How quickly we forget; planning each workout, logging our meals and killing it in the gym. All for what??? Two or three days of eating calorie laden foods, downing several alcoholic beverages, and before you know it you are back to square one. So how are you ever going to reach your goals??

You can still enjoy your weekend without letting things get out of hand. It’s all about balance and awareness. Follow these tips to keep you on track with your goals.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art." -Eleanor Roosevelt I am certified in group fitness, yoga, and personal training with over 30 years of experience in the health and fitness industry. I love to teach others how to improve their health so they can enjoy a better quality of life as they age. In the age of botox, liposuction, and facelifts, is there such a thing as aging gracefully? In our youth oriented culture, many people look at aging as losing their looks, their health, and their value in society. Aging is inevitable; everyone gets older, but how we age is greatly influenced by lifestyle factors. The foods you eat, the daily decisions you make, how you take care of your body, can all have a huge impact on how you age. We will all get wrinkles and maybe some gray hairs. However, facelifts, liposuction, and botox will not change our age or help us find the fountain of youth. The fountain of youth is within you; you can age with beauty and grace by building a strong foundation. You have the ability to slow down the aging process with exercise, good nutrition and self care. So take charge of how you age by making better lifestyle choices today.
