Winning the war against childhood obesity with character.
This tag line from Laurette Willis’ website www.powermoveskids.com grabbed me and I talk with her about her public school strength/balance and flexibility training program, that also incorporates character traits, called Power Moves Kids. We also talk about changing the “want to” from the inside and permanent, lasting, transformative, change in her Christian program for kids called Praise Moves Kids www.praisemoveskids.com. What do you think about this?

Thank you for being here. One of my goals for 2010 is to post more often on the Group Fitness Talk Radio blog. I am the girl that finds it so much easier to talk face to face, but I want to get to know you all better and since we don’t live close enough to meet face to face, this is how we get to do it.
In 2009 I did some major changing. Let me explain…. My exercise regimen is fairly set. I teach my scheduled classes, which I love, and sub whenever I can. In the summer, I add cycling to my schedule as I can and train for long rides with my husband on the tandem. I pretty much exercise to capacity. Is that a term? Anyway, you all know what I mean. However, I needed to change something up, as I was dissatisfied with changes in my body composition- a nice way of saying I was consistently gaining weight . Oh, by the way, I also know I was working out in the proper zones and burning fat while training. So, horror of horrors, I had to look at my diet. What could I/ should I change? Something wasn’t working anymore. So, I have modified some things and changed the way I look at different components in my diet. I found the following article very helpful. It’s from 2002 and it is a bit lengthy, but it has a lot of good nuggets in it and a lot of “food for thought” ha ha.
Let me know your thoughts.
I had the chance to sit down in Jamaica and talk with David Mesirow about his new product launch, Beaming. (It was definitely my favorite interview atmosphere!) David wanted to present the fitness industry with something new and exciting, but also “all encompassing”. Beaming takes into account all aspects of health and is done barefoot, in a dark room, with candles and soft music. David describes not only the theory behind Beaming, but how and why he came up with the concept. Enjoy!
