I started working in Health Clubs and worked my way up the ladder in managment but kept getting farther and farther from the part I enjoyed.  So I left the managment side of the business and became a strength coach. I really enjoyed working one on one as well as small group personal training but then left that full time to be at home with the kids.  I have never left fitness all together because quite frankly I think I would lose my mind.  It is more than a workout for me. It is therapy. I find I am much more patient with my children and husband when I have had my time to sweat!

 

Now with all that being said, weight management took me a little longer to master and I used the term loosely.  I am like anyone else, if I eat (or drink) too much of the bad stuff, I can still gain weight despite a very active lifestyle.  The good, the bad and ugly.  The good news is you can do something about it.  The bad news is that it is work. It is work for most of us...and the ugly news is it is even more work the older we get but it can be done.
