I am a Personal Trainer certified through the National Academy of Sports Fitness (N.A.S.M.). If you would like more information about the program, or are interested in becoming a client, please send me an email.

FITNESS TIPS:

Find an activity that you enjoy! You're much more likely to stick with something if you like doing it.

It doesn't have to be "exercise". If you like playing sports, then find a league/team to sign up with. The accountability to others will help you stick with it as well!

Don't be scared to try new things. How do you know you won't like it, if you've never tried it? Step out of your comfort zone!

Don't get stuck in a rut. Mix up your routine. Your muscles will get used to doing the same movements regularly, and you will stop seeing results.

Find a workout buddy. It gives you someone to be accountable to, and it helps break up the monotony. You won't be as likely to miss a workout if you know you're letting someone else down.

Set realistic goals. Accept your fitness level for what it is, and keep in mind that improving it is your main priority.

Move more. Every little bit of activity adds up. Park farther away from the store, walk around the house while on the phone instead of sitting down, and do mini-workouts while watching TV.

Fitness Facts:

34% of adults, 18% of teenagers, and 20% of children aged 6-11 are considered obese.

Adults need at least 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week, as well as strength training that target all major muscle groups on 2 or more days.

Exercise can improve your mood, combat chronic diseases, help manage your weight, boost your energy level, and promote better sleep. And that is only a few of the many benefits that you get from regular exercise!
