The added requirement to pack more into an already-too-busy life results in friction which drags at, limits, and ultimately can sink the best of diet and exercise hopes. The solution? Eliminate the friction component, using The Friction Factor to identify typical obstacles to diet and exercise.
Tyler Martin is a certified personal trainer who uses his expertise to craft real-world solutions to organizational dilemmas that thwart good health.
Chapters discuss the influences on making a health plan work, from knowing one's body and mental inclinations to setting attainable goals, designing workout and diet programs that work on many different levels, and making lifestyle adjustments that address the barrier of physical fitness's mandate to get and stay fit.
More than just a how-to on exercise and diet, Martin's book is a strategic assault on lethargy and ennui which advocates developing and adhering to a pattern of habits that not only support, but embrace fitness goals. The far-reaching impact of this strategy goes beyond diet and fitness, holding the opportunity to revise approaches to life: "...developing effective habits is a universal necessity for anyone seeking success in virtually any area."

Tyler Martin
Tyler Martin is a certified personal trainer and a former high school wrestling coach and collegiate-level athlete. As a coach, he helped young athletes achieve All-State and All-American level accolades and advance to collegiate-level competition. Tyler’s innovative approach to fitness and behavior change enables him to stay in fantastic shape while managing a demanding life as a full-time marketer, business owner, researcher, writer, and husband. His fitness system revolutionized his life by helping him and his family develop lifelong fitness habits that are compatible with busy lifestyles. After retiring from athletics, Tyler quickly realized that as an average working person, he’d have much less time and energy to devote to maintaining a proper diet and exercise regimen. This realization prompted him to develop a solution for getting and staying in great shape while expending the least amount of effort. He realized the habit-forming methods he learned as an athlete and coach could be applied to basic fitness principles to create a fitness system that is compatible with modern life. In 2010, Tyler began studying the diet and exercise literature and experimenting with various methods. After many years of being his own guinea pig and identifying what works, he devised an efficient and complete fitness philosophy and system. Soon after, his wife, Morgan, and her family implemented the system and they all experienced great success. He spent the next five years honing and codifying his approach into a straightforward and comprehensive program for busy people. Tyler, who lives in Louisville, Kentucky, enjoys laughing with his wife, playing with his dog, Maverick, and having deep discussions with a few good friends. When he has free time, Tyler enjoys reading inspiring novels and watching movies with great heroes.
