Personal Motivation to Exercise:
I find motivation through personal accomplishments. I began running in college and gradually increased my distance to running 5K’s , 10k’s and even a sprint triathlon. I found extreme confidence in meeting my goals and the way that my body felt.
How do I Motivate Clients?
My passion for exercise and its obvious benefits often is motivation in itself. I remind my clients that patience is the key, and that they will definitely feel better all-around after working out.
Hobbies/Interests:
Running outdoors, cooking, spending time with my husband, watching movies, and reading.
Philosophy on Health/Wellness:
You can do what you set your mind to. Make realistic goals and approach them one day at time. There will always be setbacks so you cannot lose motivation, jump right back on the wagon and move forward. Make exercise and good nutrition part of your life.
