I am a fitness junkie, a sneaker connoisseur, a lover of anything pink, a daily you tube user, and a certified personal trainer and group x instructor. It is my mission to show each client, gym member and class participant just what their bodies can do. My fitness philosophy is focused around "What can your body do?", changing the focus from what we look like to how our bodies perform and function. The Fitness with a Purpose Newsletter and Blog is a place where you can find tips, tools, and tactics on how to make fitness a lifestyle and maximize each workout and meal to enable you to become as fit and healthy as possible. This is also a place where I share my personal experiences with my own fitness and quest to see just what my body can do when I set a goal and do what ever is possible to achieve that goal. Consistent action produces consistent results!

Nutrition Shape Up Challenge


#1: Drink at least 8 8oz glasses of water a day.

I have started a Nutrition Shape Up Challenge and for the next 8 weeks there will be 8 challenges to help you transform your nutrition game plan. Incremental changes create monumental movements! Small steps = big results.

Water is essential to a healthy and fit body. When you find yourself thirsty, you have already dipped below par in the hydration department. What has helped me the most is beginning the day with one glass of water right before I sit down and enjoy my cup of coffee. Then I make sure I have a convenient water bottle at my finger tips through out the day.

I will say one of the reasons why I do not drink a lot of water is because I find myself having to run to the ladies room constantly when training clients. This is not a good enough reason to not hydrate my body. So now I have just become creative at having clients maximize their plank holds!
