Happy New Year everyone!
Hope you all enjoyed some time off from the regular routine and had a chance to decompress, relax and recharge.
I gotta say, there’s nothing like sleep to help cure the body’s aches and pains. I never make new year’s resolutions because I think they set oneself up for failure, however, I have decided to make sleep a priority in 2014. No more staying awake to watch some crappy show instead of getting into bed and allowing the body to rest. Remember that it’s only during sleep when our body repairs itself and rebuilds. No matter how hard you work in the gym, if you don’t allow your body to rest and recover, then you’re just wasting your time and will never see the results of your efforts.
On another note, I am in the midst of updating my site and have been looking for inspiration from other fitness sites. I must give a shout out to my client, Gloria Caballero, who took beautiful pictures of me (coming soon) and who is a consumate professional. If you’re looking for a wonderfully creative and experienced photographer, then please reach out to her. She’s the best!
Anyhow, I landed on Tracy Anderson’s site. She is a trainer to the stars.…Gwyneth Paltrow is one of her big name clients. I don’t know about you, but I think Gwyneth’s body looks like a coat rack. Skinny little arms and legs, no muscle.…Some of the quotes on this site were enough to make me scream. One of my faves was telling women not to lift anything heavier than 3 lbs because it’ll make you bulky. What a load of crap! I get so angry when I read stuff like this. Who wants to look a starving child??? You will not look like the incredible hulk by lifting weights. You WILL build beautiful lean muscle and you WILL become strong and fit. Case closed!!! I have been training for many years and I have yet to be mistaken for a guy. I might be as strong as some but that’s another story!
Have a good one!
Please check back soon for my revamped site. It’ll be brighter, more organized and full of great pics!
