Is Fitness a RIGHT? Or is it a priviledge?

I caught up with David Amerland author, engineer, and brand ambassador of the global non-profit — DAREBEE - who is working hard to democratize the tools needed for everyday people to pursue their true selves through exercise and nutrition practice.

We answered many questions in this episode like:

How to remove your barriers to exercising more regularly.

The difference between PROGRAMS and COACHING

AND - how to access the best in yourself on your fitness journey.

It was an amazing conversation with so much value — I’ll have him on again to talk more soon!

Given the things going on around us that we can't control, I think it's appropriate to double-down on the things we can.

Thus I will host here in the inner circle the #Faithful40 Challenge. Its free - just a powerful community exercise for those who want to participate.

40 days of faithful discipline to our health, fitness, and wellbeing. Here's how to participate:

EVERY MORNING FROM 3/23--5/2 ITAG YOU IN A THREAD HERE LABELED #FAITHFUL40 AND YOU WILL COMMENT:

1.    Your workout plan for that day

2.    Yesterday's food journal

3.    Your mindset for the day

If you want to participate - select "count me in" and I'll tag you in the daily post!

Also- tag someone who you'd challenge to join you in this!

(if they're not in the inner circle, invite them, I'll approve them!)

My commitment to you: I will participate just like you AND I will comment on your efforts with positivity -- unless you specifically ASK for constructive criticism, YOU will be your own judge.

Reward: Coming out of this Coronavirus thing in better health and fitness than you went into it! Who's IN? #Faithful40
