The 8 Week Challenge Orientation; Naturally F.Y.T. (Find Your Transformation)

Good Morning to All,

Waking up to a rainy Colorado morning puts a bit of a damper on the daily running schedule. When I think about getting into the cold car at the break of dawn with dew on the windows to head to the gym, suddenly I am wanting to hit the snooze button. Anyone else have this same experience?

I created the 8 week challenge to build my muscular strength without having to step in the large gyms or new box gyms. I wanted to be able to go to a park with friends or just casually complete my workout in my living room. Setting aside specific time for exercise is a key component of reaching your fitness goals but lets get real; if you have kids, a busy career, husband or wife, and life in general doesn't always work this way! This special workout time doesn't always look like your single friends that are taking "selfies" while flexing at the gym for hours on end ;)

 I have designed an 8 week program that will give you results if you stay strong and committed to it!
Please take this, use it, ask questions about it and become stronger, leaner and healthier each and every day!
