Great Book to read for Health and Lifestyle

Younger Next Year by Chris Crowley, MD

I typically encourage my clients to read this book. It is an easy read and discusses how to eat right, take care of your self, exercise, and gives a unique perspective from both a physician and patients point of view. I have personally seen the impact this book has had on the lives of my clients and I know it can have an impact on you as well!

Let me know what you think!

Corporate Fitness Training

For the past 3 years, I have been doing a corporate fitness program with a Fiserv Data Center in Chatsworth, CA. As a trainer, it has been an interesting challenge. I know that research tells us structured fitness programs within organizations has proven to have multiple benefits such as -

1. Reduced Health Care costs
2. Less Sick Days
3. More Productive Employees
4. Better Employee Morale
5. Reduced Stress and Anxiety
6. Less Employee Turnover
7. Better Quality of Life for Employees

I have personally seen many of these benefits face to face with Fiserv, including just this year for the first time, a decrease in Health Care costs. I have also seen people lose weight, inches, and improve their fitness to absolutely fantastic levels. I have personally see women go from doing 3 to 5 pushups on their knees, to 20 pushups on their toes! All members are getting strong, improving their posture, circulation, cardiovascular systems, balance, and core strength. Most members are also improving their eating habits, primarily due to our education, constant asking, and a new general culture of healthy habits. Even people who are not involved in the fitness program are benefiting from everyone making a conscious effort to eat better and take better care of themselves. Luncheons now have healthy options for eating as opposed to fried foods, pizza, etc... we are now promoting salads, grilled chicken breast, and other healthy options.

It has been very rewarding for me to see these positive changes in a group as a whole. I attached a testimonial letter from one employee who is participating in the program. In the future, I hope to see more employees participate in the program, and possibly take on another company. Any thoughts?
