How Can I Help You?
There is so much conflicting fitness and nutrition information out there that it is hard to know what to believe and follow. Being equipped with researched-backed knowledge puts you in control!
I can help you build the confidence to take responsibility for making good, educated decisions to develop a path to better health and wellness.
Our lives often are so busy and demanding that it is difficult to develop and sustain healthy habits. We take time for our families, jobs, and others but rarely for ourselves to set and work on our own goals and wellness. Ironically, improving ourselves benefits all other areas of our lives!
I can help you elevate fitness, nutrition, and general wellness to a higher level of importance in your daily life.
Healthy habits of regular activity, good nutrition, and general wellness result in increased energy, lower stress levels, reduced risk of injury, prevention and reduction of the effects of disease, greater autonomy, and higher self-confidence. Change your mindset and behaviors…change your life!
I can help you learn strategies and establish sustainable habits that empower you to be able to do more and feel your best for a better quality of daily living and a lifetime of active, health and wellness.
How Will We Get There?
Discuss your goals, needs, wants, and dreams...Where do you want to be in your later years? Identify your current habits, limitations, and barriers to regular activity, nutritious eating and general wellness. Provide solutions to overcome your barriers and work on establishing sustainable, healthy habits.
Use an evidence-based, systematic approach to functional aging training that addresses all 6 Domains of Physical Function and builds a strong foundation of stabilization including: flexibility, core strength, and balance. A strong foundation will reduce the risk of injury and provide a stable base of support before adding intensity and load for increases in strength and power.
Use evidence-based tools and methods to help you develop nutrition and wellness habits to which you can adhere long-term while properly fueling your body and preserving the joy of eating.
Empower you with knowledge and education to help you understand the scientific basis for what we do and to establish a foundation for making healthy decisions on your own.
Change your mindset such that you prefer the new habits and look forward to spending time on yourself for the benefit of yourself and others.
Provide ongoing motivation and support as you navigate your journey to a new lifestyle of healthy habits for healthy, functional longevity!
Group Fitness
Whether just starting a fitness journey or continuing to the next level, my group fitness classes are designed for participants of all skill levels to find motivation, inspiration, and even accountability working out with other like-minded participants.
Group Fitness brings together people from all walks of life and all fitness levels with a common goal: to have fun and accountability and to increase their individual fitness levels...together. Whether you want to get to know the other participants or just experience the challenges and fun as a group, working out together helps keep you motivated. With great music and high energy, you will learn or practice skills that will improve both your cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength. All of my classes start with an emphasis on a solid foundation of flexibility, core strength and stability for proper static posture and dynamic movement. I layer on resistance and power exercises using a variety of equipment (e.g., dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance bands, stability balls, heavy bags, TRX, etc.) and techniques based on your fitness level together with continuous movement to challenge the cardiovascular system.
Staying physically fit is one of the best ways to prevent disease, avoid discomfort and pain, and provide energy, endurance, and strength for sports, hobbies, and/or regular daily activities. Many chronic diseases and conditions (such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes) are the leading causes of death and disability yet are preventable by living a healthy, active lifestyle. Additionally, regular physical activity is the strongest predictor of death, disability, and disease as measured by aerobic conditioning and fitness, yet so many people lead sedentary lifestyles. Significant improvements in health status can be achieved with weight loss of as little as 10% of body weight. So keep moving...your family, friends, and older self will thank you for it!
