Challenges and opportunities. We all face them, in every day of
our lives. They present themselves in so many ways. They can be
challenges we face at work, at home, of a personal nature or with
our health. As you are reading this, you are probably thinking about
the challenge you faced today yourself. Take a moment to ask yourself,
“did I respond well to it”. It is very easy to see the
challenges that we face as being “too challenging”, to
respond in a negative way, or worse still, to respond with inaction
and ignorance and simply pretend that the problems in our lives
do not exist. It is much healthier and far more rewarding to see
these challenges as opportunities. To realize that the response
to every challenge is an opportunity for growth and development
along the pathway of life.

| One
such person who did this and more is my good friend, mentor
and incredibly inspirational great guy Lynn Lingenfelter. Lynn
is one of the first EAS body for life Champions and is the author
of Thrive High. This book is a look into a soul lost and reclaimed
through Lynn’s faith in our Lord and in himself. Your life
won't be the same as you begin this read, and your lifestyle
could change when you're done. Be prepared, if that's possible,
to look "gut truth" in the eye when you read it. Ladies,
keep the kleenex close by. Truly this book is an INSPIRATION!!

who wants to invite an Australian champion over for dinner. Thanks

cook this one myself.

1997
Body-for-LIFE Champion Porter Freeman describes the story
of his transformation from overweight couch potato to an energetic
and strong man who rebuilt his body and his life and now inspires
thousands of people to do the same.
As
Porter puts it, “My transformation experience—and
the months and years that have passed since then—taught
me a lesson that I now try to teach to anyone and everyone
who will listen: Any person my age or older can get out of
the rut. Decide to do it; then follow through on it”.
|
|
 |
Follow
thru Porter did. This amazing man who is now the Director
of the body for life challenge not only changed his mind
and his life, his story is probably responsible for the
changes of perhaps 500,000 people in the world since his
story graced the screen in the inspirational movie Body
of Work. This beautiful man was and continues to be a
driving force in my own life and the lives of many I know.
THANK YOU Porter for your gift of love, honesty, and determination
to live an amazing life and to share with us all your
wonderful insights on staying on track. You can buy this
motivating book on www.bodyforlife.com
I believe that this book, along with Bill’s Body
of Work and the DVD will be the catalyst for your own
mind/body transformation as it was for me. |

fully equipped private studio set in Cromer on Sydney's Northern
Beaches just 40 mins from CBD. Desire Studio offers a salt water
pool, spa, cedar lined sauna, and outdoor shower amongst a beautiful
outdoor setting. |

Challenge
yourself to the real outdoors with bush trekking or mountain
biking. How about a beach run at Curl Curl, or a walk through
Warriewood Wetlands that ends at a breathtaking waterfall.
Perhaps a session inside the studio on the cross trainer or
water rower is more to your liking. Whatever the goal is,
DESIRE will help you to reach those goals.
