Exercise has not always been a permanent part of my life. In fact, growing up, I was uncoordinated and felt a bit awkward in my own body. I grew very fast so I had a hard time trying to figure out how to move my rapidly growing appendages with grace and ease. I remember like it was yesterday the disappointment on not making the 8th grade softball team. I was very lucky genetically that weight management was not an issue, so the impact of my withdrawal from sports was not immediately visible while I was young. I loved the idea of being active so I studied human anatomy and exercise and became educated in the value of exercise but I did not apply it specifically to my own life.

As I became an adult, I started to deal with the consequences of “lack of purpose driven exercise”. I found myself gaining weight and my family history of high cholesterol was starting to plague me. I was active in spurts and would go through phases where I would commit to a routine and then become disenchanted with the process and quit. How many of you find this to be a similar story? Have you seen results?

The turning point for me was when I hired a personal trainer, someone who understood what I was going through and was willing to tutor me and guide me to put my knowledge into practical application. I invested quite a bit into this person and found myself looking forward to each session rather than dreading them. I found that being accountable was important when my old habits of finding excuses NOT to exercise starting rolling through my head. The changes began first in my thought processes once I met these old behaviors dead on, then with consistency and commitment I started seeing amazing changes in my energy levels and in my body. The rest is history; I fell in love with exercise  and the pleasure of feeling fit and ready to meet each day. I quickly became a Certified Personal Trainer and found myself with a successful business due to the fact that as a mother of three I had worked to overcome many common obstacles that are faced in today’s society.

My passion for exercise has helped many men, women and children over the last 15 years. For all of YOU who are looking to find a starting point, reach out to a professional. Exercise and the value of being fit will be an unattainable goal without consistency and a true commitment to your total wellness.
