Trying something new is scary. In scary times, all the more reason to do so. And if I can do it, so can you! I’ve never surfed before. It is intimidating. The waves are a lot larger than they look on shore. And I am not very good yet. But it is also thrilling. And each time I conquer a part of it, my fear shrinks a little bit. ... For many of my clients exercise is scary. It has been a long time since they have been active. They are older. They don’t want to overdo. Gyms full of very fit people intimidate them. Having a personal trainer is one of the best investments you can make in your health.With me standing (virtually) next to you, it is going to be easier than you ever imagined.

I am not ignoring all the scary things happening now. But I do want to emphasize that inactivity makes everything worse. It hurts your immune system. It contributes to other underlying issues that make you more vulnerable. It makes you feel worse about your body, and in doing so, can contribute to depression. If there was ever a time to improve your wellbeing, this is it. Moving forward with a plan to increase your fitness is a positive act that you can do now. You’ll feel b...etter. And improving your health and fitness will make you safer and happier. It is a small thing. It will have a big impact. PM me for a free conversation to see if having a personal trainer would help you conquer inactivity. #fitnessjourney2020 #fitnessmotivationquotes #fitnesscoach #personaltrainer #healthandfitnessjourney #fitathome #strongmindsstrongbodies #onlinefitnesscoach #fitnessover50 #healthandfitness #virtualfitness #virtualfitnesscoach

We live in a time of fear and anxiety. But activity can be an antidote to anxiety. Rather than thinking of exercise as something you MUST do, think of it as a remedy to stress. Just a walk be it on the beach or down your lane can provide relief. During the activity you choose, allow yourself to exist in the moment. While you walk or ride bikes or golf, let your eyes see what is in front of them. Feel the warmth of the sun. Notice little things the plants or the rocks. A...dmire the beauty you see. Watch the ripples on the water and the way the patterns change as the sun shines on it. PM me for a free consultation to see if having a personal trainer provide weekly inspiration would help you persist in your fitness journey. #fitnessjourney2020 #fitnessmotivationquotes #fitnesscoach #personaltrainer #healthandfitnessjourney #fitathome #strongmindsstrongbodies #onlinefitnesscoach #fitnessover50 #healthandfitness #virtualfitness #virtualfitnesscoach

Many of us were raised to try to make progress as quickly as we can. We bring expectations from our 20s to exercise class with a 40-years-older body. So I see many people start a fitness journey by injuring themselves. But to be successful, we need to move forward at a pace that respects who we are and our current fitness level. You will make progress. Without injury. And before you know it, you will be stronger, more flexible, and more balanced. I am a personal fitness coac...h.

Many activities are impossible, dangerous or challenging right now. But fitness doesn’t have to be one of them. Virtual fitness can be just as effective as in-person fitness. What could be more beneficial than looking better and feeling stronger while you improve your health. And once we are on the other side of this, we will continue in person.
