There is physical movement involved with everything that we do from the time that we push ourselves out of bed every morning. Quality of life includes being able to do daily activities without pain or struggle. You don’t want to have to worry about throwing your back out while reaching for a dish on the top shelf. And, bringing in 3 to 4 bags of groceries from the car shouldn’t require more than two trips. What can we do in our workouts to ensure a higher quality of life?

You see the ads everywhere. How to get a Rockin’ Booty or Hot Abs. And while wanting an attractive physical appearance has been present for me, it hasn’t been my main motivation to exercise.

This has helped me to consistently maintain a successful workout regimen, and I have learned to love exercise.

In the last 20 years, I have spent thousands of hours in Physical Fitness facilities internationally. The facilities have been pretty diverse, ranging from gyms on military bases, 24 Hour Fitness facilities, Gold’s Gym, Sport and Country club facilities, Orange Theory gyms, Spin Studios, Dance gyms, Boutique gyms, and more. And what I recently realized is that I was never trained on etiquette until I attended ToBeRe… in Scottsdale, AZ. Sure, there have been rules such as throw away your trash and wipe down your equipment posted on a few walls.
