On Aug. 15 and 16, Drew Manning is scheduled to speak with Illinois fairgoers about his experiences as a fit personal trainer turned fat and unhealthy, who then lost the weight within six months to return to his ideal condition.
PRLog - Aug 05, 2013 - PLEASANT GROVE, Utah -- Personal trainer Drew Manning, a fitness celebrity who purposely gained nearly 75 pounds to inspire people to lose weight, will speak and sign books Aug. 15 and 16 at the Winnebago County Fair in Rockford, Ill.
Frustrated with the difficulty he was having empathizing with his fitness clients, Manning put his personal exercise routines on hold for 180 days as he gained 75 pounds, only to turn around and shed the extra weight over the next six months. Manning documented his weight-loss journey in his book, “Fit2Fat2Fit.”
“It’s one thing to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, but it’s another thing entirely to live in someone else’s body,” Manning said.
He loaded up on junk food and other unhealthy eats to experience similar body-image issues as those who were struggling to become fit.
“If I can share my knowledge with people, that’s where the power is,” Manning explained. “The most important thing you have in your life is your health.”
Having appeared on “Good Morning America”, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and CNN, Manning will speak to fairgoers about how they can experience success in their fitness journeys.
Asked to speak at the fair by Stateline Satellite, Manning will present to fairgoers about the principles he followed to lose 75 pounds. Manning is scheduled to speak at the fair Aug. 15 and 16 at 5 p.m.
Come to the Winnebago County Fair to speak with Manning about his experiences, and how they’ve changed his personal health and fitness routines, said Chris Grimm, director of sales and marketing for Stateline Satellite.
“Learn how you can go from fat to fit, or simply find out more about the health benefits of exercise and a good diet,” Grimm said. “Most of all, have fun with family and friends experiencing all the fair has to offer.”
