Being a true geek, I love back to school :) New things to learn, skills to develop, new friends to make! The new school year at Life in Synergy is gearing up to be a great one. New classes, New instructors, New programs. All designed to help you learn about the most interesting thing in the world, YOU! Thank you for allowing me to be your body professor :)

On a Mission!

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 07:48:10 -0400

I was just going through a trade magazine for fitness equipment when I turned to a page for a professional total fitness room. In the picture there where athletes doing five or six different moves on balance balls, steps, with bars and bands. Here is the problem, EVERY ONE of the moves where done in hip flexion, with the shoulders shrugging and the biceps contracted!!!

I want to thank Boston Magazine for awarding me and my Synergistics Fitness Method® Class, the Best of Boston 2010! The bod squad and I had such a great time at the party last night! The highlight of the evening.....

Choice

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:01:37 -0400

I had the most interesting conversation with a client today about choice. You see, this particular person, (like many of us), was stuck in the "why" of the situation....

Bad Attitude

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 12:20:03 -0400

I just cannot understand people in the health and fitness industry who have superior snotty attitudes! When you are fit and healthy, the joy and the real contribution to the community is in teaching others how to achieve that same happiness themselves. The other day I saw a fitness instructor strut by with such a superior attitude it just made me sad. The only difference between her and anyone else is knowledge. That is my mission and the mission of Life in Synergy, to share knowledge with you and to let you know that you are amazing and capable. I love that you have as much fun as we do! Never judge yourself, just learn and enjoy!

Ugh!!!!!!!

I was just walking back to my studio on 9 Newbury form 867 Boylston Street and you would not believe what I saw along the way! In one major gym I saw a client doing exercises incorrectly while the bored trainer looked the other way,....

Hot Arms!

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 09:05:54 -0400

Someone asked me the other day how I get such toned arms without ever doing a biceps curl! Well, that is the key to why my SFM® works so efficiently and quickly. You see, I am working my biceps right now, they are flexed against the force of gravity while I type, carry my bag, eat my dinner, basically most of the day. So when I get in to the classroom, there is no need for me to work this muscle at all. In my SFM®, I only train the muscles that we do NOT normally work, thus creating balance and Synergy in your bodies. This not only gets you in shape faster, it also teaches your brain how to utilize these muscles more throughout your day. Remember as I say, always work smart, not just hard!

Success

Mon, 17 May 2010 04:34:37 -0400

I had a truly amazing conversation with a client last week. She told me that when she came to Life in Synergy®, she knew in her heart that she was not going to be successful and that she is now is truly amazed at how hot she looks and how much she loves shopping for smaller sized clothing. What she did not know, is that until each of you know how amazing and capable you are, I know it for you. I know that life can be hard sometimes but I have got your back, I mean that, especially about getting rid of the back fat :) Each class, training appointment and online learning module is filled with tools to get you wherever it is that you want to be. With real knowledge. For me, knowledge is power and with this power you can accomplish. There are very few people who take the science of exercise more seriously than me, but it is important to have FUN with this knowledge and to learn to Love your body, not look at it as another job or burden. Learning about YOU is the most interesting and important thing you can learn about. That is why all SFM classes, Synergistics appointments and all of the online learning modules are filled with profound, life changing information in easy to understand packages presented in a fun way. Learn about you, love your life.
