Looking Good Naked.

My upmost focus is on the wellness and health of my members.  Regardless of age, a lifestyle focused on making positive improvements can make the world of difference, but what about simply wanting to look good naked?  Sure, we all want to eat less processed food, maybe organic, lift some, maybe heavy, weights, run, have fun while sweating, but ultimately is there always that voice that recognizes the physical.  The smaller waist, slimmer thighs, maybe a broader back or defined triceps are appearing or becoming the driving force of your lifestyle.  The battles, the personal records and the days you just can't do it anymore; the workouts that left you breathless; the night outs you turned down for an early morning workout and the ice cream you didn’t eat, that unknowingly got you back on track. 

The confidence you gain from these changes are palpable.  Knowing that something you deemed unobtainable or even impossible is becoming, sometimes slowly, reality.  Through push and shove you did it.  One step closer to your goals.  One less handful of nuts, choosing meat and veggies over pasta, getting in that extra CrossFit WOD or taking time to recover with a yoga class. 

That organic broccoli sautéed in garlic and olive oil and grassfed beef you ate for dinner.  That extra 5 pounds you put on your deadlifts.

You pictured how good you wanted to look.  Naked.  In a tank top. On the beach or in the bedroom.  In a suit or in a dress.  It was all purely superficial.  You were driven and determined, however something happened, something unexpected and unintentional.  You are now healthy, eating a whole food diet, and following an active lifestyle.  Did you stumble upon health and wellness dressed in a fit body?

Making the right decision can drive the superficial. The result is the same when the route taken is appropriate.  They are the same path.  They go hand in hand.  Optimum wellness and a body that looks great naked.  They aren't exclusive.
