Fitness Advice from Aaron:

1)  Efficient movement is the foundation for all things physical.
2)  If you want to achieve something you must commit to a process and follow it consistently.
3)  If it doesn't challenge you it won't change you.

Aaron's Life Rules:

1)  Do at least one thing every day to improve your mind, body and spirit.
2)  Sharing your time and knowledge to help others is the greatest gift that one can give.
3)  Collect experiences......not things.
4)  Years ago, a very special person taught me that happiness is a choice and it must come from within
'I enjoy helping people push outside of their comfort zones and discover what they're truly capable of. To reach success in anything there are mental, physical, and emotional battles that must take place. You can't put a price on having someone help you through that process.'
