The First Step
The first step to getting fit is making the commitment to an active, healthy lifestyle. Maybe you've already made that commitment, but what if someone important to you is still sitting on the fence, or just plain won't get off the couch. On "The First Step," we find men and women who make exercise a daily part of their lives, but can't make that significant other, family member or best friend get on board. That's when host and professional fitness trainer Kurt Chacon steps in to educate and motivate both halves of the conflicted couples, and find an activity they can do together, to strengthen the relationship, and strengthen themselves. It can be a challenge, but the journey of a thousand miles always starts with "The First Step."
