December Fitness Challenge Day 13

Day 13






Well don't just think about it! I'm going to have a little faith in all of you and let you choose your favorite active rest activity. Some of you may be asking what exactly is active rest? I know it sounds a little odd but active rest or recovery is recovering from exercise using a low-intensity activity which helps rid the muscles of lactic acid, which causes soreness and fatigue.



A few ideas of active rest would be walking, riding a bike, stretching, hiking, swimming or yoga.  I've included a couple yoga links that I enjoy. They are short and sweet and will help you kick off your Sunday feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Fitness isn’t one size fits all. I work with my clients to find a good balance with food and fitness and to motivate and encourage them towards a more positive, healthy, active lifestyle.

Testimonials

Tonya makes working out fun. She has a fantastic personality and is very encouraging. I've been training with her for over 6 months and have noticed a huge difference in my appearance and strength. I wish I could train with her every day! - Eleanor

Tonya's approach to fitness is creative and multifaceted - her drills are so creative that she actually makes workouts fun, tailoring sessions to my likes while still pushing me to my limit. Since starting to train with Tonya, I am stronger, more energetic and I feel like I can conquer the world! -Nina

I was a basketball coach for almost 30 years and knew how to get players in condition to play. Then I met Tonya , a knowledgeable, experienced and popular trainer. She inspired me to work out and enjoy it after a long day teaching and coaching. She is well researched and up to date with the latest conditioning and training ideas and methods. She is a professional who keeps up with her certifications and has years of experience. She has worked with clients of all ages and levels of fitness, so I would confidently send my elderly parents to her knowing they would be in good hands. She is flexible, empathetic and friendly. You KNOW you’ve had a workout and yet had a good time because of her innovative style and personality. I know of men who’ve commented that she was a taskmaster and yet kept coming back again and again. I’m near retirement age and I can say that Tonya has inspired me to continue training despite my naturally lazy attitude. She keeps it fresh and entertaining! ~Coleen O.
