An extract from my conversation with Joe:

Nothing I can do or say can truly motivate you to do something - you have to take action.  Its the action of getting up and just doing your exercise, thats whats going to motivate you, thats whats going to give you the sense of achievement and keep you on track.  People are constantly asking me - what can I do differently.  But ultimately you have to just get up and just do

I really hope you enjoyed the podcast with Joe as much as I did - I found it fascinating and the insight into his life was very candid.
We all have good days and bad days when it comes to motivation and the best piece of advice I can give you is to forgive yourself when you dont have the motivation or enjoy that occasional treat.  Enjoy the moments where you dont do a healthy activity and you can always get back on track the next day.
