Asparagus is high in vitamin A, folic acid and dietary fiber, which are all thought to play a vital role in fighting cancer.

It also contains high levels of potassium, which may help control blood pressure.

Better yet, asparagus is rich in rutin and iron which boost the body's immune system.

It's also cholesterol free.

I love pairing this low-starch carb with a lean protein (think grilled chicken).

I’ve believed this for as long as I’ve coached:

My job is to lift you up.

Pretty simple, but I think that’s the core of what I do.

☀️I help you see greater possibilities… and reach them.

☀️I believe in you… even in those moments when you don’t believe in yourself.

☀️I help you find solutions you often couldn’t find on your own.

☀️I catch you doing things right.

See, I think that people, for the most part, will live up to (or down to) their expectations.

And a seasoned coach, like me, has the ability to help you raise those expectations.

I’ve got the knowledge, skills and 24+ years of experience to help you achieve the best version of yourself.

Frankly, that’s why I coach.

It’s why I'm considered the best online personal trainer for men and women, over the age of 40.

It’s why I help you lead by example so you can create generational health.

Coaches Joseph and Sharon Arangio

You see, it’s not about the tools or the processes.

I use those things to help you travel from where you are right now… to where you want to be.

It’s not about some one-size-fits-all solution that I’m imposing on everyone.

It’s trying to help each person I serve unlock their unique potential.

It’s not about trying to force my version of “perfect” actions or behaviors on you. Instead, it’s helping you become a little bit better every day and enjoy that incremental improvement.

See, I think this is what a coach does.

An instructor might teach a specific curriculum or process… and their focus is on that thing they’re instructing.

As a coach, well, my focus is on lifting you up to become what you want to be and what you're capable of.

It’s easy to find an instructor from time to time; however, I’d caution you against it.

The world we’re living in is making instructors more of a commodity than ever before.

Instruction is available on FaceTube and thousands of other sites online for free or close to it.

You can get free instruction in a book at your local library.

You can “pick someone’s brain” and get them to share free instruction.

And access to instruction is only going to become more available.

But coaching… there will always be ample opportunities for the best online personal trainer who can bring out the best in you, lift you up, and help you actually achieve your priority-one goal.

I’m not sure how that can ever be fully automated.

So, my suggestion is to spend your time around great coaches… and more importantly, find a coach that gives you the feeling that “my life is higher quality with my coach on my team.”

Do that and you’ve created a reliable and repeatable system that allows you to live to your full potential.

Leading by example.

Help others and leave a happy legacy.

Success requires a plan and encouragement.

But even with my help, you still need to do the work.

If you want to get lean and strong, you must have a positive attitude, be committed to the necessary process, and have perseverance.

Focus on those things first and success will come.

Your friend,

Coach Joe
