Healthy Lifestyle, healthy eating and shopping, safe and effective exercise
ACSM: American College of Sports Medicine
I enjoy finding new ways to exercise, eat healthy, and feel good! I studied Exercise Science at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Since then I continue to study human performance, exercise science, nutrition, and wellness, whole body/whole person concepts.
My lifestyle experience:
I hurt my knee when I was seventeen years old, had my first surgery on it when I was 20 - almost 3 years ago I had a total knee replacement - it went badly and took me almost 5 months to get back to where I had been before the surgery. About that time I was in a major car accident. All these experiences have made me much more committed to finding ways to help people exercise and feel good in their body where they are.
My Nutrition Experience:
I grew up in the South - home of fried foods and white bread heaven! I started reading books about nutrition when I was 12 years old. Today, I continue to read and study nutrition - I started a grocery store shopping tour to help people get out of the rut of picking the same foods over and over, learn new "cooking concepts" and try new foods.
My Fitness Experience:
I started teaching group fitness classes in 1980, before there were certifications for "aerobics." When certifications became available I became certified in low impact, step, spinning, and weight training. During that time I completed my degree in Exercise Science and Sports Studies from UNCG.
My Athletic Experience:
None
