The wake up call for me in starting this journey was when I was initially given a personal assessment called the 9 environments of you in which you grade yourself in several different areas of life. Health spiritual connections your physical space of your home car office your relationship around finances etc. I did not score well on the body environment which was pointed out to me by several key people that if I wanted to play life at a higher level make more money be happier I would have to get my health and fitness level up in order to play at their level. I took that advise to heart and began to search for work out or gym or personal trainer that could fit with my budget and life style requirements fortunately I found Julie Johnson of www.Boot Camp Las Vegas adult outdoor fitness program. Although the program was tough but fun unlike a static gym there was enough variety in the activities to keep it fun and engaging and challenging regardless of your starting fitness level. I was able in a few weeks time to climb mountains and run faster and  have more energy and strength than I had in years!
