Have you ever noticed that most people, even athletes, become much less active when their school days are over? And that by the time they start families, most people are downright sedentary. Desk jobs, exhausting schedules, TV watching and Web surfing. All of these things have led to an overweight population and an obesity epidemic that extends even to our children.

Recent statistics show that 67% of American adults are overweight, and 33% are actually obese. Worse, 34% of American children are overweight, even though kids are getting involved in sports at younger and younger ages. Clearly, something isn’t working!

Would you like to have a balanced life? Who wouldn’t! But what exactly does that look like?

Think of your life as being a 7-cylinder engine (sure, laugh at my analogy). The seven cylinders are family, career, social, financial, spiritual, personal, and physical.

A balanced life would be one that’s firing on all cylinders. When one isn’t firing, your engine still runs, but not as efficiently as it could. And if you continue to operate like this for very long, you’re bound to mess up something else.

Let’s focus on the physical cylinder, which often gets overlooked. When you’re not getting the proper amount and type of exercise, it affects every other aspect of your life.

An active lifestyle. What have you got to lose by giving it a try? Well, I can think of a few:

• weight
• stress
• type 2 diabetes
• stiffness
• feeling old
• most chronic diseases

On the other hand, here are a few things that you could gain:

• energy
• muscle tone
• quality of life
• lung capacity
• years

Just to name a few.

If you feel that you need personal coaching to help you get started with your active lifestyle, let’s talk. Contact me via any of the methods on my Contact page to let me know that you’re interested, and I’ll spend some time on the phone with you to assess where you are and where you’d like to go. That’s on the house. From there, we’ll both decide if my coaching is right for you.

I am not a personal trainer. I’ll spend a lot of time listening to what you’d like to achieve, and then we’ll come up with a plan that works for you. If you’re looking for someone to nag you about exercising, then I’m not the coach for you. This process will only work if you’ve already decided that you’re ready to do something. I’ll help, but you have to do the work. My personal coaching isn’t for everyone, but if you’re serious about taking control of your health and getting started on a new active life, then this might be right for you.
