Philosophy of fitness and wellness : Anyone can achieve a healthy lifestyle.  It takes time and dedication to improve and maintain your physical fitness.  What you eat and how you train will dictate what kind of results you see. The hardest part is starting, but once you get into a routine of working out and eating healthy foods, you will notice the benefits of reduced stress, improved physical and mental health, and enhanced overall health.  Set a goal and start working to accomplish that goal.  Don't be afraid to seek help or ask questions along the way.  “Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.” ~ Thomas Jefferson.

Philosophy on fitness and wellness:  As my former coach repeatedly reminded me, "fitness is 70% mental and only 30% physical," I have found that this is absolutely true.  Though I was never the top athlete on my team in high school, it was the determination and consistency that launched me towards reaching my own goals today.  I love sharing with people what I have been taught about how the body works together as an integrated system to create movement.  When a physical problem arises, the source is not always obvious, and identifying the issue in order to rectify it is both exciting and rewarding.  Fitness and wellness is an everyday choice.  Change does happen, only when every area of life (fitness, wellness, sleep, nutrition) is improved upon.  Implementing small changes in moderation and sticking with those good changes produces positive permanent results.
