Josh Jackson, a member of the LDS Church working as a personal trainer in California in 2008, was asked by missionaries to help create a fitness routine that would help them exercise without equipment.
“They started asking me for tips and advice and I started writing small workouts for them on paper and then I continued writing more extensive workouts, 2-3 week long regiments, and then that just inspired me after seeing the success, to put something in to where it would last the whole 2 years for the mission,” said Jackson.
Jackson is now the creator and Chief Innovation Officer of LDS Missionary Fitness, a company which has produced a 2-year workout made especially for missionaries.
