Ready, Set, Achieve!: A Guide to Taking Charge of Your Life, Creating Balance, and Achieving Your Goals

This book will explore some of the main problems of existing in a technologically advanced world that is built for ease and efficiency while our bodies are built for stamina and endurance. The book will further examine how this can negatively impact a person’s livelihood as well as work performance. It will then delve into the important reasons for change in one’s eating and exercising habits and will provide tips and suggestions on how to embrace this change and to be successful within a fast-paced environment. This book is not the typical “90-day” or “quick and easy” approach to fat loss. Instead, the focus will be centered on longevity and consistency for one’s personal fitness lifestyle.
