I am a group fitness instructor and personal trainer with a background in education. I fell in love with health and fitness as a student athlete in college. This inspired me to pursue a Masters degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion. When my college cheerleading days ended, I sought new ways to stay in shape and feel great about myself. This is when I fell in love with group fitness, running, and weight lifting. I spent 8 years as a health teacher then decided to transition into the fitness world. I fell in love! In my free time, I continue to stay active with my family through taking nature hikes and walks, running and biking together, and heading to the pool or beach. I truly believe in a healthy lifestyle.

JUST MOVE! Just 30 minutes a day can decrease your risk of heart disease. There is no need to jump on a treadmill and sprint, moderate exercise of 150 minutes a week is recommended by the American Heart Association. If sprinting is your style, you only need 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week to see similar health results. ❤️Moderate vs. Vigorous Activity. Exercise intensity can be determined based on your heart rate, breathing rate and how you feel. The higher your heart rate and breathing rate rise, the harder you are working. A heart rate monitor can be purchased to quickly determine your heart rate during exercise. The American Council on Exercise provides a quick tool to estimate target heart rate zones based on your age and fitness level. Find My Target Heart Rate If you don’t have a heart rate monitor, you can determine the intensity based on how you feel, known as your rate of perceived exertion or RPE. RPE is based on how YOU feel doing a particular exercise. Depending on your fitness level, certain exercises may feel vigorous for one person and moderate for another. ❤️Heart Healthy Exercise Any movement will provide some benefit for your heart. However, 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity on most days of the week provides additional benefits for combating heart disease. Cardiovascular exercise causes the heart rate to increase and over time creates physiological changes that decrease your risk for heart disease. Exercise does not have to take place at a gym or on a piece of equipment. Taking a walk outdoors, hiking, swimming, and biking are excellent ways to fit your cardio into your routine. You can even complete exercises indoors. There are many online programs available for working out from home, some are even free. If you are heading to the gym, there are many options available. If your gym offers group fitness classes, check out some of these and ask an employee for the best classes for you!
