April is National Stress Awareness Month. This year in particular has been a very stressful one for me. I am doing my best to notice my stress and take action. Stress will stay in your body if you don’t do something to alleviate it. It likes to hang out in my shoulders and trapezius muscles. I can tell when it’s there by the tightening and the feeling of weight or heaviness trapped in my shoulders.
I like to relieve my stress lest it linger and suck me into the abyss! I use various modalities like exercise, eating healthy, stretching, breathing, singing, listening to music, being in nature and more to control my stress. Lately I am trying just to stop – to slow down and do nothing. Life can get hectic for me and it creates stress. What’s your stress and how do you manage it? You may not even know you’ve got stress until one day it hits you – whoa!!!

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?
