Hey Everyone,

I know I'm at least a week or so behind in getting your urls posted on my website.

Can each of you (the ones that I don't have linked to my site that is...) please comment with a short description of what your website is about?  Keep it short, maybe 2 or 3 sentences as well as the url and I will get it up on my site within a few days.

Thanks!

Now off to change people's lives through fitness!

Choosing to compete in a sport or specific event is a great way to get in shape and test your abilities. 

A few years ago I was running 5ks, 10ks, and half marathons on a regular basis.  Which meant I had to train specifically and regularly for my sport.  I loved it.  It was a great physical and mental challenge.  I am a born sprinter (wanna race me 100 yards?  I'll smoke you.) so distance running - anything over half a mile - is tough for me. 

The best part of any race (for me) is crossing the finish line. It's such a feeling of accomplishment!  Plus earning a medal is way way cool!  I have a collection of them somewhere.

One of my clients is competing in a half triathlon today.  I am so proud of her.  She has trained hard and consistently and did not give up even after having to take a week off from training because she was terribly sick!

I have told her countless times that I am so impressed with her decision to do a triathlon (running, biking and swimming in the same event for those of you who aren't familiar) because I just don't swim well enough to do it in a competition! 

Just since I have known her (2 1/2 months) her fitnsss level has doubled...a lot of it with some help from me!  All her friends think she is crazy.  I don't.  I know how competition can shape your mental outlook and focus in all areas of your life.

I know she is gonna do a great job today!  I've enlisted her friend to make sure she rests and recovers and takes several epsom salt baths (for inflammation) this weekend.  It will be a hard task because Heather doesn't sit still for long!

You don't need to run races or become a bodybuilder (unless that's your cup of tea) to compete in a sport.  You could join your local parks and recreation sports leagues.  Dating Coach April would say definitely choose the co-ed teams if you are going to join one!

Find something you love to do and do it a few times a week along with a program of simple strength training and cardiovascular exercise.  I guarantee you will see a vast improvement in your fitness level in as little as 4 weeks!
