0:07.9	This is obvious, of course, if you don't stick with a program, the program is not going to succeed.
0:13.7	But the more important question is, is why do people fail to comply with programs? My guest today has been in the health and fitness
0:26.9	industry for more than 20 years, and he's looked at what makes some people successful and other
