I really loved writing fitness and exercise motivation! This book has allowed me to share some really valuable lessons that I learned through my fitness endeavours, from being a skinny kid with no confidence to starting weight training, to failing the basic fitness tests for the army, to earning advanced qualifications in health and fitness, to competing in a bodybuilding competition and winning a trophy, to becoming a self-published fitness author.

I have learned a lot about achieving goals through my perseverance with fitness and these lessons have given me the knowledge and confidence to believe in myself and enrich my whole life outside of the health and fitness game.

When it comes down to it, I am just a normal guy with no special genetic advantage and average intelligence at best so my train of thought has always been; “if I can do this, then just imagine what you can achieve!”. When I look back at where I have come from, it has been quite a journey and there has been one thing that has always been there to carry me across the finish line where other, perhaps even more able bodied and qualified people have given up on the same goal.

This thing that has been with me is a little thing called motivation and I believe that if you can identify your motivation, nurture and grow your motivation you will have an extremely powerful ally when it comes to achieving any of your life goals. If you work on your motivation enough, it may even make you unstoppable!

Every principal in this fitness and exercise motivation book is transferable to other goals. An example of this is actually talked about when I decided to quit my job to pursue the goal of becoming a self-published fitness author. There is now way that I would have done this if I hadn’t have learned the value and seen the results of what motivation and a bit of determination can do to help you achieve a fitness goal. This is also an example of how achieving health, fitness and weight loss gaols can have such a positive effect on other aspects of your life.

Since our fitness and exercise motivation book was released on kindle, it has since been published on paperback and audio book format. The audio book is available on Audible and has been really successful in the UK and US. It’s so great to hear from people who have read or listened to this book and I feel really lucky to have met the great people that I have done on the back of writing this book.

As most people who know me are aware, I am always looking to connect with anyone who finds these fitness books and audio books helpful. People who can use this information to change their life for the better are an inspiration to me and I welcome any contact or request for further help. To me, anyone who is willing to get out there, create a goal (fitness or otherwise) and take steps towards achieving that goal is a real winner!

The idea for the book and audio version of Fitness and exercise motivation was conceived after hearing back from readers of my other fitness guides. Although I was aware of the importance of motivation in fitness goals and had mentioned it in my other books, I soon became aware that there was a lot more to say about it. My focus has been on the beginner to fitness for a long time now as I can empathise with this situation. There is a lot of contradicting information out there today and I can see how hard it is for a beginner to fitness to cut through all the noise of diets, exercise plans and lifestyle choices to find the real no bs answers.

Taking all the noise into consideration, I designed the home workout for beginners fitness guide. It was simple, made sense, it’s exactly what I would do if I knew what I know today but had to start at the beginning and above all I know that this is extremely effective for weight loss, muscle tone and general fitness. Even though there is a small section on fitness motivation, I found that to really give this beginner routine the edge, there needed to be a lot more said about the fitness motivation and planning side.

This is where it all started and the book was written. This was actually the first book that I published on Audible and after a few hours of listening to voice actors over on Audible, I found the voice of Matt Addis. I approached him to see if he was interested in creating this audio book and he was! The audio book was created and it has been very popular on the Amazon and Audible market place ever since!
