For the past decade I've worked in Health and Wellness fields helping people make educated decisions in the vitamins, supplements and pieces of fitness equipment they choose in making changes towards improving theirs and their family's health and fitness levels. I enjoy being a resource for my friends, family and clients both inside and out of work, routinely getting stopped in the grocery store or somewhere else while out running errands and asked if I could answer a few questions they had or to give some feedback or tips on some ideas or problems they were encountering. When working with anyone I go over their health and exercise history, as well as find out what their goals and expectations are, what they would like to improve physically or lifestyle / habit wise or which they feel might be a problem area holding them back somehow. I can teach people to improvise through using their environment / surroundings and imagination with things found mostly around the house with minimal equipment in establishing a baseline level of fitness, or all the way up to a fully equipped 24+ station home or commercial gym if that is what's available to work with. I can also help in guiding someone towards making healthier food choices when dining out and when cooking at home. Over the years I've worked consulting with people trying to meet a tremendous array of different goals; Including women and men, both the young and old, those trying to lose weight, gain strength, tone and improve mobility or function, busy high school and college students looking to get a better handle on their health & fitness, as well as those who have retired or whose children have gone off to school and finally have the time to do something for themselves for a change. Learning proper form especially in some of the more complicated movements along with the importance of function, balance, moderation, planning and periodization is critically important for anyone's immediate and continued long term success in reaching their Health and Fitness goals, as well as learning to listen to their bodies' own subtle cues. With anyone I believe in starting out by making small steady changes in diet, exercise and behavioral routines that build upon one another. As someone who has lost and kept off 150lbs+ for over a decade, I know where many are coming from. We all fall down from time to time but it's the getting back up that builds character and proves ones' mettle against the many adversities in life. Learning to never give up, digging deep within oneself, then refocusing on the promises and goals that you silently made to yourself and finding the strength to carry on against all odds is what it takes to succeed. Eventually in time by building this way step by step, brick by brick, you'll look back one day and realize you have achieved something you once never would've imagined possible back when you first started. And I'd love to be a part of the team which helps guide you on your journey of achieving greater health and fitness. Excelsior!
