Julian Hayes II Explains the Art of Success Through Fitness

Q: Your book “Body Architect – A Real World Guide to Ignite Your Fitness, Look Awesome Naked, Quite the Inner Voices of Self Doubt & Design a lifestyle on Your Own Terms” came out last June. Can you tell about the book and what inspired you to write it?

A: Absolutely, it’s a book that provides a roadmap to integrating yourself into the world of health and fitness without losing your identity or having to sacrifice your desired lifestyle. I wrote this book because we now live in a world where many suffer from information overload and don’t know where to start. I wanted to write a book that provided practical tips on how someone could get started living a healthier life without falling prey to needless tactics.

Q: What is the one thing a person can do today, not tomorrow, but today that can help them get on the right track?

A: It’s far from sexy but just start. Many will procrastinate or put it off until tomorrow or Monday, but don’t you do that—have a bias for action. For example, if you don’t exercise at all, go for a 20-minute walk right after reading this. Make your next meal a healthy one. Just start and aim for 1% daily improvement.
