Have a Plan

If you fail to plan you plan to fail.

Truer words were never spoken. As a wife and mother of two teenage children, my life would be nothing short of chaotic without a plan. Most of us lead very busy lives. The day-to-day stresses of life make it a challenge to complete the everyday chores for which we are responsible. When life becomes hectic, the basic components of a healthy lifestyle are often the first items left out of our plans. Taking time to exercise and eat right should be at the top of our list of plans.

My decision to start this blog came as part of my plan to make healthy changes in my lifestyle. While I make an effort to eat right and exercise, I am not seeing the results I want. If I had the time, I could spend countless hours searching the web for answers, but I prefer a more efficient approach. I chose to find a professional who could help me get the results I desire.

After a bit of investigative work on my part, I found the best fit for me was to find a personal trainer who could assist me in devising a plan individualized for my needs. One-size-fits-all does not apply when it comes to our health. What might be the right plan for a healthy twenty-five-year-old would not be the solution for me, a forty-four-year-old with osteoarthritis in both knees. I was thrilled when I met Gregg Schwartz, owner of American Mobile Fitness. Gregg came highly recommended by one of his current clients. He specializes in preventative and rehabilitative programs, a perfect fit for someone like me who suffers from osteoarthritis, a condition that could be exacerbated by certain exercises.

I look forward to starting this journey to a healthier life.
