John opens up about his personal journey of overcoming health issues, family doubts and challenging life circumstances. Listen to how John shares the need for accepting where you are, seeking help and support, and making small, sustainable changes that you celebrate along the way.

You will hear the honest doubts, struggles and victories of a guy that has changed his health and future without living in the extremes!

Ever heard of 75Hard? It's a very popular health challenge that requires 75 straight days without missing a workout, nutrition targets plus other things in order to not "fail" the challenge.

I argue that challenges like this are not necessary for sustainable results. In fact, I believe that they are often detrimental to long term goals even if you "pass" them!

In short, Sustainable actions lead to sustainable results. Lowering the threshold and focusing on simple habits can be more effective than extreme challenges.

By the way...I have a free 28 day challenge called DadShred that's all about simple, sustainable habits that is open until June 28th. Check it out here: https://www.holyfitcoaching.com/dadshred
