I am encouraging fitness and a healthy lifestyle for everyone! This is how I became hooked on fitness! I have two children who are now 16 and 14 years old. I was always pretty active, but parenthood consumed me and I started to neglect myself. When my younger child was 3, I decided it was time to start moving again and get in shape! With two small children and a full time teaching job, it was not
an easy task. I decided to get up early(5:30) and go into my basement and work out. I bought several Denise Austin DVDs, a step, and some light weights. I did everything from step routines, to weight training, to pilates! Changing it up kept me interested. I stuck with it and began to become more and more toned. My clothes fit better, I had more energy, and I felt better about myself. Being fit became a part of my life, just like eating and sleeping! It also made me stronger mentally. Going through many of life's struggles, I found that working out has helped me through many tough times. Eventually I joined NYSC, kept getting up at that crazy 5 o'clock hour, and fell in love with spin class! I attended spin classes several times a week, along with other body toning classes. I found that it was always challenging because I was in charge of my own resistance. The instructors and music were so motivating! Thank you to my mentors and great instructors...Kurt Reineking, Lisa Frey, and Toni Gencarelli! Then a couple of years ago, I decided to get certified to teach spin and here I am! Bottom line is...YOU can get in shape, no matter what age you are or what shape you are in now. Start today and make it a priority! Do it for you! Put aside an hour a day and get it done! That's only 4% of your day! You CAN do it! Get moving in any way you can! If you happen to be a member of NYSC, give spin a try or keep coming if you're already a fan! SuzyQ Spin will be at the following locations/times:
Montclair NYSC: Every Monday 7pm
Clifton NYSC: Every Thursday 6:30pm
