Bio
I began truly enjoying my workouts when I first went to college in Georgia. While in college, I studied exercise and health sciences with a concentration in health promotion. In class, I had the privilege of hearing fact after fact of how exercise and nutrition can help you in every day life. The facts of health motivated me and propelled me to stay active. I could no longer let a day go by without activity. I could not let myself become sedentary, even for one day, after learning that the physical and mental impact can be more life –threatening than any other modality.
This life changing knowledge was not the only reason I began to love my workouts and look forward to them. The enjoyment and passion also came from the type of exercise and the person who guided me through those workouts. That person was Dr. Wayne Van Horne. Dr. Van Horne instructs Koshiski Sakagawa Shorinji-Ryu Karate Do at my college campus with passion and complete dedication. I had no choice but to absorb this passion and dedication. He changed my life.
I realized that I can change my body to look better, feel better, and react better. I also experienced my mind working better, with more clarity and a greater ability to focus. This increase in blood flow to my brain certainly reflected in my grades, which confirmed that exercise and nutrition increase the brain’s the ability to learn. The exponential benefits of exercise enabled me to stay committed to a progressive fitness program that is still evolving.
Upon completion of college I moved back to Connecticut to start my internship at a nutrition center for a large inner-city school system. I was shocked that this was called a nutrition center since the food offered possessed little nutrition. No fresh fruits or vegetables were offered due to the ease of storing frozen or canned produce. The meals did not look appetizing, so I didn’t even opt to eat a free lunch! This could easily explain why children eat french fries and soda or a pre-packaged cup cake in lieu of a healthy balanced lunch. That’s unfortunately what I ate for the majority of my high school career and I fear I’m not alone. These eating habits might also explain the stomach pain I experienced daily for most of my life.
I constantly spoke with the nutritionist that developed the menus in hopes of spurring change. She agreed that we needed to include fresh produce and more appetizing meals in the menu, but unfortunately this was not accomplished during the duration of my internship. However, I have witnessed schools that have increased the nutritional quality of the food served and there was a direct correlation with increased productivity, focus, and overall test scores.
After my internship, I started my first job out of college with high expectations. I worked with a large company that outfits fitness centers in the corporate work place. I was able to experience two large, multimillion dollar companies named UBS Warburg and Ford. During this time, I witnessed many different teaching and motivational styles of fitness. Instructor techniques varied when motivating a bodybuilder versus someone that has over 30% body fat. I learned quickly and my training as a great motivator began. I found myself teaching unorthodox fitness routines and encouraging my clients to do more than working out in the gym. My clients would constantly speak with excitement regarding the wholesome foods they had been eating. I recently spoke with one of my clients from a community center where I worked after my experience with corporate fitness. She told me that she still hears my voice pushing her to capability. She still practices many exercises that I had taught her in addition to her current workouts with a personal trainer.
When I worked at a local community center in Connecticut, I found that it was a great balance to my past career experience. It was an opposing setting from the previous job I had in the corporate world. I taught many fitness classes and trained people from ages of 8 to 83. I began molding my own fitness techniques though research and experience. I constantly worked to refine my fitness program to mold to any goal, body type, age or gender. Regardless of conditioning or time schedule, I was determined to create a fitness program that would make anyone and everyone healthier. I can now guarantee this claim to better health for anyone and this is why I created this website. Welcome to the website that will change your life; these theories are guaranteed to make YOU healthier regardless of your current health.
