\u00a0 How far are you going to let yourself go? \u00a0 The farther you go away from optimal health, the harder it will be to come back. \u00a0 Why take that chance? \u00a0 I say that the promised land of health and fitness can be found by a simple click of your mouse. \u00a0 You know already that I have spent 15 years of my life developing, refining and improving a health and fitness website that can get you healthy and keep you healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Before you have a tragic or life altering health episode, why not start today by changing your health and changing your life. \u00a0 It could be as simple as clicking <a title=\"Howtobefit.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.howtobefit.com\/\">here<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>True story. \u00a0 I was a personal trainer for years in NJ and I would like to tell you about one of my most memorable clients. \u00a0 His name was John (no, that wasn&#8217;t his real name) and he was an obese chain smoker before I met him. \u00a0 He was so addicted to food, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[380],"class_list":{"0":"post-848","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-uncategorized-posts","7":"tag-life-changing-moment","8":"czr-hentry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Are You Still Waiting for a Life Changing Moment?
