During one of my mid afternoon training sessions I noticed a gal on the rowing machine reading. She rowed so slowly and turned her head sideways to read. By late afternoon she was still there, rowing at a snail’s pace while reading!
I wanted to politely ask her if she would be open to some suggestions on how to optimize her workout. First, I would correct her form so that she wouldn’t injure her neck, and second I would tell her to cut down the length of the workout by doing some moderate to high intensity intervals.
Please don’t make the mistake of spending infinite amounts of time doing cardio, while skipping strength training. Strength training twice a week and 20 – 30 minutes of focused moderate to high intensity cardio 4 -5 days a week gives you a better return on your fitness in the long run.

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?
