Anytime you’re feeling less than inspired by the progress of your own physical fitness, consider the story of Peter Nault.
In 1983, at the age of 23, Peter was in an accident that resulted in complete paralysis. Doctors told him he would never walk again, much less be able to speak, or feed himself, or any of the many miraculous things we take for granted every day.
What the doctors didn’t reckon was Peter’s enormous will to live – and live well. Within one year, he wasn’t just walking, he’d also relearned English and French (he’s from Ottawa, Canada) – and he’d trained himself to an extremely high level of personal fitness. Cut to 1996 when he began his career as a personal trainer. Peter was truly the best advertisement of his achievements in the arenas of health and fitness. He started applying his learnings to his clients, with programs tailored to their specific needs, and the outcome was one success story after another.
