I hear that word a lot, BUSY! I try to tell my clients even if they have 10 minutes, use them wisely. I have one client that exercises 3-10 minute cycles. You can run, walk or crawl a mile. In the end, it is still a mile. Some people compare themselves to others during an activity. My main focus is to just be the best YOU can be. There will always be someone that is better, and worse, then you.
Fitness can be fun. It is all in your preception. I have a woman training for her first sprint triathlon. She works 35 hours a week, has two small children and a husband. Between the kids sports and family obligations, she still finds time to train.
With summer approaching us, take time to go outside and walk around. Enjoy the wonders God has provided. I hope to see some of you at the Fittness Convention. I am so looking forward to that.
Hello everyone!
I was offered to work at the Senior Fitness Conference in Boca Raton the first weekend in June. I am so excited to attend this conference since the demographics in my area are mostly seniors. I will be working Saturday and Sunday from 8:30-5:30. My poor husband will have to sit around the pool and relax for 2 days. Such a rough life.
I read a great article about nutrition not being boring. The blog was from "The Nutrition Twins". Google them and read their blog about a Perfect Day of Meals. It shows how 3 meals a day can be really good! I might have to try their receipes.
I am still spinning three days a week, resistance training 2 days a week and cardio 5 days a week. Try to make a change each week no matter how small. And remember, HAVE FUN no matter what you do in life!
Well, I got back from my cruise on Saturday afternoon. Needless to say I put on 2 pounds. I did exercise 4 of the days. Their gym was amazing! The treadmills and elipiticals lined the front window overlooking the ocean. There must of been 75 treadmills. The weight machines were on the other half. I did not do any of their extensive classes.
Today is my first day back to work and I must say, It feels good. I made a homemade dinner last night and went to my gym yesterday. I guess as we get older, we become a creature of habit. In two weeks I weight in and have my body fat compared to what it was 8 weeks ago! Can't wait.
I still feel strong and ready to go! I will be back in two weeks and let you know if I lost any body fat. Hope everyone enjoys their day. Make the most of what you have!!
Well I am now in week 3 of the program. I have lost 5 pounds and seem to be getting stronger. I have really been good on my "diet" of 1700 calories a day. In two weeks I go on my family cruise for 7 days. That ought to shake things up!!
I am going to start training someone for their first sprint triathlon. I am looking forward to working with her on her strength training and bricks. The Heartland Triathlon is in June and I am the volunteer coordinator. We need at least 200 people for this event. I am asking everyone that is breathing if they want to help! We have a two day event. On Saturday it is for the kids and on Sunday it is for the adults.
I used to participate in this event every year before I got injured. It is the best organized tri I have ever done. If you would like to participate, please go to www.Heartlandtri.org. Trust me, it is great!

I have been selected to do an 8 week program at my gym! They dictate the exercise and menu to use for 8 weeks. After that time, I will be reassessed! Very excited to see how this works and then we can implement it to our clients. Just in time for my cruise!
My husband is doing his cardio three times a week and he is still alive. He says he has more energy and feels better. Since he babysits our grandson 4 days a week he needs all the energy he can get :)
Thanks for reading. Hope to hear from you soon.
I have a new client! My husband!! I have him doing cardio three days a week. I try to do it with him. When he is on the treadmill, I am on the elipitical then we switch the next day. He's a trooper!
Our spin facility is coming along slowly. I am doing spin with one client that is not to sure if she likes it or not. Sort of a love/hate relationship. She loves the calorie burn but hates the work. Story of our lives.
I hope everyone is on track with their new year's resolutions. If not, try again!!
Well another Christmas is past! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I have started back with the food plan since I ate A LOT of cookies over the break.
I am not one on new year resolutions, but each year I focus on healthy living. When someone tells me they want to loose weight, I suggested focusing on eating healthy and daily exercise. They don't have to run a marathon, just do something! If you follow this lifestyle, you will loose weight and feel better.
I know someone that has lost over 100 pounds. She said to me I can't run. I said then walk! She is now finishing 5K's and has turned her life around. She has realized it is not a temporary fix, it is a lifestyle. It is something you do every day. I am so very proud of her and tell her every time I get a chance.
I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!
With all the saddness that has happened this week, it gives me an opportunity to realize how great life is. You must live like this is your last day on earth. Every day/hour/minute is so special.
Last night I went to our small town's parade with my grandson. I held him more then ever. I am even more focused on making my life better and longer. I have committed to healthly choices and making the best of what I have to work with!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a healthy New Year!
For those of you who are reading my blog, please send me feedback on what you think or would like to see differently, besides spell check. I appreciate your suggestions.
One of my favorite sayings "Excuses are Endless". When I was trying to come up with a name for my fitness studio, a few people told me to call it "Excuses are Endless", which shows you how often I use that line.
Well, I have now begun to say that to myself. With the holidays, my grandson's surgery, having allergies, etc., I have been slacking. So back to the grind. I woke up at 5:00 am today to do my strength training. Tomorrow is cardio!
A good balance is 2 days strength, one day rest in between, and at least 3 days cardio.
I must say, I have more energy today and my mood is a little better! Try it, I know it will make a difference in your life!
