I perceived myself as a healthy individual but on September 28th 2009 I went for a blood pressure screening and to my surprise my blood pressure was 185/110. As you can imagine I was scared because I considered myself a healthy person when in reality I was not. My Dr. immediately wanted to put me on medicine but I refused. She also recommended a change in my diet and exercise. I walked into your studio thinking exercise was a walk around the block. You quickly showed me what exercise was all about. You have been my cheerleader throughout this whole process. I learned to eat so much better as a result of your nutrition program. I used to eat salami and meats loaded with sodium and through work with you I learned how to eat healthy again. I learned about healthy foods such as almond butter and hummus and I tweaked my nutrition completely.
I also learned how to rethink a lot of things. I always gave myself an excuse for not working out. With you I have scheduled appointments that hold me accountable and committed to my fitness. My blood pressure has now leveled off all due to my exercise habits of working one on one with you. I like that the focus is on me when I workout with you. The 1:1 is key. My friends buy material things but material things fade away and if your health fades away it all means nothing. I continue to improve in all aspects of my fitness and my heart rate both at rest and during exercise is in the 95th percentile for my age! I now am setting a new goal for myself by running my first 5k race. After 41 years of my husband pushing me to run I now thank Wayne for giving me the confidence to go out and do it!
