Welcome
to my new web page, "Wellness: Fitness & Training"!
Beginning with karate at the age of 10, reintroducing myself to
contact sports at the age of 33 with wrestling, I now continue my
love for training and staying fit with Boxing, Muay Thai and Pankratian.
By no means am I a professional, but I am serious about eating healthy,
staying positive and maintaining physical fitness! I eat raw food
three days a week and am Vegan the other four. Yes!, I am an advocate
for animal rights. I am also equally compassionate for healthy human
opportunities, behaviors and practices, including access to organic,
vegan and vegetarian food, environmentally safe neighborhoods and
community parks and recreation centers.
Fitness
is for everyone! It is important to begin a fitness and nutrition
program under the direction of an experienced, educated and/or trained
professional. Getting feedback and guidance is important for motivation
and personal progress. Theories and ideas about fitness and nutrition
vary and change as much as any other field or discipline. Get as
much information as possible and discover what works for you! Stay
away from fad diets and exercise methods. Give yourself 5-10 minutes
for warm-up including jogging or jumping rope and the same amount
of time for stretching. After your workout allow enough time for
cool down and stretching. Always refer to your coach and/or trainer
for guidance. Please note reading material (listed at the bottom
of this webpage) that I have found useful over the years on the
subjects of nutrition, fitness and training.
I
train at both Undisputed in North Park and Knockout Fitness Club
in Mission Valley-there are great instructors and support at both
gyms. I am currently a student in the Fitness Program at San Diego
City College. I teach Hiking and Fitness at Springfield College
where I am an Adjunct Faculty Instructor; a great place to teach!
There are many people to thank for encouraging and supporting my
physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing: Michael, Rob, Kru Mark,
Jerry, Bazooka Deluca, Brodie, Scotty, Makeda, "War Machine",
Professor Tracy Daly, Mr. Campbell, Starr, Jodie, Bob, Jan, my sister
Aletia and my mother Marilyn.

who have influenced a life of wellness! - Janice Jordan
