The key to a successful fitness routine is finding the right personal fitness trainer. A good trainer will help you stay motivated and meet your goals, while a bad one can leave you feeling frustrated and uninspired. So, what should you consider when looking for a personal fitness trainer? We at Puravida Fitness want you to achieve your fitness goals and be the best version of yourself. This is why we have written down the top five things you should look for in a personal fitness trainer.

Last week was Father's Day and I was grateful for the love I got from my family. Being a dad fits the Army slogan "It's the toughest job you'll ever love." It's an important role and I take it seriously. Proverbs 22:6 says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."' This passage makes me think of a conference I was at several years ago. Famous author/speaker Andy Andrews said "it's not up to us to raise good kids. It's up to us to raise good adults." This really stuck with me because I realize as a parent, my job is to develop my kids as best as I can so they are able to function in the real world.

Have you ever tried taking a shortcut for something? I know I have. In high school we'd get Cliff Notes to avoid reading the entire book in English class. The other day I tried taking a shortcut to the store. Turned out a road was closed so it ended up taking me longer. The desired outcome is clear but the effort to get there requires a lot of hard work, time and effort. That makes the detour for a shortcut seem like the best option to take.

"As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly." Proverbs 26:11 I've used this passage before but it bears repeating, especially as we head into a new year. I had a former client who always talked about wanting to lose weight. Fifteen plus years later she is still the same. In fact, she is worse off than ever. The folly she repeats is super strict dieting with tons of cardio.

If you have been reading my emails lately, you'll notice they all incorporate a Bible passage meaningful to me. I was recently ordained as a minister and I believe in the power of scripture in every aspect of life. This is why I start my emails with a message for you. Today's message is "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6

"And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?" Matthew 7:3 If you spend any time on social media you see no shortage of opinions. Everyone thinks they have the "truer truth."

Do your words match your actions? I can’t tell you how many times people say they want to get healthy, exercise regularly, and eat right… and then they literally behave in every opposite way possible.
