Health 101: Fitness With Darren Boykin


Starting the journey of fitness was such a long learning curve for me and my hope is this episode with Darren helps you avoid my mistakes - LANCE FOULIS

I have a bit of experience going to the gym and lifting; I lifted religiously in my younger years. I took a few things away from that season, but this guy blew me away. Darren's philosophy of fitness rings true to the everyday person and I'm a big fan of his story and how he strategically approaches fitness. He's has such a smooth wisdom when he talks about working out, and it's clear there's a whole lot of tools and tips to learn from this man who takes a healthy approach to wellness. In this episode he shares loads of ways to start the game plan of building it into everyday life. Do you or someone you know want to improve your fitness habits? Think about sending them this episode.
