Why nutrition is the foundation for success

Less than two weeks left until Pulling For The Hungry, and we here at Personal Trainers Toronto could not be more excited.

On October 10, in Yonge-Dundas Square, I’ll have an opportunity to do something pretty special, which is pull a school bus in front of thousands of spectators and a throng of media, to raise money for a very worthy cause – hungry children in Toronto schools.

Almost half of Toronto kids go to school hungry, a fact which I find completely unacceptable!

In a recent TV interview I talked about the double whammy of how, before this all got started, I was nowhere near the kind of shape I would need to be in to be able to do this, and I would really only have about 15 weeks altogether to get ready for pulling a bus.

I’ve always thought that 190 lbs. of bodyweight vs. 28,000 lbs. of school bus is a really cool metaphor for the fight we face with eliminating child hunger in our city. But what’s even more cool is how the process of getting ready to pull the bus has helped me further underline the importance of this issue.

My point is this: the foundation of my being able to transform my body once again and prepare for this event is proper nutrition, and that’s exactly what these kids need – if they’re gonna have a shot.

Without proper nutrition, not only would I not have the energy I need to train, but I would not have been able to gain the muscular bodyweight and strength that I have over the past twelve weeks.

It’s putting nutrition first that enables our Personal Trainers Toronto students to consistently and dramatically transform their bodies, lose weight, and transform themselves, their ability to do, to act, and their outlook on life.

Nutrition is numero uno, number one, the big cahuna when it comes to changing your body, reclaiming your health, boosting your energy – and yes, maximizing academic performance!

We must address nutrition first, before all else, as this is where your body gains the basic fuel it needs to function. How far would you get if you drove your car without gas? How much would you remember if forced to learn while starving?

The same energy and ability to focus that we require as adults to perform better at our jobs and enjoy a better quality of life is exactly what kids need to get the most out of their education.

Without this there is no foundation for success.

Without the right nutrition there is no foundation for success. This is equally true for your weight loss program, your overall health, and a child’s ability to grow and develop.

Put first where it belongs, make nutrition a priority – in your life, in your child’s life, in our community. Please give generously to those who need it, because when you do, you’re giving hope to kids who face hunger, poverty, and violence at school everyday.
