Finding The Perfect Match

I am from the era of aerobics classes, however I never wore a leotard. In high school, the girls gym class was taken to the weight room once, however we simply walked around the room. I was very healthy, strong and quite fit at that stage of my life many years ago. However, I didn't have the perfect fitness match in aerobics and wish my gym teacher showed us how to lift weights because all my strength and conditioning was lost. It was nearly 20 years later that I found my trainer Josh Hewett owner of Top Form Fitness, he trains me using weights and I don't need to wear a leotard. In fact the preferred shoe preference for weight lifting exercises is converse, how cool is that?

It is very important on the journey of health and fitness that you find forms of exercise that truly light your fire. For me those awesome strength and conditioning exercises are squats, lunges, step ups, hex bar deadlifts, hanging knee raises, push ups, barbell routines, jumping chin ups, v-sit ups and many others. All of these exercises light my fire, are challenging and get me the results  I am looking for. I have become stronger than I have ever been and my conditioning is truly surprising. In September 2009, I began implement training doing 200 lb tractor tire flips, pulling and push weighted prowler sleds and tire slams. This type of training is used to prepare for Strongmen competitions and is mostly an interest had by men. This girl loves it and will share my story of Matilda with you another time.

Lifting weights and implement training make me want to get stronger. To lift a little more weight in the training session. To do more reps on my next weeks sets. There is a drive to find your own personal best and keep pushing a little further even when you have nothing left.

The video you watched was one of my first implement training sessions filmed by my trainer Josh Hewett of Top Form Fitness. This was back when the fire for training was sparked and the experiences were all new and super exciting because I had just found my perfect match. I encourage everyone to find their perfect exercise match in life. It may change or evolve over the years but if you want to be committed to your health and fitness you need to find something that you love. 

This year my goal is to get stronger. Everything is in place, Josh Hewett my awesome trainer, a unbelievable home gym, a solid strength and conditioning program, my itunes playlists and my new black and pink low cut converse. I have begun my journey, this week has been full of awesome training including cardio HIIT sessions and strength and conditioning. I hope you take some time to look for something that sparks your fire and you also find the perfect match. 

In the next few weeks I plan to create some new videos of my training and I will post them for you to see.
