Reach
Reach Past Your Limits: Tips on making exercise part of your life
After more than 30 years of working out while living with cerebral palsy, I
want to help readers of all abilities make exercise part of their life.
The book came out of working on a blog series called “Seeking Positive
Answers.” I wanted to explore the idea of someone seeing my efforts to stay in
shape as something special or inspirational. Reach Past Your Limits pulls
concrete strategies from that moment of inspiration that will truly motivate
people of all ability levels to exercise. I offer simple ideas that readers can
use to get started immediately, including my “Top 4 Tips to Stay Motivated to
Work Out.”
Finding time to work out, dealing with aches and pains, getting older . . .
these are things that will get in the way of an exercise regimen for everyone
at some point. As we age, staying motivated with realistic goals that still
push us to be our best is essential. My experience in dealing with many
obstacles to a healthier life gives me a unique perspective that will help
readers choose exercise over excuses. From training to ride in a 75-mile
cycling event to shooting baskets on a 10-foot regulation hoop despite a
disability that complicates coordination, I’ve seen the importance of setting
real life goals to do things that seem almost impossible. The book covers these
topics and more in simple, easy-to-read chapters that will help you reach past
your limits.

Reviews from readers:
“A quick, informative read that goes into the author’s
views on motivation and provides concrete examples on how to set goals and
maintain your focus/motivation when exercising. I’ve been slacking on the gym
for a few months now since I started a new job and my schedule changed. Reading
this is the push I needed to get back into the habit of making time to work
out.”
— Danny Gee on Apple Books
“I learned about Rob’s writings from a friend and have
read all of his books. They are all well written and fun to read. His sincerity
and motivation shines through. He doesn’t dwell on his disability; rather he
seems to be motivated by it. And the reality of it all, is that we all need to
be motivated to be the best we can. I highly recommend Rob as a good read.”
— Bart Fair on Amazon

My
Workout
In this series
of videos, I demonstrate some of the exercises that I do as part of my workout.
The idea is to continue what I started with the book and motivate people to get
started with their workout or to bring it to the next level.
What’s
Your Favorite Exercise...
My interview
series, “Exploring Motivation,” brings other voices to the site as we discover
different perspectives on what motivates all of us. For some fun, I ask people,
“What’s your favorite exercise?” and get them to offer a video demonstration.
My friend Tom Gibson demonstrates his favorite exercise as he helped me kickoff "Exploring Motivation." Read the full interview on my blog.
