A client says to me, “I was bad this week. I only ran twice.” Another client berates herself for only going to yoga class this week, while another one constantly says, “I am so out of shape.” Then there is the client who didn’t keep a food log during a busy week, over ate and is ready to “throw in the towel,” on her weight loss journey.
Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we beat ourselves up? We look at what we are not doing and harp on the negative.
A new and inspiring approach is in need – an approach that motivates rather than berates! Focus on what is working and honor it, be it a large or small area of your health and fitness. Build on what is working, rather than get caught up in what isn’t happening or what you think should be happening.
Appreciate what is going on for you in the here and now. You may notice great things happen when you make the space to look at what’s working.

What do you think of when the word fitness comes to mind? What images and thoughts appear? What are you doing in that moment? Is it enjoyable or are you just going through the motions?
Beth's philosophy is that fitness should be fun, goal-oriented, realistic and integrated into daily life, regardless of age, gender, health and level. Attitude is everything when it comes to health and fitness.
She inspires and motivates every individual to utilize their greatest gifts: their body, heart and mind, by creating a dynamic and functional program that incorporates fitness into everyday life. The days of tedious and monotonous workouts are over! Instead, you get an exhilarating program that suits you. Variety is the spice of life!
Participating in a lifelong fitness program that excites you, empowers you, and reflects you and your goals is your ultimate health and fitness success story.
The real question is: What do you imagine for yourself now — at whatever stage you may be in your life?
