TRAINER TUESDAYS
Hey All, thanks for checking in! Welcome back to our weekly
post on Trainer Tuesdays. Make sure to check back to our blog every Tuesday
evening to learn the expertise of our great staff. Aside
from being fantastic exercise coaches, they are also extremely knowledgeable in
many aspects of health and fitness; so, it's time that you get to know them a
little better! Each week, we will post a frequently asked, or sometimes just a
fun fitness related question followed by the answers of each of the trainers at
Fitness Together Brecksville.
Sum up your fitness philosophy in three words:
I will sum my fitness philosophy
in three words. Motivate- I will find what makes you tick--
what makes you spark that fire and gives you incentive to work hard. Educate- I will instruct you
on the proper form during exercise and give you educated advice to achieve your
goals. Inspire you to dream big… reach down inside and
realize your true potential to reach your personal fitness goal or goals set
for yourself.
If I had to sum up my fitness philosophy in three words,
they would have to be Mind, Body and Soul. Fitness incorporates all three of
these individual aspects to reach an ultimate goal. If even one of these three
components is missing, your efforts might fall short.
Intensity, intensity, intensity!
When I think of fitness, I think of total wellness. The
three words that come to mind when accomplishing this feat are exercise,
nutrition and meditation. The exercise portion encompasses all
aspects of physical activity that we have control over. This includes but is
not limited to resistance training, cardio training, fllexibility, and even
making sure to get the right amount of rest in order for your body to recover.
The nutrition portion is also where we have control over what we put into our
bodies. One of our Nutrition Together slogans is “Nothing Tastes as Good as
Healthy Feels”, and I ask you to just think about that slogan for a bit. Our
body requires certain nutrients on a daily basis in order to function properly
and lower your risk of creating diseases and other conditions. The meditation
portion is important to take care of your mind. We all get caught up in the
daily stresses of living life on life’s terms. I find that it is always
critical to set aside some quiet time to just relax, listen and try to find
some serenity. Often times, weather permitting, I like to accomplish this
outdoors in a park or by water where I can feel a connection with nature. Other
times, I listen to an audio from someone like Dr. Wayne Dyer or find a YoutubeVideo that helps. It becomes much easier to manage my priorities without
feeling overwhelmed when I remember to practice meditation on a regular basis.
