Overview
It’s easy to take our wellbeing for granted, particularly when we’re young. As we get older many of us ignore the odd niggle and the subtle signs that our body is asking for a bit more attention or wants us to rest. Work and family commitments tend to take priority. Yet without our health, life cannot be lived to the full. Life spans often exceed health spans these days.
Even if we are interested in helping our bodies to keep well we’re bombarded with so much, often conflicting, information it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Get Strong, Get Fit, Get Happy is written for anyone aged 40+ who wants to invest in their long-term health but without it dominating their lives. Retired Operational Fire Fighter, Stuart Roberts, shares his experience as a naturopathic nutritionist and personal trainer to show you that it’s never too late to get stronger, fitter and happier.
If you are new to looking after your health and fitness this book will give you a solid foundation on which to build your knowledge and practical tips to get you started.
If you are already into keeping fit and healthy and are looking to make some enhancements, we hope it gives you some new insights and fresh perspectives so you can make informed choices about what feels right for you.
At the end of each chapter there are downloadable action plans and exercises to help you move forward with your health and fitness goals.

What people say...
"A brilliant resource! An almanac for increasing health span and staying fit, strong and healthy into the 21st century.
There is a plethora of information out there, and Stuart organises the book into easy, digestible principles that have helped me understand the why and the how.
He also takes it that step further by providing simple ways to apply the information, which has helped me make the necessary incremental changes needed, day by day.
Get Strong, Get Fit, Get Happy is a brilliant bedside resource that I will use for years to come to help me and my family get fit and stay fit. Thank you Guru Stu, you have done it again".
