How to Begin an Exercise Routine...
and Stick to It!
By David Berry, NASM Certified Personal Trainer

Congratulations! If you’re reading Luisana’s blog, you’ve likely chosen healthy eating as a key element to living a healthy life. So why am I here? To talk about another major element – exercise!

I know, I know. ‘I hate doing cardio’ or ‘I don’t have time to go to the gym’ are knee-jerk reactions when it comes to exercise. Or maybe you’re actually a wannabe fitness nut but aren’t sure how to get started. What should you do?

My name is David Berry, and I’m a certified personal trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). Day in and day out, I work with individuals from all walks of life, in all levels of fitness. And I help them make positive changes that work for the long term. Not just a week or a month, but years down the line. I’m talking about total lifestyle change.

Staying Fit with the Freedom
By Brianna Collins

Upon entrance into college, I became starkly aware of the new freedoms that came along with living away from home. With the lack of curfew and supervision, came a surprising new freedom I hadn't thought about before: food. 

There were no longer family meals to attend to or homemade lunches to bring to school. My meals were consistently made by restaurant equipment rather than hands of conscious of health. Nights were later and schedules were less defined.

My Coconut Chicken & Banana Waffles were featured on FOX 17 Nashville. Big, big thanks to Kelly Sutton for the mention. Bon appetite, y'all! ;)

XO,
Luisana
