Will a FUN-ctional fitness-focused program improve your appearance? Absolutely. Is that the ultimate end goal? No! FUN-ctional fitness energizes you in every moment of your life. It gives you confidence in the knowledge that you’re prepared to tackle—if not conquer—whatever physical or mental challenges that life throws at you. You’ll be able to do the things that you enjoy now, and as you age. Just as changing the oil in your car makes it run better, FUN-ctional fitness is all about tuning up your body so it can smoothly carry you through your life.

If you’re like most people who build a fitness routine into their everyday life, you’ll eventually want to complement it with other activities, like playing sports, hiking and playing with your kids. Can you see how fitness is about much more than how you look?

Beyond the physical, great fitness feeds into all aspects of your life. I’ve trained many folks who initially get into fitness to lose weight. They are spurred on by little vic-tories as they progress, and of course it’s great to see them light up with their improved results. I hear them say things like, “I’m down a dress size,” or, “I don’t remember the last time I was able to tie up my own shoes.”

But that’s only the beginning. I know my clients are on the right path when I hear them say, “Wow, I haven’t woken up with this kind of energy for 10 years,” or, “o-m-g! When I used to bring in the groceries, my back would hurt,” or, “I used to get winded just from going upstairs to get my laundry. Now I can do this stuff with ease.”

I feel pumped when I see clients put their mental energy toward achieving a partic-ular health and fitness goal, such as when par-ents come to me, wanting to be a positive role model for their kids. They know they need to be healthy and functionally fit in order to run around the park. They know their kids learn by example. And they choose to show them how to live a healthy, active life that’s full of vitality, not vanity.

The Five Fs

The Whole Life Fitness Power 30 program incorporates the Five Fs, which I like to think of as a house with four walls supporting a great big roof. The walls are: Fitness, Family, Faith
