How many fitness programs does it take to finally get in shape? How long must one search to find the perfect combination of exercises? The truth is, fitness has never been about the perfect exercise program. Any number of exercises can get a person in shape, but how much you actually exercise over time is determined by something far more powerful than your choice of movements: your relationship with exercise itself. For many, that relationship is broken. Shame-ridden. Driven by pressure, guilt, and "shoulds" instead of genuine desire.

On 1 August 1990, British Airways Flight 149 departed from Heathrow airport, destined for Kuala Lumpur. It never made it there, and neither did its nearly 400 passengers. Instead, Flight 149 stopped to refuel in Kuwait, as Iraqi troops amassed on the border—delivering the passengers and crew into the hands of Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi army, to be used as 'human shields' during their invasion.
