The Roberts Protocol is your guide to the creation of a Perpetual Fitness and Wellness Plan, and is based on the principles of my 4 Pillars of Fitness, which allows you to seamlessly integrate a perpetual fitness plan into your daily life/routine.
Neutral Posture is not only important for the health of your spine as it ages, but is essential for the activation of the 'True Core'™; the key factor for driving Perpetual Fitness.
'True Core'™ strength is created by a specific activation of an internal muscle group that produces a stabilizing girdle of force around the Centre of Gravity (COG).
Cardio Fitness is not exclusively about the time or speed at which you do exercise but, may be, more importantly, about the speed at which your heart rate returns to its normal resting rate.
The Balance System is very complex. Put into the simplest of terms, it is largely driven and controlled by 3 systems.
Living Fitness transforms every posture and movement you make into a meaningful core exercise, building a foundation for lifelong, sustainable fitness. Instead of relying on external equipment, you become the gym—your own strength-training tool.
Living Fitness is important because it integrates fitness into all daily tasks, eliminating the need to interrupt your routine to do external exercise. It solves a common problem for people who dislike traditional workouts by providing a simple, natural way to maintain your body’s strength and functionality over time.
Many people search for external solutions—like the perfect diet or the best exercise program—believing these will protect their health as they age. But true, lasting fitness comes from within. Living Fitness acts as a safety net, building your foundation and preserving your quality of life and functional strength for the long term without relying on temporary fixes.
A big mistake people make is believing in “magic” solutions—whether it’s a single exercise, a specific piece of equipment, or even a routine at the gym. These approaches often act as unsustainable band-aids. They might temporarily improve strength or fitness, but they fail to address long-term, natural functionality.
Over-reliance on tools like gym machines or supportive devices can undermine your body’s innate abilities to build and support itself over time. Instead of enhancing your natural function, they may erode it over time. Restoring natural movement and strength—not compensating for it—is essential for long-term quality of living.

Most traditional fitness programs lack a connection to real-life, functional tasks. For instance, gym workouts rarely translate into practical movements like standing up from a chair, picking up toys, or climbing stairs. Many people assume that exercise builds a reserve of strength and flexibility for future use, but this isn’t how the body works. You can’t store fitness.
The body is a beautifully designed system meant to function as a whole. Isolated exercises that don’t align with natural movements can do more harm than good, especially if performed incorrectly. Living Fitness bridges this gap by focusing on building a strong foundation using functional, integrated movement that mirrors real-life needs.
Unlike other programs that target specific muscles—typically in the limbs—Living Fitness emphasizes the ‘True Core’™ as the primary driver and protector of movement. When the ‘True Core’™ is neglected, the limbs carry extra weight without proper control, leading to inefficiency and injury.
Most programs fail to connect exercise into real-life functional tasks. Living Fitness stands out by reconnecting you to natural movement, making you the exercise equipment. It transforms daily living into a workout, seamlessly marrying fitness with the tasks of everyday life. This approach restores what’s missing in traditional fitness and empowers you to sustain your power and fitness, not just for today, but for a lifetime.

Neutral Posture is not only important for the health of your spine as it ages, but is essential for the activation of the ‘True Core’; the key factor for driving Perpetual Fitness. Neutral Posture is characterized by the specific alignment of 3 external points along the skeleton and is interlinked and interdependent on good flexibility throughout all joints.
“Posture and flexibility training using my RP Method, will help you discover why achieving correct Posture and investing in good Flexibility could be your best hedge against the inflation of aging” — Karen
‘True Core’™ strength is created by a specific vertical activation of an internal muscle group that produces a stabilizing girdle of force around the Centre of Gravity (COG). The task of the ‘True Core’™ is to support the neutral posture, initiate all movement away from the COG, and drive strength and power into the limbs when they are loaded for functional tasks.
“Creating a strong ‘True Core’ through training in my RP method will be like finding your very own Golden Ticket”. —Karen
Cardio Fitness is not exclusively about the time or speed at which you do exercise but, may be, more importantly, about the speed at which your heart rate returns to its normal resting rate after a physical challenge.
HiiT (High-intensity interval Training) has become the most popular training method of choice for improving Cardio Fitness. My version of HiiT could have you Cardio Fit in as little as 2-5x/week, at 5 min/session.
“My RP Cardio Fitness program is brilliant, efficient, and life changing, and may make any journey you take, seem like a simple walk in the park”. —Karen
The Balance System is very complex. Put into the simplest of terms, it is largely driven and controlled by 3 systems: Visual inputs: our 1st defence against falling; Proprioceptive inputs: our position sense, or how we perceive where we are in the space we occupy; and the Vestibular inputs: a complex system involving our inner ear fluid and the receptors in our neck muscles. Whew!!
We can correct for Visual changes through prescription lenses or surgery, but more importantly, we can train and strengthen the Proprioception and Vestibular systems to give 3 strong Balance Systems that can serve and protect us well and improve our safety as we age.
” My RP training for a strong Balance System could have you dancing again and jumping for joy”.—Karen
