PERSEVERANCE: “It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves."
That statement by Sir Edmund Hillary is undoubtedly insightful in many ways. The physical challenge of fighting the extreme elements and climbing 29,035 feet to the summit of Mount Everest would be overwhelming for anyone taking that challenge. However, in order for Sir Edmund Hilary to be successful, he had to overcome anything within himself that would keep him from accomplishing his goal. At minimum, careful preparation for a huge endeavor would be required.
Did You Resolve to be Healthier & Fit in 2012?

In honor of President’s Day, once again, I am drawn to a famous quote by President John F. Kennedy: “Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.”

One of my favorite quotes is by John F. Kennedy. President Kennedy once famously stated, “There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.”
For over six years, my Fitness Together trainers and I have worked with many people of all ages. Some clients come to us in great shape, but want to work out in a goal-oriented program and within a safe and private atmosphere. However, many people come to my Fitness Together studio because they are unhealthy and overweight. A vast majority of these men & women lived many years of sedentary lifestyles. Many were fearful of taking the risk towards making healthier choices in their lives.

Excerpt from the Article: Weight Loss Tips to Help You "Lose Big" at Home
by Cheryl Forberg, RN
Award-winning chef, Nutritionist for "The Biggest Loser"
We didn't become the most obese nation in the world overnight and the damage won't be undone quickly either. However, while there may be larger cultural and economic factors that led us here as a nation, the road back to health is made up of a plethora of personal journeys, each filled with small steps individuals take each and every day.
Type 2 Diabetes Success Story
Posted: 05/04/2011
TYNGSBORO, Mass. – Can a balanced diet and exercise help overcome type 2 diabetes? That’s what Dunstable engineer Donald Whittemore is trying to prove.
Part of an observational study conducted and subsidized 50 percent by the Fitness Together Massachusetts Owners Group, Donald was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes four years ago. Though he immediately began a strict regimen of medications and diet, he continued to gain weight and feel worn down.
That’s not the case today. Six months after joining the type 2 study at Fitness Together of Tyngsboro, Donald has lost more than 30 pounds, his triglycerides have decreased, and his doctor has significantly reduced his medications.
The Fitness Together Massachusetts Owners Group, which is comprised of 43-area Fitness Together franchised locations, formed the special health study under the guidance of Joan Hill, a Certified Diabetes Educator and Nutritionist, to see how six months of resistance training and cardiovascular exercise, combined with nutritional coaching can impact type 2 diabetes. All client results will be shared with the American Diabetes Association of Eastern New England.
“We wanted to invite type 2 diabetics into our studios and offer our personal, tailored and safe exercise and nutritional guidance program to help improve their lives for the better,” said Steve Lichtman, owner of four Fitness Together franchises. “This isn’t just about losing weight. It’s about battling an illness in a smart, responsible and healthy manner.”
Donald has seen such improvement that he hopes to one day be free of insulin injections.
“My doctor has even taken me off some of my meds,” said Donald. “My AC1 has stayed down and I’m using far less insulin than before. The amount of medication I used to take in one month now lasts up to four months.”
Donald has signed up for an additional six months of training at the Tyngsboro Fitness Together studio. His goal is to keep the weight off but he also wants to lose another five pounds, placing him under 200 lbs.
"The best part of having a personal trainer is that I have someone holding me accountable and pushing me farther than I thought I could go," said Donald. "This is a whole new lifestyle for me, I even bike about 30 miles with my wife on the weekends now! But the most rewarding part is that I can keep up with my four-year-old grandson a little better!"
