Summary

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with James, the winner of our 8-Week New Year's Challenge, along with coach Jamie to break down exactly how he pulled it off. James dropped over 20 pounds, took his resting heart rate from 92 to 49, and cut his cholesterol nearly in half — all while working long shifts in food service and raising three kids in the UK. He opens up about the moment that kicked all of this off: giving CPR to his stepdad in his own home, and the promise he made to himself that day. Jamie and I get into how we built the plan around his chaotic schedule, and how James' journey has now pulled his chef, his sister, and his own dad into taking their health seriously too.
