Achieve Fitness Gym

Achieve Fitness Gym Former site for Achieve Fitness Gym. . Bonnie has retired, but at age 70 !!!! is going strong. You can contact me though Facebook. A thin obese person! Sickly.

Bonnie Sprinkle AFAA Certified Personal Trainer since 1992, NABF(North American Bodybuilding Federation) Certified since 1999. Bonnie retired & closed the gym September 1, 2013. This page is now dedicated to health & fitness motivation. I hope to dispel common fitness myths & discourage readers from following quick fixes & fads. With so many sites promoting dangerous fads, gimmicks, products and d

ownright dangerous fad diets, I hope to provide a safe haven for common sense healthy information. I'm happy if I can inform & discourage at least one person to stay away from the MLM marketers promoting "lose weight now/get rich now" scams. The just anybody who loses weight can be a "fitness coach mentality". My goal is to give information that will encourage you to make small, steady health improvements that your doctor will approve of while giving you lifelong improvement. I'm currently 70 years old, continue to train & follow local bodybuilding competitions. Participate in biking, running, kayaking, swimming, snorkel, SUP, x-country skiing, ride motor cycle, weight lifting and other sorts of adventure activities just for the fun of it! I love the ropes course at Adirondack Extreme & have completed the entire course including the final black course many times. When I started exercise & lifting weights 40 years ago at 30 years old, I weighed 90 lbs or less, don't know my body fat % but I bet it was 3O to 35%...I was skinny fat! toothpicks for arms, no tone, no legs, no butt, no energy! Many people scoffed and scolded me for exercising. They would say you can't lose any more weight, why are you exercising? I would explain that I was exercising for weight gain & to gain muscle. Exercise helps to give you an appetite. Now my body fat is usually around 15 to 17% and my weight about 110. Many people don't recognize that too thin is just as dangerous as too big.

I have to say it’s amazing what Dr. Esparza has and is building in Chelem. You’re not going to find all of these services located in one location, even in Merida! It truly is a wellness DESTINATION. I think I’m only aware of part of what is offered. Of course, we all know he’s an excellent doctor for general wellness, but is also an expert in anti-aging. Some of his new things are ….. hyperbaric chamber, red blanket, red sauna, ice plunge, massage, guided exercise ….. now put that with his medical grade anti aging services such as stem cell, peptides, etc and it’s astounding. Once a modest office practice with his father, waiting area was outside on the porch, he was his own receptionist, physical therapist and nurse. He added those people as well as other health professionals. Quite a feat in 10 years …. and I suppose 10 years before that in education.

Weight loss at any cost. I’ve written about it many times since 1990! There have been some really big weight loss “breakthroughs”. These were often doctor approved or promoted, real doctors, not celebrities, just most of them in mass. Huge for 5 or 10 years then barely heard of again. Just a few … Atkins, HGC, Intermittent Fasting, and now GLP drugs …. With these things weight is lost, reading improve, and then a year or maybe 3 years later health has deteriorated ….why? These diet schemes/products give weight loss BUT for example they now know typical GLP-1 user LOSES 25% to 40% of their muscle & bone mass. Holy sagging skin, low energy, low strength, AND a nice INVITATION to arthritis or orthopedic injury. ….. poor spiral this crap causes ….

Supposedly 1 in 8 people in the USA are on GLP weight loss drugs. That’s horrific! They’ve tried so many kinds of diets, etc and feel it’s a must for, after all so many are losing weight with it. Right? NO….. Only out since around 2019, not enough science on it. Specifically the mental health aspect of it. What really astounds me is … how many scoff at Fauci, scoffed at the local health department over a pandemic! Yet will jump into this drug blindly. For decades they ignored common sense moderate activity, healthy eating to opt for a miracle …. a supposed miracle …. PLEASE folks, look at the history, think back ……. how many past weight loss miracles … how many horrible, health DESTROYING miracles, DOCTOR approved schemes, proved to be the worst option. IMO, the biggest issue with weight control is ….. lacking nutrition, fuel for the body …. It can be poor quality food, over processed, packaged or it can be as simple as lack of adequate calories of actual food. Yes, you can function without much food, you can go all day without it, the body will go into fight or flight which does several things …. It conserves energy …(you feel tired)it destroys bone & muscle (for fuel it lacks), it hoards & stores fat (for fuel you didn’t ingest), so arthritis acts up, skin gets saggy, fat is stored for survival, hair, skin & nails suffer (lack of fuel), and in the end it causes binge eating at just the wrong time of day … evening.

Don’t lose weight to get healthy …… get healthy and weight will regulate itself. How many diets, products, fads need to come out be the be all end all only to yet again DESTROY health. We are a nation controlled by hype, marketing schemes and ….. even …. Sold on these schemes, these products by doctors. More give them what they’re asking for, give them what they want marketing. Nutrition isn’t rocket science … it’s simple, maybe too simple …..

I’m thrilled to find that in only 2 weeks away from a big pool, that I can now swim back & forth one time smoothly. I’ve had the pool tether for my tinI, tiny pool for a couple of months. It’s amazing what just 5 minutes twice a day can do for endurance.

7 months since my accident. Rehab now involves running, skipping and jumping. What the mind believes is what the body achieves is a motto at my physical therapist’s office. They are miracle workers. We try to baby ourselves, maybe I’m too old to do that stuff …nope just my brain trying to hinder my progress. I hope that when I visit I can do Adirondack Extreme …maybe not the final one but all the others. This coming week I’m going to ride a 3 wheeled bike around town and maybe another month before I ride the real bike …not sure if I want to chance it or stay secure on a 3 wheeler for my old age. I’m so happy to have my mobility back, happy ho be able to manage the busses or walk. Looking forward to cenotes, caves and hikes after 7 months of rest & rehab. Thankful for the superb treatments available here. I can only imagine how slow this recovery would have been in the USA.
