About Me

A little about me. In my normal life, I am a civil engineer who sits behind a desk everyday. I got married to my wonderful husband in 2006. Since meeting him and our many days of eating out and less working out, my weight started to creep up. In August 2007 my girlfriend wanted to get back in shape after her pregnancy. She talked me into running weekly with her. I agreed, and this began my plan to get my body back in shape. I wanted to add some additional workouts to my run, so I pulled out my old Slim in 6 videos. At the same time, I re-found the online message boards at Beachbody where I meet a lot of great people who kept me committed to my fitness goals. I also found a great coach who was there everyday to help me stay on track! Today, I'm still working to sculpt my body and get it into the best shape ever. As I have progressed through my body's transition, I decided to become an Independent Beachbody Coach to help others reach their fitness goals! I realized it was easier then I thought, and I really believe others can change their lives too!

Importance of Stretching

This is one of the weeks BNN news stories.  I just want to share it with you all.  Why, because I am one of those who hate to stretch!  I kind of find yoga, umm boring!  But, I make myself warm up both before and after a work!

For example, when I run I always stretch!  I have learned the hard way that if I do not spend a few minutes stretching my calves, shins,... I get the worst shin splints!  Literally it takes a few minutes to warm up and stretch out before I run and a little more after, and bang!  No Shin Splints!

Therefore, enjoy the quick video on the importance of stretching.  And, don't turn your DVD player off 5 minutes before the end to skip the stretching.  Don't do it!  You did the whole workout, enjoy those few minutes at the end!
