I’ve been in the United States Army for seven years. But it didn’t take me nearly as long to learn this golden rule: if you take care of your soldiers they, in turn, will take care of you.

Increasingly Corporate America is embracing this same concept by getting serious about health and wellness programs. Companies of all sizes have realized the many benefits of educating and coaching their employees on how to live healthier lifestyles. With the integration of concepts designed to focus on the importance of maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle, employees are:

• more attentive
• experiencing increased energy throughout the day
• missing work less due to health related issues
• bonding with their co-workers
• managing stress better

More than once when I felt like my body was completely worn down, my drill sergeant told me that my brain was more powerful than my body and that I could will myself into completing the physical task at hand. Indeed, there is a great amount of research that supports this premise. So it comes to follow that when companies make the effort to implement a quality, comprehensive health and wellness program that extends beyond a mere lifestyle assessment to include group fitness programs, promote eating right and to provide wellness coaching to assist with management of daily stress, their employees will feel taken care of and will, in turn, repay the investment in a variety of ways.

One of those ways is financial. Wellness Councils of America reports that at a minimum, when companies implement a wellness program it will pay for itself. Robust wellness programs that have the support and participation of senior management can earn a return of as much as seven times the company’s initial investment.

There is an informed advantage of being proactive by developing a health and wellness program at your place of business. Too many of us have spent too many years not paying enough attention to diet and exercise and the amount of stress in our lives. Take care of your soldiers. Take care of yourself. Be fit. Eat right. Think well.

I would like to invite everyone to come join me this, and every, Friday in April at 3:00 in Old Town in front of the Museum of World Treasures for a free workout session. Please bring water, a towel and a positive attitude. Let’s have fun and start the weekend off right.

 Well as stated today was a great day at the gym.  All but 1 of my students showed up for my personal training class today at 8:30 and most of them passed there quiz!  We are having a big midterm this Friday so let’s hope they keep up the great job witch I know they will.      

After school I headed down to old town where me and a couple buddy’s have a gym that we train out of!  (208 S. Laura, Ste 2, Wichita, KS)   stop by anytime after 1pm and say hi! 

I was able to get in good 45 min yoga routine before my first client Dom showed up.  Boy he had a great cardio and ab work out and I think he enjoyed hitting the heavy bag because my shoulder is sore as can be.   Awesome job today DOM, keep up the great work and I hope you and the wify have fun in Colorado!!!! 

 Next came my two newest clients and these wonderful lady’s did NOT look excited to be there but when it was all said and done they were glad they  dragged their butts there!!!  Great job lady’s I promise “the harder you work now the better you well look and feel later”!!!   

And final Luke came in, now this guys a beast who’s just trying to get ready for summer.  I really think he is just pushing himself hard because his wife is pregnant and he doesn’t want to gain any of that sympathy weight!   Oh and his former college roommate is also training with me so that might be another reason he’s training so hard!  Either way keep up the great job bro, T-shirt weather will be here before you know it and then you can show off those pop eye arms or yours!

I have just launched this website to promote my business and to help people reach their personal fitness goals. If you have any questions or would like to talk about how I can help you out, please feel free to email me.
