When some of the brightest minds in fitness gathered in New York City this summer, there was no shortage of big ideas. It began with James Grage, the Vice President of BPI Sports, who was looking for a way to build upon the success of his recent training program, 60 Days to Fit. What he wanted this time around, however, sounded beyond lofty—a program that could get you big, strong, lean, and athletic while deftly maneuvering your body around plateaus, spiking intensity and backing off at just the right times. On top of that, he wanted to make the workouts fun, engaging competition between readers, and delivering a wholly unique experience. It had to be a program with a solid enough foundation to guarantee progress, yet varied and flexible enough to keep interest piqued. Best of all: the 60-day mark wasn’t an end point, but a beginning, with readers learning enough along the way to be able to build their own long-term program. Grage was joined by top M&F advisors and experts in the fitness industry to develop the 60 Day Revolution. We’re incredibly proud of the program we’ve built and can’t wait to see everyone’s results. Follow along, share your progress, and join the revolution. #60dayrevolution

What are some tips to keep people on track with a diet and nutrition plan? I have found that having my clients keep food journals and also email me daily food logs helps keep them on track. Having to write down what they eat each day helps them make more health conscious decisions when choosing what they should eat.
