Welcome to the new website.
In case you didn’t know Avidity Fitness is no longer going to be updated. It will still be there, and over the next couple of months the content there will be edited. A little bit of tidying up needs to be done. I will say that there is nothing nicer than having a fresh and clean home. Welcome to my new home.
I am sure you might have a few questions, and if you haven’t noticed that is part of the theme of the new site. This past year you have told me what you wanted. The end result of that is this website, and the things to come. Before we talk about things to come, let’s talk about what is here right now.
Ask Leigh: The Manual/Audios
I have been asked the same types of questions over and over again. I decided it was time to start working on a FAQ guide. What came out was the first edition of the “Ask Leigh Manual/Audios.”
Inside there are discussions on meal timing, hunger, body types, metabolisms, anorexia, pull ups, motivation, and more. It is a very nice collection, almost 80 pages/2+hours of audio on tons of material. There are also links to articles and resources with more material.
The best part? It is free.
Just join the list and help me spread the word. My subscribers can tell you that over the past 3 years I have never sold one email address, and my emails are respectful, helpful, and fun. The emails by the way will become even more customized for you.
Pass around the link as much as possible. If you find the manual helpful what you can do for me is let people know. If you see a question on a message board, and you think my manual can help, tell them about it. Link them here and tell them to sign up on the sidebar. That is it. Since I don’t believe in spam, you are going to have to do it for me.
Also, Sinead is out taking care of her new baby Molly Ann (congratulations) sales are down. I kid, I kid.
Ask Leigh: The Podcast
After you get the manual, hop on over to itunes and subscribe to the new podcast. The old one is no longer going to be updated. This is now the new podcast.
I like the theme of this podcast better because it doesn’t just hold me to discussing fat loss only. It allows me to cover a lot more. While fat loss is obviously my biggest topic of conversation, and not going anywhere, this allows me that freedom to feel better about doing so.
You can find out more info on the podcast in the post below this one.
What is to come?
A lot, but different. I know I have a habit of doing a 1001 things. No longer. I have decided to dedicate myself strictly to 4 projects, and 4 only. It is part of my journey of change, and I hope that you will be along for the ride.
Project One: Body By Eats
If you heard the last podcast then you know I can’t talk about it too much. That being said the site is now done, the product itself down, and we are now moving into the marketing stage. That alone is going to take a while, but with your help, and the help of some awesome professionals in and out of my field, I believe from the bottom of my heart that this is going to be epic.
With it will also be the first time, in over a year, that I will be able to offer a chance for consults and training online again.
Project Two: The Podcast and Blog
Frequent updates, unique content, and more interactions and challenges.
If you didn’t know I don’t do anything like anyone else. I challenge the standards, and like me or not sometimes, I am not boring that is for sure. I hope you love what you are going to get.
Project Three: My Own Transformation and Health
To say that I have let myself go, is a bit of an understatement. It just goes to show you that you can know it all, but that doesn’t mean you can do it all. While I may be leagues above in some eyes, in my own I am pretty beat up about my current training and composition. It seems like for the past year it has been a uphill battle to get better, and while I am almost there with my ankle, I have a lot of making up to do.
I went from being able to dance, pull up, squat, and run to now not being able to do any of it. It was easy to keep pushing it aside, but I can’t any longer. I haven’t laid out the plan exactly, but I know I will be doing it publicly, and it will involve testing out my own new program on myself. While I am highly dedicated once I put my mind to something, it is still going to be very hard physically to recover from all of this. Mentally challenging as well.
Project Four: Social What?
Lastly, I am going to keep up getting to know people more via jp’s, facebook, twitter, etc. I have really enjoyed it over the past week, and would like to make it more of a priority
That is it.







FIRST COMMENT!
Okay I haven’t read anything yet, but the site looks FREAKING AMAZING LEIGH!
Going to read now!!!
Thanks Jen. Glad you like it so far.
Site looks fantastic Leigh.
I like the idea of discussing life. Looking forward to seeing your view on more of the mental aspects. I always felt like that was a strong angle for you.
Can’t wait for Body By Eats too.
So pumped about the new site….will avidityfitness be gone now?

Sweeeet! (think Eric Cartman). Well, after looking over the site so far, I’m excited about what’s to come on the LP site
I absolutely love your new site, Leigh! It’s gorgeous w/ the colors and pictures and just the layout in general. I can’t wait to read everything as you regularly post it. BTW……I’m browsing while listening to the new podcast! Thumbs up from me!

Hey Leigh,
First time commentor here. I have been following your work for a little while. I am in love with what you do and the kind of person you are. You seem to inspire people left and right. It is amazing to watch.
I just opened up “Ask Leigh” and WOW! I have paid for expensive ebooks that didn’t have this kind of material in them. I wish I would have found you sooner.
By the way, I am down 6 poinds already. Thank you!

Shari-Ha your quick
Hazel-If I can inspire south park noises from people then I am doing something right in my life ya know. That is what it is all about.
Chris-Thanks.
Kevin-Haha You are right Kevin. It was not being able to physically withstand you not messing up something as simple as THREE LETTERS at the end of a url. Bastard.
Ginger-My twitter is http://www.twitter.com/leighpeele very original I know.
Danielle-Thanks a lot and congratulations. I hope you become a regular.
Very neat site Leigh. May I “ask” you something
Are you still going to post up articles?
Are you still going to be the voice against stupid trainers?
Are you still going to cuss at Kevin on the fitcast?
You aren’t going soft on me Leigh are you?
Ooh, sparkly new site! Looks awesome, Leigh. I now have all the Ask Leigh mp3s saved on my iPod, as well as the new podcast. I am ready to face my workouts.
Leigh!!!! Love it!!!! I just hate I am on vacation and have no cable internet to view the page in all it’s glory! I am using my phone which is better than nothing
I already love the new site – feels so cozy!! Can’t wait to get home and listen to the podcast and just really be able to access everything.
So cool!!
Hi Leigh! I love the look of the new site!
Keep up the great work! And know that all of your hard work is very appreciated!
Debby
Congrats on the site, Leigh! It’s very ascetically and emotionally appealing. It has a unique vibe that sucks the reader in. I don’t want to leave
Looking forward to your new products and visiting often.
Best of Luck,
Sarah
Looks great, Leigh. I’ve been looking forward to seeing your new site!
Steve

How cool that Molly and I get a shout out on the new site! Oh, and I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get back on track this week now that I’m done traveling/healing/etc.
LOVE the look of the new site. It’s awesome! I can’t wait to get a look at the new Ask Leigh download. i’m going to take a look (and listen!) at that tomorrow. Glad to see you focusing on getting all healed up!
Leigh,
Today’s my 63rd birthday and what a great closing-the-day birthday present to me… your new site!!!
I know you are going to take me down to my goal weight this year … finally gonna happen
I’m totally committed totally and with you as support, I feel confident even with a grouchy scale.
The site looks beautiful!!! Modern, easy on the eye, inviting, professional…
I love your 4 projects too!
All the best dreams come true for you!
Congrats!
- ETANA
Looks fantastic Leigh!
Best of luck with your own transformation… With things shiny and sparkly, it makes for good motivation to start ‘cleaning things up’ in other aspects of your life too!
Greg-
Are you still going to post up articles? – Yep
Are you still going to be the voice against stupid trainers? -This is me you are talking to
Are you still going to cuss at Kevin on the fitcast? – It would damn near kill me not to
You aren’t going soft on me Leigh are you? – Never
Amanda- I am looking to load up my ipod a lot to. Sadly listening to yourself is just weird so I must look elsewhere.
Missy-Where you at right now?
Debby- Thanks debby I appreciate that.
Sarah-Your description made me want to stay that is for sure.
Steve-Honored to have you stop by Steve
Sinead-I am glad you are well and things are going good. Give that kid a peck for me.
Etana-Thanks a lot. I had a lot of the things you said in particular in mind when trying to lay things out. Happy Birthday!
Emma-Truer words could never be spoken, thank you.
Awesome candor! I can’t wait to see what comes from your new 4 project approach! We all need to step back and refocus every once in awhile… I find it’s way too easy to get carried away with every shiny exciting project that pops into existence in my head. Good luck with the journey back to health!

The new site is amazing Leigh! Can’t wait to see what you post up.
I love your style. It is so clean and fresh.
I am trying to put together a blog for my business. It isn’t fitness related but I was wondering if you could tell me who did your work for you. Thanks!
Happy Birthday, Etana!
Love it!! The site looks awesome, really lookin forward to listening to the new podcasts. I’ve ordered a copy of the Procrastinators Handbook too as deff sounds like a book I could use! Can’t wait to watch this one develop
Hey Leigh it’s Ed! We trained together years ago. I am not suprised how far you have come but it is really great to see. I was listening to the fitcast the other day and wanted to ask a question. Where do I go to do that?
Leigh,
I agree with everyone, the new site looks great. I like the way you got to post pics of the pooch. Great hats.
Happy Birthday, Etana.
Leigh,
Love the new site. Hopefully I’ll actually get some time to look at everything soon.
Your new blog looks great!
I’m going to check it everyday first thing in the morning
And of course I’ve already subscribed to the podcast, looking forward for what is to come.
Lucia

Hey Leigh!
I am back home now – came back 1 day early. We went to my Dad’s in Northwest Arkansas – the Ozark mountain area. It was so great walking there – I definitely kept my activity level up!!
