Most people focus on weight.

What you should focus on is capability.

A lean body is great.

But can you carry your luggage without getting winded?

Can you get off the floor easily?

Can you climb stairs, play with your kids, travel, train, and recover well?

These are the markers that matter.

The clients I work with aren't trying to become professional athletes.

They're building a body that supports a high-performing life.

How many of the 12 tests can you pass?
