I have decided to re-offer motivational coaching services to my current and future clients.  Stay tuned for future information concerning the web based platform which will allow us to better identify your fitness dream, 3-month goals, and weekly goals.  We can also identify those obstacles getting in your way of your fitness dream and brain storm ideas on what to do about getting around them. If anyone is interested contact Pete to discuss the service and the philosophy of motivational.

Ok, so maybe Stretch Armstrong is a little stretch of the imagination of how flexible we may be, but ya get the point.  A question I get a lot is how and when to stretch.

  I don’t have time.  I’m too tired.  It’s so boring.  I just don’t like to move.  I always end up quitting.  I’m too old.  I hate doing it alone.  My kids get in the way.  My back hurts.  I’m too fat.  I’m thin already.  I have arthritis.  I never get results.  I don’t know what to do.  Getting healthy is expensive.  I don’t feel well.  I have no motivation. I don’t care.

If exercise isn't fun, you probably won't do it. Find something that excites you whether it be dancing, exercising with a friend or group, walking the dog, gardening, ......something! Don't forget to switch it up from time to time to prevent boredom & plateau.
