Where have I been the last six weeks?

It’s the busiest time of of the year for those of us in the fitness industry. All those new years resolutions we’re helping to keep, which I love doing it for my clients.

This year I have a varied group of new clientele, men, women, a young woman, those who want to lose weight, those who need to reduce their cholesterol, a woman who is going on vacation in the Spring and wants to be in better shape for it. So I’ve really enjoyed the challenges of of the varied group.

I also began volunteering at the State Prison for Women. It’s certainly been an experience of a different sort for me. The women are happy to see me come in, and are really trying to work hard with me. I started with a large group of 12, but I’ve lost some, so I’m trying to make the class from easy to moderately difficult so all can stay involved. I have them do a lot of squats - all types: regular, wide stance, squat jumps, squat and kick, squat and slide, etc. Plus the “old fashioned” type of aerobic class exercises. I’m enjoying doing the exercises with them, especially since I’m not finding much time to dedicate to my own workouts.

I’ve also spent a whole ‘lot of time shoveling snow, off the ground and off the roof! That’s a great shoulder workout - the roof rake is 12 feet long, so the law of levers really comes into play when I lift it up to the roof. I don’t know for sure how much the total snow fall has been so far, but on December 31st we already had 44 inches fall. Since then, we’ve had six more storms I think amounting to another 18 to 20 inches.

Well that’s it for now, I plan on getting back here soon. I’m still just as busy with clients, but I’m getting more organized and getting more accomplished.
