Health Is Wealth
Bob is maniacal about his workout routine
His Reasons for working out: Health, Vanity, Sanity
Exercise always gave Bob an opportunity for solitude, to be still with his thoughts.
His Morning routine:
- Starts his day at 4:15 am: figure out what is best for you – morning routines are not most effective for all
- Does 45 minutes on a Versa Climber
- Works out in the dark – you become immersed in your activity- a meditative state of sorts

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
