Rock Star results!

November 28, 2012

For over 40 years I was told by several different health professional that my limited use of my shoulder was the way it was to be for me. I fell and hurt my shoulder when I was 18 years old.

After several ultra-sounds, X-Rays, physio, cortisone shots, Intramuscular Stimulation , I had signed up for various fitness programs to help rehab my shoulder. After exhausting all possibility I had been told to simply deal with it, and just to accept the limited range of motion in my shoulder as this was how it was going to be. Clearly frustrated and defeated I toke a long hiatus from exercise.

This past year my wife suggested I go see Sandra at Muscle Lines personal training, as Sandra had helped many people we know.

After signing up with Sandra she worked out a customized weight training program for my special needs , over a short period of time I was starting to build muscle and stability around my injured shoulder as well as losing body fat.

I can honestly say that I now have full range of motion in my shoulder! On top of that I have lost 15 lbs and 15 inches!! Mentally I was back in the game. I started running again and no longer feel defeated and most important, I am enjoy exercise once again.

I was recently due for a full physical for life insurance two weeks ago. My blood pressure was 118 over 78 and my pulse is 58 clearly fit and healthy!!!

Thank you Sandra

CHANGING OLD PATTERNS

Changing old patterns is the first step to succeeding with your goals.

How do we look at fitness and wellness?

Where does is it on your priority list?

In order to change anything in life you need to give it your all!

Make your health and wellness a priority. Many people find they put there own needs on hold to take care of others. But in essence you are taking your own health for granted, until it is not there. My question for you is why wait to possibly feel un well or even get sick to start taking care of your yourself.

Exercising and eating well now may save you hours even years of sick time in the future and also have more energy for the rest of your life and commitments. Regular physical activity has many benefits including better health and greater vitality.

How do we look at fitness and wellness? All too often, people think of exercise as a punishment or painful experience, time consuming and obligatory. If this is how you truly feel, you are setting yourself up for failure.

You could instead think of it as a chance to unwind from a stressful day, a little time all to yourself and a way to improve your quality of life. Take some time and truly ask yourself what your thoughts around fitness and wellness really are. You may need to change the way you are thinking before you move on to even setting your first fitness and wellness goal. This may be what has kept you from succeeding in the past.

Look at some of the reasons why you may have not succeeded in the past when you tried to set other fitness goals.

How long did the routine last?

What happened to get in your way?

Where was fitness and wellness on your priority list?

Were your goals realistic?

Did you feel like a failure?

In order to make changes we must spend some time first clearing out old thought patterns and beginning with new positive plans for the health we deserve to have.

Remember this is your body and life you are in control of all your choices.

Stay focused stay “Lean for Life”
