101 is now here!

Don't you just love the '101' tag? It feels comfortable, y'kno - the first of many steps! So many steps for us to take, so little time. One day you are jumping rope or shooting hoops, next thing years have gone by your knee is feeling the effects of running after the kids in Disney world! Its the knee you kept on jumping on at 17 after you twisted it and since we all are invincible at that age, you didn't ice, compress and rest it. Wish you had now huh?

No big deal, its called life. We all know the drill:

-At the age of 5 our world is a big, new, amazing place where heroes do exist and its Dad.
-15 hits, we know everything and heroes take up all of our time in the form of comic books, singers, actors but hey - your Dad knows nuthin'.
-25.. maybe he knew something after all.
- 35? Wow he was right. If you had only listened.
after it escalates and we become "Dad/Mom".

Our arrogance regarding diet and exercise when our bodies can take it hurts us in the end. Isn't there a saying that goes like this "Youth is wasted on the young" (George Bernard Shaw)? What a correct saying, in oh so many ways!

Well we don't have a clue sometimes what to do, how to do it right once the ripe 'ol age of 25 hits and our bodies begin to resist what once was a no brainer.

So here is what we are going to do.. I am going to take so much information garnished over the years as a Personal Trainer, Indoor Cycling Coach, Fitness Instructor, Life and Sex Coach (egad! It IS INTERTWINED with your fitness and state of mind, don't doubt it for a second my dear friends) and I shall take the info, chew it up and put it up here in a 101 format.

I know from personal experience that it just gets harder, yet so much more rewarding as we move along in life, creating balance and health isn't easy. Ah, when I started I was an arrogant youngster of which we speak teaching high impact aerobics, on a hard floor no support and sporting ... wait for it....this is good.... leggings. Yes! Leggings! Ooops.. I think I just aged myself a bit. Please know this; us 'oldies' know what we are talking about, we lived through things, learned and hey - if we can reach out and help we want to!

No problem, we can do this. Together.

Throw the questions at me. Life? Relationship? Diet? Exercise? Parenting? Hit me up, I got a 101 for you right here.

Do I know everything? Yes I do!!
