Summary
Today, I'm honored to be here with the wonderful Bob Harper, long-time host of The Biggest Loser, heart attack survivor and celebrity trainer, whose clients include the likes of Ben Stiller, Selma Blair and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Bob is kind, compassionate and hilarious, and he'll be the first to tell you today why reality TV show workouts aren't exactly what they seem.
And as it turns out, not only is Bob a yoga instructor, snowboarder, and tennis enthusiast, he’s also quite a talented street and portrait photographer. And we'll be talking about why finding your creative outlet is worth it, even if it looks a little bit different for each one of us.
I hope you dig it. We're chatting about…
- How Bob survived his widow-maker heart attack and cardiac arrest
- Recalibrating your goals after injury or a major life event
- Why reality TV show workouts aren't what they seem
- The many forgotten benefits of walking
- Why we all need at least one creative outlet
- Enjoying life while staying on track
- And tons more...
