2/1/2019 8 things to remember when going through tough times ** Everything can - and will - change. ** You've overcome challenges before. ** It's a learning experience. ** Not getting what you want can be a blessing. ** Allow yourself to have some fun. ** Being kind to yourself is the best medicine. ** Other people's negativity isn't worth worrying about. ** And there is always, always, always something to be thankful for.
12/4/2018 Helathy holiday tips **Don't skip meals - skipping a meal in the hopes of saving calories prior to a holiday event can often backfire, leading to overeating. Instead, have a small healthy snack prior to the event. **Choose your splurges - scan the buffet or holiday dinner and choose a couple holiday favorites to splurge on, leaving foods you have all year long for a later time. **Think color - create a festive looking plate by adding fruits and vegetables, aiming to fill half the plate with these. **Choose drinks wisely - try to choose calorie-free drinks like seltzer, tea or water. Since alcohol is empty calories, drink in moderation, drinking a glass of water after each alcoholic drink. **Visit the people, not the food - try moving the socializing away from the buffet or appetizer table to prevent mindless snacking. **Eat until you are satisfied, not full - eat slowly and pay attention to when you are satiated. ** Savor seasonal treats - having treats once a year won't make or break your weight; make sure to really taste that treat when you have it. ** Don't feel guilty - if you do overindulge, don't beat yourself. Make sure your next meal is a healthy one and focus on adding exercise into your routine. Happy Holidays!

Training Services

Fitness is much more than just about how you look. It is all about how you feel – healthy, happy, satisfied. I believe in all of the aspects of fitness - health, wellness, nutrition and exercise. My training concepts take all of these elements into play... therefore, each training session is unique depending on how you are feeling that day. My idea is to help you achieve your goals through an individualized program that addresses your specific needs and likes in a fun atmosphere. With my background as a physical therapist assistant, I can provide many modifications to address any specific needs, yet still provide an effective program for you.

Pilates

Pilates is a system of exercises developed by a German man named Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s. Originally designed as a rehabilitative practice on an exercise mat and specialized equipment, Pilates exercises (as they are now known) target the deep muscles of the abdomen and spine to strengthen the body from the inside out in proper alignment. The goal is to achieve a balance of strength and flexibility, a balance of opposing muscle groups and better balance in the body when moving through all of life’s activities.

Muscle Toning

Toning is simply the restoration of muscle and the simultaneous decrease of fat. Every year after the age of 25, the average American gains one pound of body weight, yet loses one third to one half pound of muscle. Consequently, our resting metabolism decreases approximately one half of a percent every year. Proper exercise and sound eating habits can reverse this process.
