PERSONAL TRAINER BIO
The love for training began in high school and has carried on until this day. After a 5 year sidetrack of owning and operating a web development / graphic design company, the 15+ years spent staying in shape and maintaining health and fitness had overtaken the desire to do anything else. I'm proud of the real-world experience I've received in advertising / promotion and I'm proud of the work we accomplished in design, but fitness and nutrition is a passion that I couldn't side-step any longer.
A rough year in 2004 left me out of shape, overweight, lethargic and more sick than I ever had been.
My first commitment to myself was to overcome this problem at the onset of 2005 once things evened out a bit. No, this wasn't a "New Year's Resolution" - a resolution to be broken like so many that we make. It was a commitment to a permanent lifestyle change that brought about a watershed event in my life. A watershed event that had far reaching consequences I could never have forseen. 23 lbs lost, boundless energy and a new wardrobe (or at least an old one that I could properly fit into again) caused a 180o turn in my life and revealed a new direction in which I was to steer.
The strengthening and rehabilitation of core muscles and core strength has allowed me to perform exercises I never again thought I'd be able to perform. Many years ago, some incorrect squats left me with a bout of chronic lower back pain that had persisted until recent memory. I stand here today as an example of the successes possible in overcoming health problems such as this. I'm proud to say that I have "climbed the mountain" to FIGHT BACK for lower back (and consequently total body) health. I will not go quietly away into the night and allow my life and health to devolve to nothing more than pain management and overmedication to which our society has sunk these days. I now carry the knowledge needed to help you do the same. Are you in a vicious cycle of pain management, poor nutrition, back pain and / or poor health? It CAN be overcome. I am living proof.
When my health was brought into line, every other area of my life began to fall into place as well - personal, professional, recreational, etc.
My health is a precious gift. My health is a blessing. My health is the BEST blessing. My health, is my life. Impacting YOUR health, is my life. If I were to disregard that then what would I be doing to protect that blessing? Not much.
How is your health? Whatever state it is in, PROTECT IT! Fight for it. Believe in it. Hope through it.
Do you want to change it? Change begins with choice. Change your mind, change your body. Change is good.
These sayings are familiar to many of us. There is not any portion of this planet Earth that does not undergo change. Its somewhat arrogant that we decide that we have it all figured out and that we can be the one entity on the planet that doesn't change.
I promise, when your health and fitness is in order, every other area of your life will begin to fall into line.
Join me in transforming the health and wellness of our population one person at a time. Lets begin today. You're not promised a tomorrow.
HAVE A STRONG DAY.
