pain, knee pain, hamstring strains and digestive issues to a quintuple Ironman?

Today we introduce guest, Dan Duran, VP of PTA Global (Personal Training Academy Global), as living proof of not only the lifestyle transformation possibility, but also pearls on athletics balanced with a sustainable busy corporate travel lifestyle.

Listen to the podcast episode here or on iTunes.

Dan shares 4 of his key discoveries (through working with his Personal Trainer, Rodney Corn) that created the transformation into a fitness role model and athlete with longevity:

1. Stress is both mental and physical. In physical activity, "more is better," needs to be balanced with recovery science in order to find health and fitness.
2. Functional training along the myofascial lines, particularly when it comes to self myofascial release and weight lifting program design, is a key in decreasing joint injuries and repetitive strains.
3. Goal setting is not only for career progress, but also for progress in health, quality of time, longevity, ability to play, and how we can serve as healthy role models for our kids.
4. Anything is possible if you set a goal, set a plan rooted in science, and listen to the team you build to support you.

Thank you Dan, for making time to share this transformation and so many attainable strategies for for busy people seeking health, a chance to be in their best shape of their lives year after year, and become healthy role models.

In Dan's words: "Set a goal. Create a plan. Ask for help and accept it."
