The common misconception is that athletes are programmed to succeed, but a lot of thought and work goes into developing and maintaining health. In this video, HealthMaker Mark Verstegen describes the fundamentals of a healthy life.

Mark Verstegen is president and founder of Athletes’ Performance and Core Performance, a cutting-edge training program for elite athletes. He serves as the director of Performance for the NFL Players Association.
