Find Your Path: Mind, Body & Soul

I want to be healthy and fit 52 weeks of the year, but that doesn't mean I have to be perfect every day. This philosophy is a year-round common-sense approach to health and fitness that involves doing your best most of the time-and by that I don't mean being naughty for three days and good for four. I mean doing your absolute best most of the time during every week, 52 weeks of the year.

I believe that fitness is a lifelong journey. I wasn't born with the toned arms and strong legs. Like all of us, I have to work hard every day to look the way that I feel best! In FIND YOUR WAY I share my secrets with readers, with the ultimate goal of being the strongest version of themselves, and looking as good as they feel. My book will share secrets for fitting diet and exercise into a packed routine. Based on my own active lifestyle, diet, and workouts, FIND YOUR WAY is packed with meal plans, recipes, weekly workout programs, and guidelines for keeping a weekly food and workout journal. It also introduces readers to my signature weekly workout, which involves exercises that can be done at home-and it sets my readers on a path to sustainable health and fitness for life. Fitness begins with embracing the "Pleasure Principle" in eating, making healthy swaps in your favorite recipes, and embracing a long view approach to health-so that a cheat a day won't derail you.

Throughout the book, I share my personal journey towards optimal health, from my passion for sports as a kid, to the pressure to look perfect and fit as a teenage high school student, to eventually discovering the importance of balance and the meaning of true health. For me, being fit isn't about crash diets or a workout routine that you're going to dread. It's about healthy choices and simple meals that you can put together from the ingredients in your local grocery store, and making the time, every day, to move, to love your body, and to be the best version of yourself.
