The Inspire Millions Challenge

As most of you already know, we have a big epidemic that's happening in our country. An epidemic that's killing us & our children. It's making us fat, weak, lazy and sedentary. It shows no mercy and will keep doing so until we 'decide' to do something differently. It's time we so something about it!

We need to create change for the better.

We need to get healthy - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

We need to start moving the way our bodies were designed to move.

We need to start living for ourselves.

We need to educate ourselves about the dangers of the toxic, poisonous, processed, man-made foods that are wreaking havoc to our bodies.

We need to 'make the time' to incorporate exercise into our lives on a daily basis.

Simply put....

WE NEED TO STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND START TAKING ACTION TO BETTER OURSELVES!

So, what can you do about it? Here's a start....

Check out this guest blog & video that was created by my friends and colleagues, Sean Croxton, CMTA - of Underground Wellness and Brett Klika, CSCS - of Fitness Quest 10 and brettklika.com.

Sean & Brett present to you "The Inspire Millions Challenge"!

Americans are no longer chubby, portly, or overweight.

We are corpulent, obese, and rotund. We don’t move like humans are supposed to move.

We don’t eat like humans are supposed to eat. We are not just merely dying from this plight, we are suffering.

What would happen to a Cheetah if we fed it Cheetos and made it sit idle? It would get sick. It would get depressed It would develop pain. And it would die.

Why? Because Cheetos are not what Cheetahs are supposed to eat, and sitting idle is not what cheetahs are supposed to do.

As cruel as the above treatment may seem to an animal, many Americans live, embrace, and defend their “right” to this scenario. After all, there is a robust, nearly unchallenged industrial machine to support it. Unchallenged, until now.

This is a call to action.

A much higher calling than sculpting a six-pack, toning thighs, selling gym memberships or slinging miracle supplements.

It’s a call for our society to lift each other up off the couch and move.

It is a call to educate each other to eat food instead of chemicals.

It is a call to INSPIRE MILLIONS to stop suffering and live like humans are designed to live.

You don’t have to be a personal trainer, life coach, or physician to grab a loved-ones hand and say “let’s go for a walk”. How do you know if you are walking fast and far enough? When someone no longer needs to pull you off the couch to go for a walk. You don’t have to be a dietician, nutritionist, or chef to select food that is actually “food” and not merely a chemically-induced taste. How do you know what “real food” is? The ingredients list should be the food itself. For meat, well, if you know what the animal’s name was prior to being on your plate, it’s probably safe to eat.



We don’t have to be hot, ripped, toned, shredded, sculpted, or beautiful. We need men, women, and children to get off the couch, stop eating poison, and get out of pain. Everyone can contribute. Do something today, right now to change the way you live or INSPIRE someone else to do the same. It may not happen overnight, it may take time. Person by person, household by household, city by city, state by state.

Working together, we can stand up and INSPIRE MILLIONS to be happy, healthy and pain free. After all, that’s how humans are supposed to live.

The time has come to take ACTION! Let's do this!
