Professional career

In 1989, Hubbard began traveling extensively as a motivational speaker to corporate America on how to get fit for life. During those years Hubbard discovered that the greatest obstacle to personal fitness is time. He then began developing his unique approach to exercise, determined to come up with a simple fitness formula that would overcome the common obstacles and excuses keeping most people from getting and staying physically fit.
