My Training Philosophy:
As a trainer, I specialize in weight loss and getting to the root of the cause. The weight is a symptom of something else. With me, it's not just exercise; yes, I'm a trainer, but that's not what defines me. My goal? It's healing you from within and allowing the body to dictate the pace and the movements and knowing when it is okay to push a little.
Health is a balancing act of four major elements.
All four of the elements effect the other.
>Exercise - cardiovascular, strength training, balance, agility, endurance, and flexibility are all equally important. Being strong in one area will not serve you the way strength in all areas will. Using a variety of ways to hone these elements is the fun part and why my job is fun. Plyometrics, body weight / calisthenics, TRX or bands, lifting weight, functional movements, and HIIT are all great tools and they can all be used each and every session.
>Nutrition - the true cornerstone to any healthy lifestyle and especially weight loss. Food has to be re-defined in your life. It should become the means to nurture, protect, vitalize and cure the real you. Food comes from the earth and isn't purchased out of a container or plastic bag in the grocery store. Our food pyramid has caused sickness and dire metabolic disorders. It's time for a change. If you would like to truly be well, it begins here.
>Sleep - underestimate the importance of this piece of the pie and you will suffer physically, emotionally and mentally. Not only is it essential for the other three elements, but it is essential for the body to revitalize and repair itself. Make this the priority that it should be and you will begin to heal.
>Stress - eats our body from the inside out. When I see too much stress, I see inflammation taking over. When the body is putting out a fire constantly, it has zero energy left over for the important things. Not only will your exercise suffer because your energy is wasted elsewhere, you will make food decisions that are not healthy for you and your sleep will suffer.
Interconnected. Equally Essential. Balance is Health.
