*Fitness *Health *Opportunity*
I have been in the Healthcare field for 25 years
as a Radiologic Technologist. I have been in the
entertainment field for 40 years as a musician.
I have come to a realization at this point in
my life. I have skills and a talent for MOTIVATION.
I have come to an understanding at this point
in my life. You are never too old, too young,
too healthy or too out of shape to eat well and
exercise.
Just
over four years ago at age 53, I had a heart attack.
While recuperating I was able to assess my life
and life-style. In retrospect I wasn't unhealthy
or out of shape compared to the AVERAGE person.
During my recovery I got involved with a great
cardiac rehabilitation center at the local hospital.
After the insurance approved rehabilitation period
expired I took the next step and joined the local
YMCA. I had quit smoking cigarettes, which was
a great stride for a long-time smoker and it was
a step in the right direction. I paid more attention
to what I ate. For months and months I puttered
through the facility, waiting on lines for machines
and "working out" like most other members of the
gym, however it didn't seem I was achieving desired
results.
Until
it clicked. Like most people who know they need
to get in "better" shape, I had been in denial.
I recognized that and focused my energy. I started
to apply a cohesive exercise and eating program.
In 3 short months I changed my whole life. I lost
more than 40 pounds from my "pre-heart attack"
weight, as well as many inches. I was “at the
right place at the right time” both physically
and mentally. I applied sensible, healthy eating
with a sensible, healthy exercise program. I incorporated
simple cardiovascular training with strength training
and worked my way into a better lifestyle in the
comfort of my own home. I accomplished more in
3 short months of focused application than I had
in nearly the 2 years prior. I have accomplished
things that I would have never dreamed possible
even 20 years ago. I recently completed an extreme
fitness program, similar to Navy Seal training
that brought me to the peak physical performance
level of my life. This radical change was simply
the result of being receptive to what my body
really needed, what my system required- a simple,
balanced lifestyle. No charts or graphs, no machines,
no lines, no pills, no fasts, no special diets,
no excuses.
Since
so many people have asked me "how did you do it?”
and so many people have asked my advice or my
opinion, it encouraged me to take the next step.
Certified Personal Trainer. I can pass on what
I have learned to people that are receptive and
willing to change their lives, right now.
I
hope I have your attention. Motivation is a driving
force in life that allows us to attain our goals.
Some people are fortunately self-motivated. For
others, having someone to guide and help them
become accountable to their commitments is key
to their success. I want to make you accountable
for your commitment to change your current level
of fitness. I want to support you when you need
it and encourage you when you surpass your own
expectations. The time to change things is now.
Take the first step. I have had many years of
experience working with and for the people of
this community. I have come to integrate my knowledge
of healthcare with my passion as an entertainer
in combination with my enthusiasm and understanding
for good health and fitness.
My
personal motivation has been the desire and need
to spend many more years with my wife and 8 year-old
daughter. You have your own reasons, your own
motivation for improving your muscle tone, slimming
your waist, increasing your life expectancy or
improving the overall quality of your life. You
can change things now if you are ready to make
the commitment. I can help you. Someone recently
asked me if I was on a "DIET", I answered simply,
"No, I am enjoying a LIFE-STYLE".
I
invite you to join me on this journey to a new,
healthier and better life-style.
