How a Smart Fitness Routine is the Key to Wise Self-Care

Posted on by

Smart Fitness and Self-Care, It’s No Accident

It's important to include a smart, balanced approach to your Fitness routine-- to achieve wise Self-Care.

As I rebuild my health, I appreciate balance so much.

As I told you a few days ago, a smart, holistic-minded fitness trainer recently entered my life, through email. She requested a guest-blogging opportunity here at Taking Back Wellness. “Cool!”

As you know, it’s been hard for me to juggle this blog while I build my new site (about writing and editing). I wish she lived near me. I could use her help as I regain my own health. I think you’ll like her too.

Her name is Sheila Olson.
As I learn more about her, I like her even more. She has a very intelligent and balanced view of fitness. She had told me in the beginning that she’s pretty much all about, “…a balance between ‘holistic fitness’ and the obsessed and guilt-driven ‘fitness lifestyle.'” As a Holistic Health Coach, I appreciate her balanced, whole-person approach very much. And you’re going to hear from her in just a minute.

So here is the scoop on Shiela.
“Sheila Olson has been a personal trainer for five years. She believes the best way to achieve physical fitness and good health is to set and tackle small goals.

Learn why it's important to carefully select the right work out for your own personal style. Don't fall prey to burn-out or injury, do movement right.

She encourages her clients to stay positive, and she incorporates mindfulness practices into her sessions. She finds this helps clients reduce the internal, negative self-talk.
She created FitSheila.com to spread the word about her fitness philosophy.”

With no further ado, please join me in welcoming to Sheila Olson to our Taking Back Wellness community.

By Guest-Blogger, Sheila Olson of FitSheila.com

Balancing Your Self-Care with a Smart Fitness Routine Requires Intention
Successful self-care can be a balancing act. You must maintain both mind and body to be healthy, but the demands of a busy life can get in the way. A good exercise program can help you care for both at the same time.

How Exercise Helps Your Body and Mind

Exercise does more than just help you lose weight or build strength. Studies show that from the moment you begin working out, the activity has a positive impact on your health. Some of the benefits of a healthy workout routine include: (more…)

Balanced Fitness Expertise, Coming Soon

A Guest Blogger is Coming, Soon, to Taking Back Wellness

Taking care of Business, writing, editing, personal life, and checking off the to-do list. But somewhere in there, you've got to find time for Self-Care, Balance, and Smart Fitness Goals.

A Few Tools from My Writer/Editor Biz.

A couple of weeks ago, I was plugging away at my sizable list of weekly tasks for running my business. I was checking off my various “to-do’s:” addressing my goals, taking care of client work, building and putting business strategies in place, connecting with people, writing a couple of blogs for my other site, paying the bills, taking care of my personal and family life–Oh yeah, and checking e-mail and other correspondence. I get tired just reading the list!

Part of my Office in it’s more pristine days.

Low-and-behold, in my email, was a message from this nice gal whom I’d never met. She seemed to be a fitness trainer. As I read it, I thought, “Hey, she seems friendly, pleasant, and very ‘together.’ She comes across as knowledgeable, sensible, and interesting. She seems pretty cool.”
AND… she was inquiring about doing some guest-blogging here.

“Well, how cool is that?”
I asked a few more questions and told her to go ahead and submit an article for my review. She agreed.
The more I get to know her, the more I like her and her smart, balanced approach to fitness. Her name is Sheila Olson and you’ll “meet” her early next week. I think you’ll like her and her savvy outlook. I wish she lived near me. I believe I’d like working with her as I move toward my own fitness goals, and I regain my health.

Anyway, I’m in the editing process with her article right now. It sounds like she will be submitting more articles in the future too. So this could be the beginning of a fabulous working relationship. And you get the benefits of hearing from a fitness expert–and so do I. Gotta Love it! You’ll be hearing from her in the next couple of days. So. . . Stay tuned!
In the meantime,
Be Well,
