Commit to Increasing Your Wellness IQ

As a vitality coach, I wear many hats - personal trainer, educator, motivator and friend. When I train a client, we work together to achieve her fitness goals through safe, effective programs that include cardiorespitory, strength training and flexibility. But as we train, I'm equally committed to wellness education.  In addition to hard work (and most likely a little sweat!), wellness education is a tightly integrated component of achieving your fitness goals.

Physical training with education fuels the body and sparks the mind! Wellness education will help you build momentum, strengthen your commitment and enhance your long-term success. So what can you do to increase your wellness IQ? Here's a few suggestions:

Twitter - Follow me on Twitter! Tweets detail the daily life of an Optimom. Look for mom-focused tips and thoughts on topics such as fitness, health, time management, nutrition, motivation and all kinds of random wellness tidbits.

Online Resources - We are continually expanding our Optimom Library of current news articles and reputable information resources on topics such as women's health, disease prevention, healthy eating and weight management. Clearly, there is a wealth of resources and news available on the Internet. The goal with the Optimom Library is to offer a quick resource for interesting, fun, and informative wellness-oriented news as well as fundamental wellness resources. Get comfortable in front of your computer and give yourself the time to become better educated on how to maximize your wellness state. Set a goal to learn something new everyday!

Online Resources - There is no one face that define an Optimoms. Optimoms are all around us. You're never too young or too old. You may have one, two, three, four or more children. Yikes! Or, you may be an Optimom-to-be anxiously awaiting the arrival of your first child. Regardless of your phase in life, what wach Optimom has in common is the ability and desire to lift her wellness to the next level. To learn more about the Optimom lifestyle, visit www.optimom.com.

Books - Make the commitment to yourself to read wellness-oriented books and magazines that can help you take your wellness to the next level. Sure it might be more fun to read the celebrity buzz in People magazine, but instead treat yourself to gaining motivation and practical strategies to optimizing health, boosting energy levels and looking great. Whether you are relazing at home or sitting at soccer practice, take a few minutes to fuel your wellness IQ.

And remember, don't let all this information just make you more knowledgable. If you desire to be an Optimom you need to take action!
