Group: New Members Greet & Meet - Introduce yourself

Hi! I'm new to the group.

skresl Posts: 16 Joined: 2003/09/13	2003/09/13, 05:50 PM Hi. I just joined the group today. I have recently made the decision to make a complete lifestyle change and I am starting at the very begining. I am so excited about reaching my goals of becoming a Certified Personal/Fitness Trainer, then eventually becoming Certified in Yoga and Pilates. I know that I have a lot of work to do physicially, as well as academically and have so much to learn along the way. So any encouragement or advice will go a long way with me. I am a very determined, disciplined, and focused individual and when I put my mind and soul into something, I do it with everything I have. I am looking forward to getting to know some of you who have similar interests and goals, as well as those of you who have been where I am today and have already reached those goals. -------------- -Stephanie Kresl \\"If you want to succeed, you should strike out on new paths rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.\\"

skresl Posts: 16 Joined: 2003/09/13	2003/09/15, 11:48 AM Thanks. I'm really excited about this. I did my first ft training workout this morning. It was tougher than I expected, with the push ups and the dips behind the back. I gues I really need to work on my chest and tricep muscles. Hope I do a little better on Wednesday. Should I be stretching certain muscles prior to my workouts? ============ Quoting from carivan: Welcome to the community of Freetrainers .

Are you also doing an 8 wk or 12 wk workout plan with freetrainers? If so, hows it going for you? I just started my first workout today. I bet I'm sore tomorrow! ============ Quoting from jefado: Welcome Stephanie :o) =============

Yes, you'll be sore tomorrow...and the day after...and the day after....<smile> After a while, the pain will subside more quickly.... Absolutely worth it... Just post any question you might have - someone here is always willing to offer friendly advice...

I have to admit, it's nice to have a place like this to help me with my goals and to keep me on track, and the ft community seems very supportive. Good luck with your goals, too! ============ Quoting from stanlee75: Big welcome Stephanie! =============
