I am a fitness fanatic!  I love to get people moving.  I have always been athletic and started participating in Syncronized Swimming at the age of ten.  In high school I participated in volleyball, basketball and track. At sixteen I was taking aerobic classes regularly. I decided to get certified and share my love of fitness with others. I have been a Group Excersize instuctor for 13 years. My love for swimming led natually into teaching water aerobics, this is another fun way to stay fit.  I have been teaching water aerobics for four years.  Personal Training was the next step to being able to encourage and help others individually. I have been Personal Training for four years, and have enjoyed every minute of it.  There is nothing better then to see someones life change when they get motivated to excersize.  I am presently training for a half marathon, and have found training with kettlebells most challenging. Kettlebells originated in Russia and are becoming more popular in the U.S.  I am encouraging others to try them out, what a work out!  I am looking forward to teaching classes in a resort setting.  It sounds like a wounderful opportunity to encourage and motivate people when they are relaxed and on vacation, and for me to get a break.
