After spending five days at his MovNat Expansion course in West Virginia last week, I’m gratified to take a few rest days, heal my wounds and sleep in my own bed.

At the StrengthBox, the Eat REAL Challenge is well underway and all paleo-eating participants have been busy logging meals, charting progress and anticipating results.

Deciding to make changes in life is never an easy decision to make, and following through can be even harder. What holds people back from achieving their fitness goals?
