It is ALL Important

Throughout my 13 years in the fitness industry, I have come across waves of trainings, workshops, and the next big workouts.  Sometimes whatever worked for me at the time I would consider the most important part of a workout.  For example when I moved to Los Angeles in 2000, I was 27 years old and skinny fat.  On the outside I looked decent, but had no muscle tone, and had never done resistance training before.  That is when my fitness career began at 24 Hour Fitness, and I found Bodypump, which totally transformed my body, I was really in the best shape of my life.  I was convinced that weights were everything, even more important than cardio, and then I found Yoga, and I realized, it is the combination that is the key.

Find your combination, what cardio do you like?  Working out with weights is great, but good old pushups and Yoga activate your lean muscle and strengthen your bones.  Especially in our world today, where there are so many combinations and specialty workouts, there really are no excuses.

I just let a stroller walk, my baby indulged me by taking his nap at the perfect time, it was the most gorgeous day, hot sun and cool breeze.

So whatever it is that you do for your Healthy, Active Lifestyle, it is all good, but make sure it has aspects of cardio, resistance training, and stretching incorporated in there somewhere.  It is also great to always focus on the core in everything you do, just core is not enough, to get the layers off its all about 80% nutrition, the exercise is only 20%.  I would love to give anyone that is interested a FREE CONSULTATION, no matter where you live, on healthy eating habits and brainstorm on what would be fun for you to do for exercise.
