wellness


I've decided to incorporate something new into my blog.  The best way I can think to summarize it is with the word, "wellness."  For the past six years I have been going to school studying exercise science; including a BS in Fitness and Wellness Management, a minor in Nutritional Science, and masters degree in Health Promotion.  I have also spent the last four years working at my university's wellness program.  There I counseled faculty members, students, and people from the community to make goals and improve their lifestyle.  Now that I am done with school, I miss sharing my knowledge, so I thought utilizing my blog would be a good way to continue.
I have a few words and phrases that best describe my philosophy about health; "prevention," "quality of life," "every bit counts," "do what you enjoy," and "add rather than restrict."  Perhaps these phrases are self explanatory, but in these wellness posts I will try to give tips to further explain my philosophy.  I'm not about quick fixes.  Just like everything worthwhile in life, I feel that acquiring health is a lifelong process.  I know not all of my tips will work for you, but hopefully you can benefit from at least one.  Look forward for tips on aerobic exercise, strength training, nutrition, stress management, among other things.
