Facebook.  I ❤ it.  I hate it.  It sucks me in & yet it’s my best marketing tool for my Fitness Biz.  All those emoticons, the slang, the appropriate, the helpful posts, the inappropriate posts, the drama, watching someone have a melt down, and then others celebrate their child’s success; it’s the world we live in these days.  My business page, facebook.com/YourFitnessInfo is a way for me to not only market myself, but allows the person following me to get a glimpse into my life and struggles as  Mom trying to stay fit and accomplish fitness related goals. The main thing I want people to get from my facebook biz page, is a better understanding of their body, how it works, and how to treat it well so that they get the MOST benefit from a healthy life/body.  The more people I reach, the more I can educate.  And…I truly believe that ‘Education is Key.’  When you are educated, you can make better choices, feed your body the way it needs, and participate in life, vs. sitting on the sidelines and just watching.  Many people just watch.  They have no idea what to buy at the grocery, let alone how to make a healthy meal.  They grew up in a home where mashed potatoes, gravy, and noodles was a staple.  (I did too!!)  But listen…..those ‘days’ are long gone.  Kids were active then and fruits had more nutrition than they do these days.  Now, kids play hand held games, rarely use the imagination, being outside is bothersome when they can chill in a cool, air controlled house, and they eat POORLY!  Constant snacks of chips, crackers, granola bars, and MAYBE a piece of fruit.  (I can feel myself getting onto a soap box, and I don’t want to do that….. for now).

Where was I?  Oh….that’s right, education.

I enjoy simply teaching the reader a little more about carbs/protein/fat intake on a daily basis or how to modify exercises so they have no excuses.  It’s my thing and I love it.  I always say, “Simple changes = big results” and to ‘BELIEVE‘ in the journey. (I even had orange wristbands made to give people with the word ‘BELIEVE’ on it as a way to say focused!)
Sometimes, on my facebook page, I have to show some tough love, and other times I get to have fun with slightly inappropriate posts.  (Relax, nothing too bad!)  But, I posted something the other day that I believe more people should read.  It’s a hard truth and people need to realize that Obesity is a growing trend.  It saddens me because there is no need for it.  No need for adult men to look 7 months pregnant, women to have a waist line as big as a hula-hoop or children unable play outdoors because they get tired too easily.  I feel it important to share this site with you and allow you read it too. If it can help just ONE person, then I am a happy lady!! It’s written by a doctor and is titled “FAT CITY – what can stop Obesity.”
