My personal and professional experience as a certified personal trainer has convinced me that becoming fit, and sustaining fitness, is more behavioral than physical.
How can this be?
We are constantly exposed to nutritional and exercise commercials promising great changes.
The fact is, obesity is still on the rise in America and spreading to our children, despite the use of magical nutritional programs, exercise videos, miracle pills, and supplements. The answer lies within people’s behaviors. I found this to be true in my consulting career with large businesses, and now I find the same patterns in my personal training clients.

Nearly everything that is associated with fitness is focused on the physical aspect of fitness development. Media focuses on exercise machines and exercise videos, as well as, nutritional programs that provide for every possible need.
Now, some of you reading this that have been successful with a weight loss program may ask the question: So, why did I make it through the program while others did not? They answer lies in mental attitude.
Believe me motivation comes in many forms, but rarely is it physical, e.g. I need to be healthier. It is nearly always attributed to a psychological need.
