His goal is to reach out to as many people as he can to help them achieve productive longevity.When asked by host Lisa Davis about what you should look for when hiring a personal trainer, this is what Eraldo had to say:"If I had to make a recommendation to someone who is looking for a trainer, the most perfect example that I can give you is going to a doctor. Obviously, you want to go to a doctor that is the most qualified, that has the experience and has gone through good schools. Because bottom line, you are placing your health in their hands. And that's how I look at when you hire a personal trainer. It is important that they have the education and have the experience to be able to effectively teach someone how to go to the gym, how to effectively use the equipment, how to be careful if you have injuries and the nutrition side of it."

An inspirational speaker, author, and former Wall Street rainmaker, Jim Owen was 70 when he decided he had to get fit. Now, he's helping others do the same.An inspirational speaker, author, and former Wall Street rainmaker, Jim Owen was 70 when he decided he had to get fit. Years of a chair-bound lifestyle were taking their toll. Realizing that the old bodybuilding approach was no way to tackle the stiffness, weakness, and aches and pains that come with age, he set off on a journey of discovery and transformation. With help from the experts, he developed a common-sense, step-by-step program that can be tailored to any level of physical ability. Along the way, he learned why cardio machines aren't enough, what it takes to be "functionally fit" for daily life, and how to stay motivated. Today, Owen is in better shape than he was at 25, and he is a passionate evangelist for fitness as a way of life. He has proved that you don't have to be powerless in the face of advancing years: if you make a commitment to "just move," you can take charge of the aging process and make your coming years the best they can be.Listen as Owen joins host Lisa Davis to share more about the Just Move! program and his book, Just Move!

Drew Manning expected physical challenges in his "fit-to-fat-to-fit" experiment. What he wasn't prepared for were the mental and emotional struggles he faced.When Drew Manning gained 75 pounds (then lost them) on purpose to better understand the challenges his clients go through, he fully expected the physical effects that accompany weight gain. What he didn't anticipate were the emotional and mental aspects. As the pounds piled on, Drew suffered from low self-esteem and low self-confidence. He wanted to explain to strangers that this was just an experiment; that in actuality he was a very fit, healthy person. Ultimately, Drew started to lose his identity.But, it became a valuable lesson. "As a trainer, or someone in the fitness industry, you could give someone the best meal plans, the best workouts, the best trainer. You could provide them all the physical tools they need to be successful when it comes to being healthy," explains Drew. "But none of that matters if that person doesn’t understand how to overcome their mental and emotional challenges. It will just be another diet that they do for a little while; they lose weight but then they gain it back. The key to making it a true lifestyle change is on the mental and emotional side, and that is what I preach now."Listen as Drew joins host Lisa Davis to discuss the emotional and mental side of physical transformation, as well as what he learned from his "fit-to-fat-to-fit" experiment.Buy on AmazonFit2Fat2Fit: The Unexpected Lessons from Gaining and Losing 75 lbs on Purpose
