I’ve probably heard just as many excuses as there are stars in the sky, but really it comes down to motivation. So, why do so many of us resist actually starting? Or, for those of us who do begin eating better and exercising more, why do we find it so easy to fall back into our old ways? We all know we have to eat better and that we have to exercise more each day. Then I did another 12 weeks, and another, and now it’s just the way I live. At 280 pounds, those first 12 weeks were difficult, but I made tremendous progress. This is not simply a 12-week transformation program. When you begin the UFC FIT program, realize that this is a lifestyle. I had sleep apnea and had developed heart palpitations because of the excessive weight I carried at 280 pounds (see the photo below). Although I looked great on the outside, my doctor confirmed that my blood pressure was elevated, and my cholesterol was high. For much of it, I was focused only on sports performance. I was a competitive athlete for almost my entire life. But, I’m sure you’re wondering how that qualifies me to present the UFC FIT program. If you follow the UFC, you may have seen me as a competitor on The Ultimate Fighter season seven or with some of the top athletes in the sport - Thiago Alves, Michael Bisping, Johny Hendricks and Gray Maynard.
