When it comes to your body what is your purpose? What do you really want out of a fitness program?

Far too often women become very ambitious about a body improvement program only to end up on the injured reserve list.

It seems so easy to just do a popular (insane) workout until your back goes out, you have knee pain, or your shoulders hurt so much that you can't even take off your sports bra without pain.

How you work out should complement your body...not beat it up.

This is why I am endeared to over 40 woman. You need programming that keeps you fit, not injured. This is the top priority for all of my workouts.
