You might be surprised to know that although I am a fitness instructor and health coach I haven't been to the gym on a regular bases in years. Oh I may stop in and join a cardio dance class every once in a blue moon or I may try the newest piece of gym equipment but my "regular' gym is the hallway from my foyer to the kitchen and my gym equipment is my body and a set of dumbbells. I spend no more than 30 minutes 5 times a week and at 52 I am in the best shape of my life. Make time for yourself! I promise you won't regret it. Need help getting started? I would be happy to share with you some great workout tips and some amazing recipes to keep you fueled up and building muscle!
