My Fitness Journey - Never Too Late

A Note of Inspiration

Today, I want to share my story: a story about overcoming self-doubt, embracing movement, and proving that it's truly never too late to start your fitness journey, or any journey for that matter.

 

My No-Fitness Background

Believe it or not, I wasn't always the fitness enthusiast I am today. In fact, gym class was my least favorite subject in school. Running felt like torture, and let's not even mention sit-ups! I remember dragging my feet to class and feeling discouraged.

Fast forward to my 40s, and things hadn't changed much. Then, a friend invited me on a Wednesday morning run. I was hesitant – 5 kilometers seemed like an impossible feat! After each run, my hips were hurting – the kind of pain no one wants to feel.

One day at the gym, I saw a sign for "leg day" classes. Perfect, I thought! This was the turning point. For the first time, I learned proper form – how to run correctly, how to avoid injuries, and how to truly engage my muscles and use gravity to my advantage for movement. That is, my friends, what I will be teaching you in the upcoming Proper Posture Course.

Within three months, I ran my first half marathon, and six months later, I ran a full marathon!

This experience taught me two crucial lessons:

• First, it's never too late to start taking care of your body.
• Second, proper form is essential.

 

How I Became a Fitness Trainer

You might wonder how I, a health coach in my 40s, transitioned into becoming a fitness trainer. Well, it all began with a spontaneous decision to offer my services at a local gym. While I'd always been curious about fitness training, it was this unexpected opportunity that pushed me to take the leap. Two months later, I was officially certified.

But becoming a fitness trainer was just the beginning. I quickly realized a gap in the fitness industry: countless individuals struggling with improper form, injuries, and a lack of motivation. I witnessed even experienced gym-goers struggling with basic exercises. This ignited a passion within me to teach people how to move their bodies safely and effectively.

My focus shifted to functional fitness – training the body to perform everyday movements with ease and efficiency. I became certified in corrective exercise to help people address postural imbalances and recover from injuries.

Today, my mission is clear: to empower individuals to move confidently and pain-free. I believe that proper posture, functional movement, and a consistent fitness routine are essential for overall well-being.

 

Fitness for Life

Fitness is a lifelong journey, not a destination. It's about finding joy in movement and making it a sustainable part of your life. I'm not suggesting you become a marathon runner; instead, I'm encouraging you to prioritize consistent activity.

My approach involves incorporating movement throughout my day, including short bursts of exercise every hour. I complement this with three weekly resistance training sessions focused on proper form, posture, and strength building (functional fitness classes). Additionally, I enjoy three weekly walks or runs. Movement has become such a habit that I crave it when I'm inactive. The energy and well-being it brings are truly addictive.

Let's make fitness a lifestyle, not a chore. Let's prioritize intentional movement and build a habit that lasts a lifetime.
