I'm just not a fitness nut

Excuses, reasons, statements, explanations of why you can not workout, or why you can not commit to purchasing that training you know you desperatley need to make it to your fitness goal! I have heard them all!! But most of them boil down to one big assumption: Meagan it's easy for you to workout because your a fitness nut and you love it! For me it's just not something I am passionate about.

While you may never be passionate, in the same crazy way I am, about putting your body through a grueling workout and reaping the personal rewards of running around a track 2 tenths of a second faster than you did the last time; I assure you that given the chance to enjoy the positive endorphines, increased energy, increased sleep quality, increase self confidence and time away from your busy life to focus just on you, you will come to understand the many benefits a fitnesss lifestyle can offer your busy life. As women we tend over support others and fail to take care of ourselves. While, in theory, this seems like a positive quality we are forgetting a keypoint, we are best equipped to help others when we are happy and healthy ourselves.

Think about it this way, if you have a positive self image of yourselve and you are taking 3-4 hours a week to do something to improve your own health, fitness and energy levels, how much happier, easier to get a long with and more productive will you be in the time you do have to help others? A LOT! So this is not a reason or an excuse not to work out, but rather just another reason why should be doing it!! And remember personal training is just that, personal, you may have no desire to sweat until you feel like you are gonna die, or to prove to the world that you can indeed do 10 push ups from your toes. That's okay! If you have a good trainer they will work within your comfort zone, and give you the push your looking for. That's right it's ALL about you!

The Beginings of Fitness Blog

Life is a journey, it is beautiful journey full of both sunshine and rain. Sometimes the sunshine is so bright we are overwhelmed with joy, and sometimes the clouds are so dark we feel imobilized by sadness and fear.  While I have been so very blessed in my life to have a wonderful family and the most loyal, loving freinds I have had a few pretty rainy seasons in life. These rainy seasons have taught me several things; they have taught to me to always be proud of myself, to cling closely to my fitness lifestyle as the benefits will always keep you going and that no matter what anyone says being a women in Canada today is hard stuff!! You are constantly challenged to be a women with a successful career, a perfect home, a magazine style body, a wonderful sense of human, unending patience, and continual smile. Indeed many women today find themselves consumed by trying to be the perfect stay at home style Mother and house wife while balancing a full time job!! This leave little to know time for these wonderful women to celebrate themselves, take care of themselves and rejuniate their mind body and spirt, so that they can do each of these wonderful tasks with the enthusiasm, love and joy they truly deserve.

Throughout my many successes and failures in life I have learnt a few very important lessons, all of which have inspired me as a personal trainer, and women. So I have begun a fitness blog to share workout ideas, nutritional advice and support to women, in hopes to open the opportunity to these women to enjoy the many benefits of a fitness lifestyle integrated into the busy and demanding lives they lead today.

So stay tuned for many great posts that will discuss fitness, health and the way in which we as women can use these tools to empower us throughout life.
