We live in a society of instant gratification, and so many people assume that there is a wonder pill out there to help us achieve health, fitness, and wellness. We are also surrounded by countless fad diets and fitness programs, and we can be overwhelmed by the choices. The first step, however, begins with belief. A Path to a Fit and Healthy Life for Beginners is designed to help you become the owner of your fitness and health. Author, fitness trainer, and retired US Army veteran James L. Blake Jr. explains the importance of being healthy throughout our life on this earth. He reminds us that we can't just wait for something bad to happen to motivate us into taking the first steps-we have to take that same attitude now, in the present, before we face the worst, and apply it to our health, fitness, and wellness. It's too easy for us to get caught up society, which is driven by our everyday lives-and then before we know it, it's too late. Wake up to the reality, both for yourself and for your children. As James says, "Personal courage is something that is infused, not given."
