I started really working out in college while on the track team as a pole
vaulter. I started seeing the changes in my body and it became a big part of my life
style. Not just for the physical aspect but also the mental as a stress
reliever and a way to ground myself.
I work out 5 days a week mixing in tradition strength training with
functional cross training. I love taking my interest in the outdoors and
getting out as much as possible. Hiking, climbing, telemark skiing and Mtn
biking. It feeds my mind body and spirit. I enjoy getting my clients out and
show them that a good full body workout doesn’t have to just take place
within the four walls of a gym.
I have a diet consist of fresh fruit, vegetable, wheat grass, I love my
wheat grass. I eat a lot of chicken and fish and the occasional burger.
Peanut M&M’s are my down fall. I believe in the philosophy of a life of
moderation not deprivation. Just don’t over do it.
Finding what you really enjoy doing to work your body is half the
battle. Get and stay active. Being active along with a positive attitude is
the fountain of youth as many people in Aspen have discovered.
I became interested in total Wellness back in college and really started
to move more into a holistic approach to a person health and fitness when I
became a Wellness coach in 2004 which has taking my personal training to a
different level. Looking at a persons total wellness from stress management,
weight management, strength training, cardio, nutrition and other area of a
persons life they feel falls under their Wellness umbrella.
I enjoy helping clients develop a wellness vision for themselves and working with them to
reach that vision. The Aspen Club and Spa is a great facility for a person
to reach their best.

Many of today’s nutrition recommendations – whether for weight control or for how much fat, vegetables or other foods fit in a healthy diet – are based on calorie needs. That’s a problem, since most of us apparently cannot identify our calorie needs. In a 2006 survey of 1,000 U.S. adults, 88 percent of respondents could not accurately estimate their calorie needs.
Calorie needs depend on weight, age, gender and activity level, as well as individual metabolic rate. The figures from the USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion provide a rough estimate. If you get less than 30 minutes of moderate activity daily and are age 31 to 50, women can plan on about 1,800 calories a day and men about 2,200. Those under 30 can add 200 to that figure; those over 50, subtract 200. If you get 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily and are age 31 to 50, women can eat about 2,000 calories and men 2,400. Men under 30 can add 200 (sorry women, no change); everybody over 50, subtract 200. Finally, if you are very active (60 minutes or more daily) and age 31 to 50, women can plan on 2,200 calories and men 3,000. Women under 30 can add 200 (men, sorry, no change for you); men over 50, subtract 200.
For a more accurate estimate of your recommended calories that reflects differences in height and weight, go to www.mypyramid.gov and click on MyPyramid Plan. Recalculate your needs with every five to ten pound change since calorie needs change with weight.
Recommended limits of fat consumption are based on calorie needs. If you multiply estimated calorie needs by 0.011, you will see your recommended maximum grams of saturated fat daily. People whose blood cholesterol remains high may need to reduce saturated fat below this figure. A registered dietitian can help.
How much “junk food” is reasonable in a healthy diet? The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans include a “discretionary calories allowance.” Discretionary calories represent the extra foods and drinks that supply calories without much nutritional value. The allowance is 132 discretionary calories a day for someone maintaining weight at 1,600 daily calories, and 290 discretionary calories daily for someone who needs 2,200 total calories a day.
Strategies for a balanced diet change with calorie level, too. On about 1,600 calories a day, five grains servings (equal to five slices of bread) is enough, whereas someone needing 2,200 calories a day should eat seven servings daily. Someone who needs only 1,600 calories a day can meet fruit and vegetable recommendations with seven servings daily, but someone who needs 2,200 calories or more should aim for at least ten per day.
Of course, you don’t need to know your exact calorie needs to control your weight. If losing weight is your goal, you can shift the balance between the amount of calories you consume and the amount you burn in activity. If you drop about 500 calories a day you will lose about one pound a week. You can cut 500 calories a day from what you currently eat and drink, or cut 300 calories a day and burn an additional 200 in activity. If you’ve been substantially overeating, you might even be able to create a 1,000-calorie total shift, which would lead you to lose two pounds a week. It’s easy to drop 100 calories per meal with simple changes, such as smaller portions, replacing chips or a doughnut with fruit, choosing reduced-fat products, or dropping sugar sweetened drinks.
The same principle applies to those who want to gain weight healthfully. You don’t need to stuff yourself or eat unhealthy foods. Simply add 100 calories to each of three meals and two snacks daily by choosing slightly larger portions, using a little more olive oil in your stir-fry or salad, or adding one glass of juice or a handful of nuts.
But whether you are working to lose or gain weight, or are happy with your current weight, getting at least a rough idea of your recommended calorie needs can help you interpret food labels to make better choices for a healthful diet.

Snowmass Village, Colo. — In only its fourth year, The Snowmass Wellness Experience hosts an all-star line-up of wellness speakers for this August 17-19 celebration in the Rocky Mountain resort of Snowmass Village, Colorado.
“Unlike other wellness events that are confined to the classroom or conference center, our participants are learning how to nurture the whole person indoors, outdoors and through practical, hands-on opportunities throughout the resort,” says Event Director Josh Behrman. “We’ve created a totally immersive, truly holistic lifestyle festival, from morning meditations to sampling healthy cuisine to heading out on a bike with a professional athlete.”
Over two days the Snowmass Wellness Experience, which is sponsored by Body & Soul Magazine, Vitamin Cottage, the Denver Post, the Crestwood, and the Shakti Foundation, gives participants access to top nutrition, fitness, and spirituality & science experts, including six best-selling authors. While the popular Swing into Wellness presented by Vitamin Cottage gourmet dinner celebration kicks off the weekend on Friday, distinguished keynote speakers Marianne Williamson and Dan Millman address audiences on Saturday. Williamson examines the life-affirming principles first discussed in A Course In Miracles and in her forthcoming book, while Millman explores how to align one’s life to fundamental principles at the heart of every health and healing tradition in the world.
Nearly 20 other internationally respected wellness and fitness presenters such as Dr. Pamela Peeke, Michael T. Murray, Steve Hess, Janet Stone, and Belleruth Naparstek, discuss wellness topics such as stress, super foods, gluten intolerance, the healing power of music, Anusara yoga, and the wellness programs used by NBA athletes.
This year’s event raises the bar even further by also becoming certified as an approved program for up to 13 hours of Professional Continuing Education Credits. This new designation allows professionals ranging from nurses to psychologists the opportunity to gain knowledge and credit in the workplace for attending.
“No other wellness event in the U.S. offers such a comprehensive and intimate opportunity to explore wellness issues, both for individuals and professionals,” says Marketing Director Susan Hamley. “It’s not a wellness conference, but rather the opportunity to immerse yourself in a truly life-transforming weekend in a beautiful mountain destination.”
Snowmass Village offers a wealth of activities for the mind, body & spirit including spa services at local hotels, golf, 40 miles of scenic hiking and biking trails in the surrounding Snowmass-Maroon Bells Wilderness Area, and mountain adventures such as free concerts, horseback riding, and hot air balloon rides.

Speed up your training-while still maintaining good form - and you’ll have more time to do other moves or slip in some cardio for extra calorie burning.

I was trying to figure out why I feel so wiped out… then it hits me, I missed my workout today! I have been doing personal training sessions with Dirk at the aspen club and he is on vacation this week. Since I have not worked out today I am actually feeling more tired than if I had… It’s so funny how that works… Even when I am feeling tired after a workout at least I feel good…really good… the juices are flowing and my mind is creative and stress free. Now I just feel unmotivated and uncreative. I think I’ll take a walk after work. I’m excited to have my trainer back though!

Was I who I wanted to be? Was I where I wanted to be in my life, relationships, business, fitness?
These are the thoughts that one considers on any birthday, but 40, whoa - it feels important! I knew right there a dream was found.
