About Fit 4 Life, by Felicia Short, Owner

I started Fit 4 Life for several reasons. I had been struggling with my weight for several years. I tried a few of the diets that were popular. You know, the ones where all you eat is protein and no carbs, the cabbage soup diet, the diet pills, the liquid diet, just to name a few. None of them ever worked for me. The good thing was that I never stayed on those diets for more than a week or two.

I also grew tired of watching the television set only to be interrupted by a commercial selling diet food, diet pills and other so-called quick fixes. There are no quick fixes. You didn't put the weight on quickly, so why expect it to fall off quickly--especially if you are not willing to put forth any effort to make weight loss happen?

I made all kinds of excuses: I can't work out. I don't have the time. It's just baby fat (Yeah, right! My oldest child is 18 and the baby is 4.) I made excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse until one day I said no more, I am not going to live the rest of my life unhappy with the way I look and feel. I'm not going to increase my chances of diabetes, heart attack, stroke, high cholesterol and other diseases. I have children to think about. If I didn't change my bad habits, then they're going to adapt the same behaviors.

A lot of times people will say "it runs in my family". If your parents are unhealthy and didn't exercise, then the chances are you're going to mimic the same behaviors. With 119 million or 64.5% of adult Americans overweight or obese--and the numbers steadily increasing--we need to make some changes.

Based on studies performed by the ACSM(American college of sports medicine), recommendations of 15% body fat for men, and 25% body fat for women were made.

A variety of health problems may arise both when percent body fat falls below the low end of the recommended range or extends upward into the obesity range.

Our mission is to get you healthy and fit! Losing just water weight is not enough if you care about your health. After all anyone can lose water weight, but water weight is not killing us...FAT is!

Water weight doesn't make us fat...FAT does!

Don't just look great on the outside. Feel great on the inside, and,

LIVE LONGER!

I decided at a size 18, weighing over 200 pounds and obese, I was fed up and not going to be obese for the rest of my life. So guess what I did?

I started going to an exercise program, working with a personal trainer learned how to cook and eat healthier and I must say, this has been the best I've felt in a very long time.

You see, I was never the athletic type. The one who has been fit her whole life. I am a person who was just like you. A person who struggled with self esteem issues, depression, and not feeling very pretty.

So when you attend my boot camp, you are dealing with someone who has been where you are. I know your struggles and I have felt your pain.

BUT DON'T BE FOOLED!

If you want to lose weight, tone muscles, build self esteem, build muscular strength and endurance, or just maintain your current weight, then this is the place for you. You will not only look good on the outside, but more importantly, you will be healthy on the inside.
