Create Health and Wellness from Within

And even those who work out regularly can get stuck on a fitness plateau, far short of the results they seek. Go to the gym seven days a week like Fitness Behavior Expert Dan Nguyen (pronounced WIN), and you will see people doing the same exercises over and over who are just maintaining their level of fitness or even losing ground. Why is it people can work out and diet religiously and still get stuck? "It has to do with the visualization – people go to the gym and they go through their routine with no focus, no intention behind it," Dan says.Dan is an authority on the mind-muscle connection. At age 40, he has stayed in the top levels of fitness (and the single digits in body fat) for 20 years using this approach.
