The fitness niche is saturated with the same tips repeated ad nauseam. Here's how to build a content strategy that actually reaches your specific audience and drives program sales without copying what's already out there.

I blamed my genetics. I blamed my age. I blamed the fact that I had two kids and apparently my metabolism had "changed."
