Do you ever wonder who the top health experts take advice from? Or who their personal trainers are?
Meet Donovan Green.
A top fitness expert, he’s also an entrepreneur who seeks to help
people of all ages and backgrounds truly change their relationship with
health and fitness.
Donovan and I discussed some
of his solutions for the biggest struggles we all face in our attempt
to live healthfully. He told me that exercising isn’t just about big
muscles and toned abs — it’s about giving your body the chance to be the
healthiest it can be.
Here are four of his biggest tips to be your healthiest, happiest self:
1. Stop succumbing to your excuses. The
most common excuse Donovan hears for not working out is “I don’t have
time.” Do you have time to be sick? Do you want to live a less
energetic, shorter life? Probably not.
2. Have fun.
Donovan just wants everyone to move. It might be walking, jogging,
lifting, dancing, hiking, or bicycling. But whatever makes you feel good, do that.
3. Don’t compare.
Everyone is his or her own person. What works for person A in terms of
working out and diet won’t work the same way for person B or C. Do some
exploring. When you find the right balance, you’ll know.
4. Fake it ‘til you make it. This
doesn’t mean become a phony. We all have a tendency to get down about
whatever we feel insecure about. Change your attitude. Being more
positive will make it that much easier to achieve success.
