Revive and Reality

It has been a week of no posts and not a lot of working out.  Truth is, my friends, life gets in the way sometimes.

That and yeah, Fitness is not my true passion in life, however, I NEED to make sure that I MAKE TIME for it… so I can enjoy my passion in life.

This is exactly WHY Revive Fitness is the only place that works for me.  I constantly get preoccupied with work, or the kids, or just life in general, and put myself last.  Lee Anne and Shawn stay on top of you, and follow up.  The beauty of these two, is that they genuinely care.

When I re-read the blogs that I have posted, I realize that these two sound like hard asses, and most people would think – why in the WORLD would I want to go work out there!  YIKES!  Blew that one – dope!   In actuality this husband and wife duo are probably the most caring people I have ever met.

THAT – and they are probably the most fun people that I have ever spent time with.  Watching Lee try to open a bottle of water while eating a sandwhich, and the entire bottle spills ALL OVER HER LAP!  Why?  Because she thought she could hold it between her knees, and one handed open it while eating the sandwhich!  Those THIGH MASTER legs, smashed the bloody thing and a guiser shot up and landed on her lap!  Now THAT is funny!

I whine like a moron, over the classes, but in truth, how hard is it really to do Pushups, Sit ups, squats etc?   I love Revive Fitness, because regardless of my personal fitness level, they find the means for me to make it through a class.  Sure they make fun of me a little more than most, but that is because I can take it, and I do enjoy pushing myself.

I was watching Toronto City TV Breakfast Television this morning, and they were promoting Cross Fit:  Reeboks latest and greatest.  When looking at the examples of exercises, I began to laugh!

Revive Fitness has been doing this stuff for years it is called CROSS TRAINING, INTERVAL TRAINING, ATHLETIC TRAINING!  Reebok did NOT invent this stuff.  They just grabbed a Name, Trademarked It, and Marketed it.  Good Trainers have been doing this stuff for years… old school workouts. THEY GET RESULTS!

Revive Fitness does not work with machines, nor do they just rent you access to their equipment to use unsupervised.  They know that they best results occur when trainers are there to MOTIVATE and MODIFY!

I sprained my ankle, and they modified, so that I could continue to exercise, but not hurt my ankle…  This is what a GOOD personal trainer does!

They believe in athletic training, and honestly?

If you push yourself for 30 – 45 minutes a day – YOU CAN CHANGE THE WAY YOU FEEL! 

OK – SO I may NEVER look totally ripped… but hey!  I don’t have to… I just need to be healthier, and more fit, so that I can enjoy my kids, and grandkids  (NOT that the boys are out there…. you know…)

I am not feeling quite so negative about the exercises anymore… which leaves me to wonder – HOW in the world am I going to find the FUNNY in being Happy?  Human Nature loves to laugh at other’s misery.

So maybe I will be featuring the Joy of Lee and Shawn, and sharing the tales of getting fit, and laughing all the way back to the mirror!

Regardless of your age, or fitness level, Revive Fitness has a program that will make you FEEL REVIVED!
