I am proud to begin to feature other fit moms and fitness coaches her on PersonalFitCoach.com. Our first spotlight is on Coach Vawny of Virginia. Here is her story:

Goodness, I think an entire week has gone by without a new post. How did that happen? Last Saturday, I had the amazing opportunity to spend the day with fitness trainer, guru, and P90X creator, Tony Horton. It was a day filled with sweat, great health and fitness information and terrific people. Read more to find out all about this great day.

A wise man once said, “You can either have excuses or fitness, but not both”. So which do you choose to have? What would you prefer to have? Personally I would prefer to have fitness, not excuses. But I have many, many excuses for avoiding exercises and eating healthy foods. My biggest problem is getting past those excuses.

I wrote about this topic about two years ago and thought it was a good time for an update. Do you realize that about 50% of people have given up on their New Year’s Resolution by the middle of the year. How about you? Did you set a goal that is strong enough and important enough for you to stick with it? Or, are you letting other things get in the way. Are you letting yourself get lower and lower on your priority list?

Debblie Siebers is one of my favorite trainers when it comes to fitness advice. She is probably most famous for her Slim-in-6 program, but her sensible advice is something that I often come back to time and time again. Recently, Debbie wrote a great tip about the importance of emotional well being in addition to physical fitness.

many more celebrities, Jennie Garth toned up for her comeback role on the new 90210 by working out five days a week with husband actor Peter Facinelli to trainer Tony Horton’s P90X DVDs. “Every day is different,” she says. “One day is really hard yoga. Then arms and shoulders, legs, then karate. His program is made to confuse the muscles so you don’t plateau. I feel better now than I ever have.

So, if you are on the fence about trying P90X, I say go for it. If for any reason you are not thrilled with the program, you can return it for a full refund. I would be so thankful if you would order through me and I’ll be your coach. There are also many other programs to choose from, so browse around and send a friend my link too. Thanks to all of my readers for your great support!

Well, the only way to walk a mile is to take one step at a time. The only way to improve your fitness is the same way. We need to throw away the excuses and get moving. My latest excuse has been lack of time. If I could not devote 45-60 minutes to my workout, I has myself convinced that a shorter session would not be worth it, even though I knew better.
