Active Training & Therapy

Hi Everyone! I hope your New Year has been great so far! Those of you who have made the resolution to lead a healthier lifestyle-Congratulations! I wish you every success. This can be one of most challenging resolutions because it may require a big lifestyle change. One step that is often missed can be your downfall. That step is making goals! The desire to make a change isn't enough. You need to have a plan of action. How will you know if you achieved your goal if you never made a goal to begin with? Set goals so you can measure your success. It is extremely important to know you are making changes no matter how big or small. This gives us a sense of accomplishment and the drive to continue!
Congratulations in advance on all your future success!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
Now that you have made it past the 1st two weeks of the year, who is still holding to their New Year's Resolution to get in shape? For those of you who are tired and sore-DON'T STOP! Those initial 14 days are usually the hardest. You will start to feel an increase in energy soon! From my experience it takes at least a month to start forming a habit. Make exercise a habit for you. Remember there was a reason you set the goal to get into better shape. Now you just have to put in the hard work. You will see a difference, it just takes time.
I write this post thinking of my client tonight. This person made the time to workout regardless of an extremely hectic schedule. My clients might show up tired or frustrated at times but, they know by the end of the workout they'll be SMILING because of the sense of accomplishment they feel. That and the endorphin rush working out gives you!
​Good Luck & Congratulations on your Accomplishments In Advance!!!

How can you de-stress without going to the gym or getting a massage??? A FULL BODY STRETCH! As your muscles lengthen and become balanced your body and mind will relax. Good luck!

GET YOUR VITAMIN D NATURALLY!
Vitamin D is essential to our bodies. Many times people do not have enough in their system so they have to take supplements. However, sunlight is another way for your body to acquire it. So an extremely easy way, that is great for your over health as well-is go for a walk outside! This can help motivate you to get the dog, if you have one, some exercise as well :)

Back Pain- Ouch!
Yesterday I was on my feet for about 10 hours. By the end of the night my lower back was killing me. As soon as I got home I did the Hip Flexor Stretch and the amount of relief was AMAZING!
