Description
Put fitness into practice with this balance-driven guide from cyclist, CEO, and coach Art Trapotsis.
Do the demands of your career, family, and life constantly sabotage your efforts to improve your fitness? Exercise is vitally important for good health, but it usually takes a back seat when life becomes busy. You might prioritize your work and family relationships out of what seems like necessity, but before you realize it, your fitness goals are pushed aside and you feel stressed out and unbalanced. The bright side? It doesn't have to be that way.
In The Everyday Athlete, Art Trapotsis—father, husband, CEO, and endurance athlete—shares:
• How fitness is the most important—and often overlooked—ingredient to finding balance in life
• How to develop and nourish a fitness mindset and make exercise a consistent part of your routine
• Methods and best practices to get fitter without jeopardizing your relationships or career
Current, former, and future athletes of all kinds, from seasoned competitors to weekend warriors, will find useful tools for improving fitness along with work-life balance. The included “KIT Quiz” offers a gut check on your current balance and tips for how you can improve it. Whether you’re training for a major event, reviving your fitness routine, or starting fresh, you’ll find motivation and inspiration from the author’s personal stories and unique approach for squeezing fitness into a busy life, thereby creating balance. Everyone can be an athlete, every day.

Katie Q, Reviewer
I started reading this ARC the day after I talked to a friend about needing motivation to start working out again now that my son is two months old - WOW, what perfect timing. This book is well organized, motivating for the everyday person, and so easy to read. It was exactly what I needed, and might be exactly what you need too.
Some things I loved:
▪️ No matter your fitness level, you can call yourself an athlete
▪️ There is a chapter specifically for parents of young children
▪️ Non-judgmental. In fact, extremely encouraging
Highly recommend!

The Everday Athlete was more than what I expected in many areas. #ArtTrapotsis writes from both personal and professional life experiences. He provides a path to practical applocation and mindset changes. #KIT or Keeping it Tight, is explained as an encouraging bar you set with yourself to acheive life balance. I was able to get a lot from the quiz and the dialog in that chapter. Some of the suggestions are not practical for some females - like working out during work hours. I can't imagine getting all sweaty, then going through my entire morning routine again while at work, I laughed at that recommendation and saw it as somewhat one dimensional. I enjoyed the book overall and would recommend it to anyone that just wants to figure out what fitness and health means to them by seeing yourself as an athlete. My 4 star is more out of my preference for compartmentalizing topics. I felt like some of the information was scattered or repeated. This does not take away from the content. Just a personal preference of mine. Enjoy!
