Decatur Rotary Club Meeting Information: Dave Hubbard: America’s Fitness Coach
Date: 3/12/2010 at 12:15 PM
Dave Hubbard was an All-American collegiate athlete, and played professional football in the 1970s for Hank Stram and the New Orleans Saints, as an offensive tackle. Stepping out of the active world of professional athletics into a sedentary job, combined with a very serious back injury incurred from a near fatal accident, left him overstressed, physically out of shape, and in poor health. Motivated by the fact the average life span of an ex-NFL athlete was only 53 years of age, he decided to get his act together.
Dave soon discovered that everyone was struggling with the same challenges he struggled with in his attempts to manage stress and stay physically fit. As he researched why most people were failing to maintain their fitness, he realized that the popular health and fitness recommendations were out of sync with the reality of most people’s lives. Consequently, far too many people were spending way too much time doing the wrong type of exercise, only to get frustrated and give up.
Dave is known today as Americas Fitness Coach®. He has presented and lectured for over 20 years to corporations and organizations, motivating and challenging busy business professionals to take better care of their most valuable asset-their body. Dave has also been featured many times on radio and television, and is a frequently published author on many major online health and fitness sites. His recently published book is titled: FAT to FIT in only 10 Minutes a Day, a new formula for fitness that will transform your body and energize your life.
Dave and his wife Melinda live in Marietta, Georgia and have two adult children.
