LISTEN: Fitness and Life Coach Doug Setter Says 5 Minutes is All you Need

VANCOUVER, B.C. Canada — Certified Personal Trainer & Fitness Instructor, Doug Setter, has been a champion kick-boxer, marathon runner and mountain climber. He specializes in helping people get moving, maintain their fitness and grow stronger as they move through life. Doug says. . .

“It’s the start that stops most people. So use the five minute rule to get yourself moving.”

“Anyone can do anything they think is unpleasant for five minutes,” adds Doug. “Taking a walk to the stop sign and back, vacuuming 2-3 rooms, or picking up a pair of light weights and doing a few reps. Once you get moving, you often find you can keep going for a longer period of time and you are actually motivated to do so.”

Doug Setter has a degree in Human Ecology (study of foods and nutrition) and just released his new book, Fit Femme After 50, a follow up to Flat Gut After 50. Doug discusses how to have a high energy mindset, how to push yourself past procrastination, how to rid yourself of fatigue and much more.
