Great Expectations
Do you ever say, said, think or thought these things: "I'm not thriving because I was born into the wrong environment. I'm not thriving because my parents didn't thrive, so they couldn't teach me how to do it. I'm not thriving because I was cheated, because I'm not worthy, because I didn't live the right way in a past life, because my government ignores my rights, because my husband doesn't … [Read more...]

You can't lose scared weight and keep it off. So, what is “scared” weight? Here’s the simple…. “I’ve tried EVERYTHING and I'm afraid I'm never going to change.” “Oh I can tell you ALL the diets I have tried: (proudly clearing their throat), Atkins, South Beach, Lindora, Weight Watchers, Nutri-Systems, Jenny Craig, ... and nothing, absolutely nothing has worked for me.” “I work out 7 … [Read more...]
Flexibility — Why It REALLY Matters
Okay, let’s get real, RIGHT NOW.

“Annette is a great motivator and innovator!”
"Annette is a great motivator and innovator. She never gets repetitive and is always learning and expanding her workout regimen. She can get more out of a half hour than most trainers get in an hour, and she makes it fun in the process. I have trained high school kids in water polo for about 8 years, and I have stolen many exercises from Annette because she knows how to strengthen and stretch in a … [Read more...]
Why Does Everything Hurt?
Pain. Neck pain that travels to the shoulder, which travels to the rotator cuff, possibly down to the lats (latissimus dorsi), and now your aching back (either on the left, right, middle, parts or the entire area), oh, and let us not forget the knees, arches, ankles or the bottom of your foot whistling the happy tune of plantar fasciitis .
