Oh 2012 how I already love you! In case you haven’t heard 2012 is my best year yet. Why? Because I decided it would be! And you can do the same… right freaking now! Don’t wait to make 2012 your happiest, healthiest, and harmonious year yet!
I would LOVE to have you come work out with me! Visit our Workouts Page for information about my Body Inspired Boot Camps in Los Angeles. If you live outside of southern California you can follow my blog and check out my workout videos to learn new exercises and get inspired to make this the summer you get in the best shape of your life!
A little bit about me…
I haven’t always been super-fit. What?! Seriously… My friend, Holly, used to drag me to the gym and I’d say, “This is hard. This isn’t fun!” I’d spend two minutes on the treadmill, then sit right down in front of it and read a magazine while she worked out. My goal was actually to be as disrespectful to the gym as possible. I’d look at the equipment and think, “How can I use it in a way that nobody here has?”
I found a lot of freedom and creativity in that. That’s when it clicked: Wow, you get to do this any way you want. Suddenly, working out became really fun for me. I realized I can make it however I want to make it. And I started to feel strong.
There is nothing that will change your life faster than feeling physically strong.
You start making better choices, you stand for your life, you do things out of recognizing your integrity and your strengths.
Once you figure out what’s fun and engaging for you, you suddenly see all these possibilities.
And that’s super-exciting to me. You shift inside, you make better choices and your outsides start to change. It really is that simple. I’ve seen it over and over.
When I made the mind/body connection, I thought, “How come everybody’s not talking about this?” That’s when I knew this is what I’m supposed to do, I can de-mystify working out and losing weight. And so I founded Body Inspired Fitness. As much as I hear from clients that I’ve inspired them, they’re the ones who continually blow me away. To see someone work past where they thought they could or to suddenly have this energy and spark that wasn’t there when they started – that’s why I have the best job in the world.
This picture was taken in April in Venice Beach California. I was standing on top of a graffiti wall looking at the Pacific Ocean. I worked really hard to be able to wear neon yellow ripped running tights for this shoot. There was definitely extra running that week!
I want to thank Puma for hooking me up with that super cute pink jacket and sneakers that were not even in stores yet!
Yes. This is my superhero stance :)
