Dr Marc Dussault’s concept of the 1 Percent Improvement Doctrine is simple and straight-forward to understand and apply when you KNOW what to do. 1 Percent Improvement is NOT about doing something, but IMPROVING it 1 percent at a time. For example, if you are at work and you’re sitting down for 5 or 6 hours at your desk, a 1 Percent Improvement could be to…

Get up and stretch every hour – even if its’ only for 1 minute. It will revitalise your muscles and invigorate you to work better – BUT and there’s always a BUT… You actually have to do the stretching otherwise you THINK about 1 Percent Improvement, but unless you DO IT, you won’t get the result…

Not sure how to stretch? Guess what? We’ve made it easy for you to learn how to stretch safely without pulling any muscles with the Stretching Handbook.

Get your copy now and get started today by learning stretches you can do at work THIS WEEK.

I know this sounds simple because it is.

You know how hard it was to come to the the gym the first time… and the second and third time…

In fact I am sure you’ll agree it took about 3 weeks for you to really feel GOOD about it and then start to LOOK FORWARD to coming in…

That’s called creating a positive habit and even a positive addiction.

It all starts with 1 Percent…

I’d love to hear YOUR 1 PERCENT IMPROVEMENT HEALTH AND FITNESS IDEAS.

Post a comment to this blog post and I’ll share them with everyone!

I know you’re going to think these are self-evident ideas and guess what? You’re absolutely right. That’s the beauty of what Dr Marc Dussault calls the 1 Percent Improvement Doctrine.

1 Percent Improvement Tip: Make the Most of Your Commute, TAKE THE STAIRS

This one is best illustrated with this photo because I know that if I suggest you take the stairs instead of the escalator, you’d think it sounds like a ridiculous suggestion – well does this hammer home the point?!?!?

Get Fit - Don't Use The Escalator!

Get Fit - Don't Use The Escalator!

That’s it for today, after all the concept is about 1 Percent Improvement… If you take ONE more flight of stairs than you otherwise would have – you’re on your way!
