Seeking to fill a need for non-traditional approaches to physical fitness, I created Lead With Your Heart Fitness to accommodate clients desiring fitness solutions outside the gym. "Lead With Your Heart" was the phrase that my yoga instructor used to guide the class into a forward fold and into the first vinyasa flow of the evening. I took the phrase with me when I left my home on the East Coast to pursue a new lifestyle and career path in San Diego, CA. I enrolled in the UCSD Extension Fitness Instruction and Exercise Science Certification to further my overall knowledge of health and wellness while becoming certified as a Personal Trainer by the American Council on Exercise. I have completed coursework in anatomy, physiology, nutrition for fitness and exercise for special populations.
I train clients to meet their personal goals and inspire them to regard exercise as an important part of their personal happiness long after the training sessions have been completed.
A wise friend once told me that the only barrier to exercise is you. When you don't sign up for the race, you are the only thing stopping you from completing it. I've taking this advice to heart in my exercise routine and in my everyday life. Exercise is often viewed as primarily physical when in fact it is the brain the commands the actions of the muscles along with the when and the how. Without the brain telling us to start and stop there would be no movement at all. We must convince our brains and our bodies that we can overcome challenges and accomplish the task at hand whether it be a marathon or a staff meeting.
I look forward to meeting you!
Yours in Health,
Allison
