Welcome!

Welcome all to Becca's "Trainer Talk".

Health and fitness, to me, is a matter of being educated, receiving motivation, and having a community to learn from and help in our personal dreams and goals. I have created this blog to satisfy those factors. I hope y'all enjoy.

A little about me:

I have been involved in Personal Training since high school. My personal training began when I was asked by a fellow friend to run with their daughter to help the daughter become more fit. Helping someone else with fitness sparked an interest in me.

In junior high I embarked on the journey of school sports. I was involved in track, cross country and basketball. I played basketball through high school and was even on a national team (AAU - Amateur Athletic Union). When I finished organized team sports, I felt a void. This void was quickly filled when I traveled up to Utah to attend college and became a personal trainer at Gold's Gym. Since that time, I have had experience training at 24hr fitness, Optimum Fitness, and currently Fabulous Living!

I have been First Aid Certified/CPR, along with 24hr Certified, NASM, and am currently wrapping up my degree in Exercise Science at Utah Valley University.

I believe Fitness is more than lifting dumbbells, running a marathon, and losing 50 pounds. Fitness encompasses a mind-body connection that when obtained can transform the way we feel about ourselves, about the world we live in, and can improve relationships.

I look forward to sharing with you all that I have learned and continually learning. Feel free to leave comments and ask questions.

Today we will end on this quote that we have all heard or read. Refresh your mind and review:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
