The most dangerous lie successful leaders believe is that they have to choose between their career and their health.You have spent years building your professional reputation. You have optimized your systems, scaled your teams, and secured your financial future.But look in the mirror. Does the person staring back look like a high-performance leader?Or do they look tired, inflamed, and softened by years of neglect?I talk to successful executives and entrepreneurs every day who feel a deep sense of incongruence.• They command respect in the boardroom, but they hide under loose clothes on the weekends.• They have the resources to enjoy life, but lack the energy to keep up with their kids.• They manage billion-dollar assets, but let their most important asset—their body—depreciate.Physical neglect isn't a "sacrifice" for your career. It is a liability.It is costing you mental clarity. It is costing you confidence. And eventually, it will cost you time with the people you are working so hard to provide for.My name is Montel Hardin.And myself, along with our women’s health specialist &amp; my wife, Tash Hardin; help busy leaders reclaim their bodies without sacrificing their careers or overhauling their lives.Our clients are not "gym rats."

If you are ready to stop drifting and start leading your health...DM me "SYSTEM" and let's see if we're a fit.

After almost a decade of helping men get in better shape, here's 10 of my favorite 'cheat codes' to make it happen: 

1. Eat protein first. Physically put the steak/chicken in your mouth before you touch a side dish. It triggers satiety hormones instantly.

2. Sleep is the best PED. If you sleep 5 hours, your testosterone drops to that of a man 10 years older. 7 hours is non-negotiable.

3. Grip strength predicts longevity. Carry heavy things (Farmer Walks). Strong hands usually mean a strong heart.

4. Clear spirits only. If you’re going to drink, stick to Tequila or Vodka with soda water. Beer is basically liquid bread.

5. The 3-Second Rule. Lower the weight for 3 seconds on every rep. You’ll build more muscle with less weight, saving your joints.

6. Environment > Willpower. If it’s in the house, you will eat it. Don't rely on discipline at 8 PM; rely on a clean pantry.

7. Heels elevated squats. If your knees hurt, put your heels on a plate. It shifts the load to the quads and saves the lower back.

8. Decision fatigue is real. Automate your breakfast and lunch. Save your mental energy for your work and your family, not your food.

9. Potatoes > Rice. Boiled potatoes have the highest "satiety index" of any food on earth. You can eat double the volume of potatoes for the same amount of calories as rice. If you are constantly hungry, swap your carb.

10. Calls = Movement. Take your phone calls while walking. You’ll think clearer and burn 300 extra calories effortlessly.

Getting in shape is simple, but it's definitely not easy. 

Strategies like these have helped myself & clients I've worked with make it a little more practical. 

Sometimes that makes all the difference.

If I only had 3 hours a week to save my health, here's exactly how I'd do it:

If I had 3hrs a week to save my health, here's what I'd do:

There's a big difference between 'working out' & training.

Big difference between 'dieting' & fueling.

​"Working out" is what you do when you show up to the gym and move weights until you’re tired.

It’s an outlet for stress, but it rarely results in a 30lb weight loss or a physique you’re proud of.

​"Training" is when every set, every meal, and every hour of sleep is a calculated investment toward a specific KPI.

​You don't need another "fitness journey." You need a tailored roadmap.

​For the rest of February, I'm opening 5 slots for a 90-Minute Strategy Session & 90-Day Roadmap.

​I’ll audit your current routine, find the "leaks" in your metabolism, and build your custom execution plan.

​I only have 5 spots available for this. Once they are gone, the offer is off the table.

Book the best time slot for you, here: 1:1 Strategy Session
