Fit By Nature, by John Colver with M. Nicole Nazzaro, is our proof that there are wonderful wellness allies out there who believe in the vision of helping people to put the power of health in their own hands. John and Nicole were supremely fortunate to find such a marvelous group of professionals to bring this book from initial vision to final copy, to Powell’s, REI, Barnes & Noble and many other fabulous book sellers. We especially want to recognize the astounding work of our photographer, Sean Airhart, whose photography is featured on the banner for this page and whose work made the words come alive. Published by the Mountaineers Books in 2011, Fit By Nature outlines the adventX 12-week outdoor training program. The book offers equal parts inspiration and exercise instruction, leading you through all that you need to know in order to create a fun, enjoyable outdoor workout.
