Title: This is Your Life. Make it the Best You Can.
DiscoverLFA is a new website designed to help encourage you to take on new challenges and pursue your fitness goals while at the same time connecting you with top personal trainers. It strives to offer encouragement to overcome what you feel are your personal limitations in all areas.
It has an supportive manifesto that is comprised of three statements:
1. We believe the world can be a better place if people had a better way to discover a meaningful active and healthy lifestyle.
Imagine a world where all people were living their healthiest lives. It's no secret that eating well and having an active lifestyle improves

Having someone going through the experience of improving your health not only holds you accountable, it also motivates and inspires you to do more and overcome these limitations that you have on yourself. By having a community of support, it encourages you to go further and push yourself to succeed in challenges that you never thought possible to complete before.
3. We believe that we are successful when we help others overcome their perceived limitations.
When you place limitations on yourself, you are limiting your true potential. Say you had a knee injury in the past so you use that as an excuse not to push yourself further. There may be certain things that you can't do because of this injury, but you can always substitute something else in place of it. You don't need to give up all together. If running is a bad idea and hard on your knees, you can always do elliptical or bike. By opening your mind up to other alternatives, you'll see that your limitations really aren't as limiting as you thought they were!
If people were to simply encourage each other more and tear each other down less, the world would be a much better and happier place for everyone. This is what DiscoverLFA is striving to do — encourage everyone to live better and to the

    Reflection On SPMT 600

    The fears that I had regarding SPMT 600 delayed my registering for this class for well over a year and in hindsight, I was so silly in doing so. My academic plan had another course listed as the first course which I was quite excited to take and when I realized it was not going to be available in the near future, with an incredible amount of hesitation, I pressed send and enrolled in this course.

I have truly enjoyed this course and a little disappointed in myself for delaying taking this course but, if I put on my SPMT 600 hat and look at what I have learned from Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory, now was the right time to be in…

Some foods are nutritious and needed by our bodies. We occasionally indulge in things that make us feel good like chocolate, ice cream, or wine. People must find the right mix of nutritious and indulgences for their bodies to find their version of health.…

The reasons for our obsession with health, according to Furedi, is because of the concept of medicalization, the belief that illness is as normal as health, it’s part of the human experience, and the politicization of health. Our obsession with health begins with our need to blame every one of our human characteristics on a medical condition whether it be shyness or love sickness. We have come to the conclusion that illness is as normal as being healthy because it has become if we are not in a state of wellness, then we are considered to be ill. Health has become a part of the human experience because it guides us as to what we should eat, how we should look, and how we should behave.…
