Everything You've Learned About Exercising is Wrong (Plus a Free eLearning Presentation)

work life balance and leadership"I'd exercise if I had the time."

Ever found yourself saying that? It reigned as my number one excuse for years. That is until I met my coaching client Brian Cygan, who runs a group of Chicago area personal training studios called The Exercise Coach™.

I help organizations around the world who are struggling with how to deliver projects and lead teams. So why a post about exercise?

Whether I'm working with a multi-national organization with tens of thousand of employees or the owner of a small business, one of the most consistent challenges comes down to one factor.

Time.

My company helps people deliver projects, become more confident leaders, take focused action and achieve results. Yet much of the joy for our clients comes when they can reap these benefits while maintaining a more balanced life.

Exercise is one of the key ingredients to a balanced life. But who has the time?

Brian recently delivered a presentation that shows how his approach allows people to get significant health and fitness benefits in only two, 20-minute sessions per week. More than that, he blows away some of the bigger myths regarding exercise and weight loss.

Could it be that much of what we've learned about exercise turns out to be wrong?

I was skeptical when I first started talking to Brian about these ideas. But after a year of putting them to the test, my wife and I are now lifers! Ellington Darden's book Living Longer Stronger reinforces the principles that drive The Exercise Coach's successful approach.

Free eLearning Presentation

Thank you for the free presentation. I need to do more weight training. This helps.

Andy,
I echo your clients comments about exercise. I stepped up exercise in a big way - with some long distance running that helped me get fit and change completely the way I live and eat.

However, it was not sustainable, so I try to use the hotel gyms in my travels and try to get 20-30 minutes in 2-3 times a week..plus healthy eating..its done wonders. Feel fitter, more focused, and definitely more alert.
