David A Hubbard

David A Hubbard (born September 29, 1955) is a former college and professional American football player who is now a speaker and author on health and fitness.

Hubbard grew up in Napa, California. In 1973 he received a full athletic scholarship to Brigham Young University, where he played offensive tackle and guard under LaVell Edwards.^[1] During his time at BYU, Hubbard played in the Fiesta Bowl and in the Senior Bowl.^[2]

Hubbard was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the fifth round and played in the 1970s under Hank Stram.^[3] After football, his playing weight combined with a serious back injury from a near fatal accident made it difficult to get and stay physically fit. In 1989, Hubbard began traveling extensively as a motivational speaker to corporate America on how to get fit for life. During those years Hubbard discovered that the greatest obstacle to personal fitness is time. He then began developing his unique approach to exercise, determined to come up with a simple fitness formula that would overcome the common obstacles and excuses keeping most people from getting and staying physically fit.

In 2000 Hubbard was awarded a U.S. patent for his unique exercise method.^[4] He calls himself "America's Fitness Coach"^[5] and provides fitness advice in online articles and on television.^[6][7] His most recently published book is BAD CHUTE! Why most Americans fail with fitness..
