My commitment to you and to myself

      As you may know, if you're a client of mine, I do my best to encourage and inspire you to do something active everyday. I don't always follow my own advice, so in the desire to live with integrity, I have committed myself to do something active everyday. And as much as I love what I do for you as your trainer, and am passionate about it for you, I don't always feel the same about creating workouts for myself.  Motivating myself to stay active or getting some sort of activity or workout in is always much more challenging.

      I get more from doing workouts along side you during my 360 classes or the times when you allow me to join you in your workouts. So, my solution has been to do short, fast paced and high intensity workouts that will make me sweat and burn and that are over quick. Other options are going for a long walk or hitting the climbing gym for an hour or so, and of course joining you for the 360 workouts. I'm also adding in to my weeks one or two corrective exercise sessions to help keep my body in good working order.

      Here are a few examples of what I've been doing to get in my 'something everyday'. I've been doing this, not only to stay healthy, strong and feeling good, but to help to show you that even something done in a short amount of time is much better than nothing and that it really all does count and matter. We'll always have days where we feel that rest is best or days that we're sick, but I'd venture to say that on most days we are capable of giving at least 15 minutes to moving our bodies, getting our muscles to burn and having a little sweat-fest. 

      In addition to this commitment that I've made to myself, the commitment that I make to you everyday is to continue to support and guide you to your better health. I will do this with honesty and integrity. I make no effort to hide the fact that I am flawed. I have good days and I have bad days, sometimes it's a challenge for me to come out of a bad mood or a bad day but with that I'd rather be honest and open than hide or pretend that that is not a part of who I am. I believe that those of you who have gotten to know me, know this about me and I'm very grateful that you allow me to be me. My honest self, even when training, is loud and blunt, not always too talkative. But, get me going about 'Game of Thrones', and you may not get me to shut up. I often get much more excited about your fitness gains and successes than you do, and I'm totally OK with that. 

     

       I hope that I can keep on challenging you and inspiring you to get into something active everyday, with no excuses. Good day, bad day, long or busy day, make some time just for you and I promise you will feel better in the long run for it. I have to admit that though I've been doing this only for a short time, I'm already feeling much more motivated. I even was up early the other day, and instead of taking my sweet time with my morning coffee and breakfast, I went to a friend's studio and did one of her awesome bootcamp workouts. And, it was great.

      So, come with me and stay active! We'll feel great, we'll look great and we'll know that nothing can stop us!
