Life Happens

Okay it’s the New Year, and maybe one of your “resolutions” is to make some positive changes regarding your health.

How many times have you had what seemed to be a well thought-out plan for losing weight or getting in-shape and were sidetracked by something unexpected happening in your life? Maybe you want to lose weight or get in shape.  While this may seem like a clearly defined goal, other unforeseen issues pop up that can become obstacles to your success.

- The stress of your job or school.

How Healthy are You Really?

Do you consider yourself healthy? Is your spouse healthy? Are your closest friends healthy? Are your children healthy? What about your coworkers? Your siblings? Your parents?

Janette Amodeo

February 2012

Hi, my name is Janette Amodeo. I’m 47 years old and prior to coming to Exertec, most days I felt as though I was 80, a very old 80. I was obese, have rheumatoid arthritis and prone to stress fractures in my feet. To top it off, I had a fall from a ladder causing severe trauma to my right arm. Even two years after my fall, I still found it hard to do some daily activities such as scrubbing a pot or reaching behind me. I didn’t see how I could possibly exercise yet I knew I had to do something.

Your Brain on Resolutions

Some information in this blog is from “Blame it on the Brain,” by Jonah Lehrer, The Wall Street Journal.

Human routines are stubborn to change. Habits are hard to break. They are especially hard to break if we try to change more than one bad habit at the same time. We often do this by making multiple  New Year’s Resolutions-quit smoking, exercise more, lose 20 lbs, and spend more time with my kids.  Some scientists say you can blame your brain for failing, or more specifically, you should blame your prefrontal cortex. 

Group Fitness Updates - January 2012

Our Collection Drive FOR OPERATION with LOVE from HOME for our TROOPS was a huge success.  We filled our barrels with needed supplies multiple times.  Over 1,000 care packages were assembled and sent off directly following our Spin-A-Thon on Saturday 12/10/11.

A job well done! Thank you to all that donated and participated.  

The following Group X Schedule Changes will go into effect January 1, 2012:
