New Beginnings

   It was  six years ago, this month, that I began my journey of health. I mustered all the courage I had, asked for a great deal of help, and began the process of weight loss. I began with Pilates twice a week at Action in Motion Pilates and Physical Therapy and slowly added running and weight training. The more confident I became in my physical strength, the more empowered I felt to try new forms of exercise like swimming, hiking, boxing and Barre Method classes.  I joined Weight Watchers in June of 2005 and made some life long friendships (as well as shed 90 pounds). Two years ago I started teaching Pilates and in a few months I will begin the process of studying to become a Personal Trainer. It is my hope that I will be able to give back to others the same gifts that I have been given...health, physical strength, and confidence in myself to accomplish what seems like the impossible. Come join me on this amazing journey towards a healthier new you!

Tip of the Month: January

§      Make your New Years Resolution manageable.  How many people have made a New Year’s Resolution they haven’t kept? Raise your hands; I know I’m not the only one out there. J Why is it that so many goals made with good intentions are not met? I think that for most people, they make their resolutions (especially those related to personal health and fitness) difficult to attain. They don’t make them manageable, and they don’t lay the correct groundwork to help them succeed. Here’s your first tip of the year: Make your Resolution for better health do-able. Start with a small goal and build upon that. Your goal could be anything from exercising 3 days a week consistently for a month to simply finding a form of exercise that you like (or at the very least can tolerate enough to do consistently). Once you become comfortable with that task, raise your goal to the next level. If you were exercising 3 days a week for 30 minutes each day, add a fourth day. The key is to build consistency. Put one foot in front of the other, and when your motivation begins to disappear, ask for help from a friend who will not let you quit, but will keep you motivated to accomplish your goal.
