Becoming Healthy
Becoming Healthy is the best decision I’ve ever made. Actually, I think choosing my husband was the best choice I’ve ever made, but choosing to be healthy is definitely up there! ;) One of the best things I have done to improve my health was to stop drinking soda completely. I won’t even have soda “every once in awhile”, since I personally think that leads to drinking it on a regular basis again. What’s one thing you have done to drastically improve your health?

Achieve Long-Term Results
Small daily improvements are the key to staggering long-term results. I totally agree with this. How I eat today is COMPLETELY different than how I ate 7 years ago. My husband and I didn’t change our eating habits overnight. We made small changes over time, and little by little, we ended up making a huge difference in our overall diet and lifestyle. Achieve Long-Term Results If you want to start eating healthy, I don’t suggest being 100% healthy overnight. Start small. Maybe you can start with just your breakfast! For example, if you used to eat sugary cold cereal for breakfast, switch it up with a healthier alternative such as learning how to make Quinoa Cereal for breakfast. Sure, you might not eat the healthiest lunch or dinner, but you have made a huge change by switching your cold...

How To Do The Perfect Push-Up
A big part of being a certified personal trainer is to spot incorrect exercise form and make the necessary corrections to prevent injury and maximize exercise efficiency with our clients. When I go to the gym, I see a lot of people doing the push-up incorrectly. Folks, it’s time to learn how to do the push-up correctly. How To Do The Perfect Push-Up In addition to having correct form during the exercise, it’s important to maintain a 4-2-1 tempo. This means that you go down slowly for 4 seconds, hold for two seconds, and then go back up in 1 second. Too many people will just go up and down as quickly as possible, which results in horrible form (usually) and doesn’t maximize the benefit of the exercise! Check out the video below to learn how to have proper...
