I’m Missing Exercise in Spokane!

Who, me?  Can’t be.  I’m the one who chooses the elevator instead of the stairs.  I purchased an  expensive eliptical  four years ago and have  used it only once!   Was I lazy?  Maybe.  Sure I had periods where I worked out.  But those periods never lasted very long.  And I can’t say I ever really looked forward to working out.   But that was then…..

And this is now….. I am actually missing exercise in Spokane!  How can it be?  Six  weeks ago I started working with a personal trainer.  It was hard work.  Really hard work.  But I stayed with it.  I liked it.  I looked forward to it.  What’s up with that?

It didn’t take very long to actually feel the results.  It wasn’t necessarily weight loss at first but a noticeable difference in my overall health.  For over one year I had been experiencing some  health problems, nothing serious, but definitely quality of life issues.

Annoying They Were…..

I had been having trouble falling asleep.  I would lie in bed for over an hour tossing and turning.  I’d also been taking a lot of Tums.  After nearly every meal and even in the middle of the night!  I was irregular.   My back hurt.  My knees hurt.  I was taking the elevator instead of the stairs.  I avoided walking down to my basement and not just because the eliptical was there.   I was turning into an old lady before my time.

And Then a Miracle….

After less than two weeks of working out in Spokane I was falling asleep in minutes!  Tums?  Didn’t need them anymore!  The irregular issue was gone too!   My back and my knees were feeling better!  I knew I’d have more energy after working out, but the fairly instant results to my other issues was staggering to me.

The “Old” Me Vs. the “New” Me

In my “former” life, I would do anything I could to avoid going to the gym.  When the dogs needed a walk around the neighborhood, I even tried to get out of that.  There was little exercise in Spokane for me.

Then a miracle occurred!  After just one week of working with my trainer, I was hooked.  I wouldn’t even consider skipping my workout.  Unfortunately it all came to an abrupt halt three weeks ago when I had some minor surgery.  My doctor wants me  to wait a full month before resuming my Spokane exercise.   I can feel the negative affects already.  Tums are back in my life!  It takes too long to fall asleep and my irregular problem has risen its ugly head.   My back is acting up again.

While  I was shocked that these  annoying ailments stopped when I started with my personal trainer, I’m even more  shocked that  they came back as quickly as they did!

What has stuck with me during my workout downtime  is that  I am doing fairly well with my eating.   Instead of a nice dose of carbs with my morning coffee, I am chosing fruit (well, most of the time).   Though my husband isn’t thrilled, I’ve knocked off making desserts at night.  I don’t miss them  and truly don’t even consider it.  Sure, I am far from perfect.  I ate french toast with powdered sugar  for dinner last night.  But I no longer eat half a loaf of french bread just driving home from the store.  That alone is progress!    I guess it’s just a change in thinking.  I’m not even aware of it, but it’s there.

I’m anxious to get back to exercise in Spokane.  I will probably find myself putting even more into the workouts than before.  That’s a good thing.  Never would I have thought I would miss working out.

You Can Too!

If you’d like to feel the way I feel, check out Zach Hunt at Physzique!  He’s considered to be the best trainer in the Spokane area and it’s true!  Anyone who can get me motivated to workout has to be good.  Take a look at this website and you’ll see just what it is that I am missing so much.

My Secret to getting Fit and Fabulous!

I’m really doing it this time. I’m losing weight and body fat. After years and years of putting on the pounds, I’m getting buff in Spokane.  A Spokane Personal Trainer is helping me do it.  

I’ve tried the diets. I’ve joined the gyms. I’ve stopped the diets after a few days and I’ve stopped going to the gym even after I’ve paid for a full year’s membership! But NOT ANYMORE!

Not Another Diet

Weight Watchers, NutriSystem, The Cookie Diet, Atkins, and on and on. All these diets will work — IF you stick to them. That’s the catch. I’ve tried most and I’ve failed them all.  Well, I did lose 15 pounds on Weight Watchers once but that was years ago and there’s much more than 15 pounds hanging around right now.  I thought of trying Weight Watchers again but the weekly weigh-in by a Skinny Minnie wasn’t motivating me.  Nor did I want to sit through weekly lectures no matter how instructional and well intentioned they were.  I was done with it. I really do know what NOT to put in my mouth– most of the time. My problem is exercise!  It’s boring!

Not Another Gym Membership!

I’ve joined the gyms. I’ve walked hundreds of circles around my block. I bought an expensive elliptical that has sat unused in my basement for 5 long years! Gyms are expensive and they can’t work when you don’t show up.  Walking is great but it’s cold outside. Ellipticals, treadmills, and the like are often used only as a place from which to hang clothing and wet towels. The Wii Fit is fun but the little computer guy can’t do or say much when you just plain turn it off and head for the frig.

I Need a Spokane Personal Trainer

What I always thought I needed was a personal trainer. He or she would come right to my house first thing in the morning 5 days a week! In my dreams. I couldn’t afford even one day of personal training. Or so I thought.

I didn’t find a trainer to come directly to my house. But I did find one to whom I could go. And it is affordable afterall!

Now I’m Really Doing It!

Three days a week I drive over to my trainer’s facility. For 40-50 minutes he tells me exactly what to do and for how long. No slacking off there - or else! I don’t know that I have ever worked this hard. Aerobics class in the 80’s? No way. Walking around the block? Forget about it. Treadmills and other equipment? Not so much. In all those scenarios I gave up before I even broke a sweat. Not anymore!

Accountability is the key for me. I can’t just blow it off if I am not feeling in the mood. My Spokane Personal Trainer won’t let me. I can’t slack off on those crunches. He’ll see and then what? I can’t just use a lower weight; I’ll hear about it.

Oddly enough, however, I have no desire to slack off. That’s a first. Each day I go I feel stronger. I can run a little faster. I can lift the weights a little easier. It’s a feeling of accomplishment I haven’t felt for a very long time. It feels good!

I have a good deal of weight to lose and a lot of body to shape up. But I will. This time I know I will. It won’t happen overnight and that is just fine by me. Knowing that it will finally happen is all I need. I feel as thought I have discovered some marvelous secret.

The Secret

The secret is Physzique in Liberty Lake. My trainer’s name is Zach Hunt and he is the owner/operator of Physizque. Zach knows firsthand how it feels to be overweight and out of shape. He was overweight as a teen and lost over 100 pounds! He knows exactly how to get the weight off his clients!!

Trainers are People Too!

I like the fact that Zach was once overweight himself. We often tend to think that trainers and others in the fitness industry have always been fit and healthy. We may wonder if we are being judged for “letting ourselves go.” I like to think Zach understands my pain.

You Can Do It Too

You, too, can discover the secret like I did. Give Zach a call at 800/719-3608. Take a look at this video and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

So Exactly What Is The Acai Berry And How Can It Help Get You Fit in Spokane?

Pronouced ah-sigh-EE, The acai berry is harvested out of South America. It comes from a palm tree. Most recently it has been endorsed by people like Rachel Ray and Dr. Oz from Oprah. They claim that
the acai berry has health benefits both physically and mentally.  With endorsements like that who wouldn’t be curious about this newest health craze.

So with all the hype I decided that I would give the acai berry a try. I especially like the claim that using the acai berry can cause significant weight loss. I am all excited about that idea because losing pounds is a big  part of my plan to get fit at a athletic club in  liberty lake. I plan on losing about 70 lbs so I got a lot of work ahead of me.

What Are Some More Great Benefits Of Using The Acai Berry?

• Increased energy level
• Mental clarity
• Improved digestion
• Detoxification
• Improved skin/complexion
• Improved sleep
• Increased sexual function in men

Also another positive is that there are no known negative side effects from using acai berries. When used as a dietary supplement it comes in several forms. Tablets, juice, smoothies, instant powder and whole fruit. So as you can see there are numerous reasons to include the acai berry as part of a complete fitness program.

I have personally experienced increased energy and several pounds of weight loss. It seems to me that the hype over this new craze is true. So jump on the band wagon and get started with the acai berry in what ever form sounds good to you. Seriously, with all the different methods to use this wonderful dietary aid you really have no excuse not to give it a try.

Where Can You Get The Acai Berry?

The quickest way is to go to Google.com and search for it. Right now there are several offers for free trials but you’ll have to pay for shipping. It is worth it. I encourage you to make it part of a your fitness plan.

Along with the acai berry I am combining an exercise program at Physzique in  Liberty lake.  I go there 3 times a week for an intense workout with my personal trainer Zach Hunt.  His ability to motivate and encourage me is amazing and I am confident that with perseverance and determination I will achieve my fitness goals. So if you are interested in seriously changing your lifestyle to include fitness I suggest you use the Spokane acai berry and make an appointment to go see Zach at Physzique, his fitness club  in Liberty lake.
