Being fit means a better quality of life
To me, quality of life is not related to how much money you make or where you go for a vacation. It's about your wellbeing and being able to do the things you want without restrictions due to ill-health or being out of shape. (Round is not a healthy shape for humans.) It's about aging gracefully and living longer without limitations.
Quality of life is body, mind and spirit. It means living with mindfulness, eating healthy and getting our physical exercise and enough sleep. Related to exercise, we were designed to move and to be strong - we just have to work at it. Real Motion is functional fitness...that means about being strong and fit for life, not about body building or training for a marathon.
Real Motion to helps you be more fit, mobile, strong and healthy for active aging and a healthy life.
What Real Motion is about
Why I created Real Motion
Life happens – you're busy and other things take priority for your time. Then you wake up one day and look in the mirror and say:"What happened to me?"
So began my fitness journey in my mid-40s to get "back in shape". But I never thought I would end up becoming a fitness instructor or that I would create the Real Motion™ Workout program.
I did it, and so can you!
- I changed – I took control of my health.
- I got fit and healthy.
No, it wasn't easy, but it has been worth it. I was so passionate about the changes it made in my life that I wanted to share it with others. So I became a fitness trainer and created these workout videos. I discovered what many other people have and will discover – If you want to be fit and strong and healthy and have a better quality of life, regardless of age, YOU CAN DO IT. And it's never too late to start.
Exercise correctly – Safe and effectively
It is important that you exercise safely using proper technique and form so you can get the full benefit from your workouts.
That's why I included all the demonstration videos in the Real Motion Workouts, and why I developed the Bear Essentials program.
How many people do you know who exercise, who complain about sore knees or backs or other joints?
I see a lot of people working out hard in the gym or in classes, but because they don't do it right, using proper form, they never improve and some get injured. Because they're not engaging the correct muscles or their form is wrong, they often strain a muscle or joint, have to stop or just quit.
You don't want that and neither do I.
The Real Motion demonstration videos show you how to do each of the 100+ exercises correctly so you can learn the exercises before you start the workouts. Don't let that number intimidate you; they aren't that hard to learn, and it gives you all the variety you need.
I've also included demonstrations on how to brace your core, how to do squats, some workout tips and more.
It's like having a Personal Trainer in your own home.
