200 Fitness is Broken - Create Your Longterm Pathway to Success


Listen Later

Fitness. Is. Broken.

Way to start off the new year on a high note, right?

It's true, though, and most of us are acutely aware. We are frustrated, challenged, and confused with how best to pursue fitness, performance, and a platform of health.

You can ignore the fitness nuts and health gurus - you know the ones – that post the promoted wonderful life that they capture while failing to actually live it? Yeah, those folks.

Today's episode will set you up with a solid pathway to success and rewrite the script on how to improve with no quick fixes, voodoo supplements, or fad diets.

Matt discusses:

  • What is wrong with the health and fitness market?

  • Why the evangelism and short-term strategies of the fitness industries are actually making us more unhealthy

  • What you need and want, perhaps without realizing, in your journey to health, energy, and improvement

  • The KEY components of what every successful performance/fitness and health program needs for success.

When you understand and employ the key components of a successful performer, you won’t create a quick fix and you likely won’t be in a "before and after" picture for 6 -week abs.

But you WILL have:

  • A much better chance of enjoying yourself with a commitment to life

  • A sense of logic, control, understanding around your performance journey

  • More predictable and stable energy

Most importantly, you will stick with it and you will thrive.
