I am proud to announce to you all that I am now a NGA Natural Pro Bodybuilder. This past weekend I competed in the 2010 NGA Heart of America Classic. I can’t begin to tell you the journey that it has been during the past 6 months. Running my own business as a personal trainer here in Charlotte requires many long hours. I knew when I signed up to do this show it was going to be the hardest one so far. When people tell you that your body changes when you get older, TRUST ME it does!! My body did not respond as it normally had for previous shows.

When I commit my mind to do something I do it 100%. I remember when it snowed a few months ago and I was so exhausted. I thought about using the excuse that I couldn’t go to the gym because there was snow on the ground. However, I reminded myself that my competitor was probably sitting at home. I walked to the gym that day through the snow and all to do my cardio. Many days I was strictly running off of faith and nothing else. Every time I would even think about slacking off I thought of my good friend Larry. I trained Larry a few years ago for his first bodybuilding show. Larry stands out to me because his job required him to work so many swing shift hours. Larry kept on while never giving up. I told myself if Larry didn’t find any excuses to give up then neither would I.

Initially I competed for my division in the video and then I went on to compete for overall and I won!!! Did you get that?? I won the ENTIRE show while beating out 71 competitors. WOW!!! It was an overwhelming range of feelings. I feel so blessed.

It’s so important to me to lead by example. I have to be a role model and inspiration to you all. I am truly not a trainer talking the talk but you better believe I am walking the walk as well.

Jerika did 73 jumping jacks and won a set of weights

I am always so honored when one of the local schools contacts my company about coming out and speaking with students. I especially enjoy going back to my home school and being viewed in my professional era. Unfortunatley I could not make this one but I sent my team out. Jackie shared that she had such a great time with these ladies. Check out Jerika in the second picture who won a set of weights because she done 73 jumping jacks. WOW!!! When is the last time you have tried to do 20 jumping jacks??? I was so impressed with this young lady. Great job Jerika!! All of these ladies did a great job with the session and shared that they learned all kinds of good stuff like how much sugar is actually in a coke and minute maid lemonade (which by the way Jerika confessed she drinks at least 2 a day), healthy lunch and snack ideas, and just good old fashioned fitness tips they can do. We had a great time and thank you ladies for allowing us to be a part of your health and fitness goals.

Yes this is a fact! Actually we are almost at max for this special promotion. You see I have done all of my homework and I am confident that there is no other service in Charlotte being offered that beats this deal. Now sure you can go to some shade tree Personal Trainer and he/she will set you up a program with 3 sets of 10 reps on some space crafted exercise. Why not just do 30 reps and go home? Hummm… now that’s something to think about. Who knows this trainer may even train you for free. (LOL…) Now that beats $9.95 but the quality of your free service will not come close to our Power Start Program, I can guarantee you that. One thing I know is you will have all of what’s promised in our Power Start Program and then more.
Here is what we are going to do for you! Right now, when you purchase The Power Start Program we are adding all of the bells and whistles to the package. This includes our on line state of the art nutritional vault. You will learn the
basic A-B-C’s to designing your nutritional meals. Along with that we are going to throw in an additional training session. This takes your number of training sessions up to a whopping 21!
So far we have had a number of new clients claim there spot. Just to name a few Ericka Mitchell, Jordan Lay, Suzy Wrenn and Saheerah Harris welcome aboard! In fact I will have some of their live testimonials up on our blog at http://www.personaltrainersincharlotte.com/blog/ they will be telling you just how sweet the deal really is. This is your chance to work with one of the best for pennies on the dollar.
Go now to www.healingcharlotte.com and get your Power Start Pack! We only have a limited number of slots left for this special. After that we will lock out the deal for at least another 6 weeks and you will have to wait until we roll out the red carpet again. Just imagine how toned, lean and healthy you will feel by Spring.

First lady is hula-hooping her way to health

Can I say WOW!!!  Thank God health and wellness is a priority with our president and his family.  Michelle Obama and the Department of Agriculture hosted a Healthy Kids Fair on the lawn of the White House yesterday.   Their goal is to have more schools committ to offering nutritional foods and removing the junk food.  I am always surprised when my son buys cookies and ice cream at school.  It infuriated me when his mom told me he was in the “negative” with his account.  Wouldn’t you know that when we look at his account he was buying several packs of cookies and all sorts of junk food.  We put a lock on his account immediatley.  I was frustrated that we try so hard at home to provide him with nutritional meals, yet he could go to school and load up on junk food.

I really could relate to  Mrs. Obama’s story when she shared how things were for her growing up.  My mom didn’t offer us fast food much because just like Mrs. Obama’s parents, she simply couldn’t afford it.  If we asked for food then we ate what we asked for.  We were all active as we didn’t have video games or cable TV to keep us preoccupied. 

1 in 3 children are obese and overweight.  Did you get that????  If you think it’s  a problem now just wait until the next 5 or 10 years.  Medical experts are now predicting that the next generation will have a shorter life span as a result.  So far 635 elementary schools across America have committed to throwing out the junk food and offering more nutrional meals.  They hope to have middle and high schools join them. 

If you’re overwhelmed with how to integrate proper nutrion and exercise into your family go to www.healingcharlotte.com and schedule your free, no obligation consult today and get started!  Remember, if you want to be successful at teaching your children about nutrition and health then you must start with yourself first.  Until next time, Train Hard and Eat Healthy!
