Your Partner

Though she belongs to a fitness club, 45-yearold Maria Cartier, director of logistics at Zymes LLC, a bioscience company in

Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, has a membership in a cyberspace health club that she uses even more. "I'm on MyFitnessPartner.com

every day," she says. "I enter my exercise routines, keep my food journal and, especially when I'm traveling, I'll do their online [video] workouts." Usually, she happily admits, in her pajamas in her hotel

room, saving an elevator trip to the fitness center. "It's very interactive," she says. "Last Thanksgiving I was doing lots of

spinning and got a congratulatory e-mail from Jay [Snyder, the founder]. It really is your partner. It spurs you on."—J.G.

Barbara Floria spoke with Jay Snyder, an American Council for Sports Medicine-certified personal trainer and president of myfitnesspartner.com in Springville, Utah.

Think about the things

you enjoyed as a child or a teenager.

Most Americans know that being more physically active benefits their health and helps them lose weight by burning calories.

However, even with this knowl-edge, the majority of American adults (up to 63 percent, accord-ing to some studies) don’t accu-mulate even an hour of moderate exercise in a week’s time.

One fitness and motivational trainer believes there’s a better way to motivate adults to get a move on and begin reaping the benefits of an active lifestyle.

“As children we rode bikes, played in the woods, or kicked a soccer ball around, not because we had to or someone told us to, but because we wanted to,” says Jay Snyder, an American Council for Sports Medicine-certified personal trainer and president of myfitnesspartner.com in Springville, Utah. “As adults, we still can tap into that spirit of play and be active because of the enjoy-ment it provides.”

That said, as a busy person with family, work, and civic responsibili-ties, how can you find time for yet another activity?

“It’s essential to take a look at and address the circumstances of your life,” says Snyder. “If you’re a parent, for example, it’s easy to put yourself at the bottom of the list. But to nurture others, you have to

nurture yourself and make your desire to swim or take a dance class as important as your child’s baseball practice.”

Snyder offers these additional ways to jump-start an active lifestyle.

Do What You Love“One of the most important ques-tions to ask yourself is, What do I love to do?” says Snyder. “And then address the but that follows. As in, I love to surf but I don’t live near an ocean, or I love to ski but I live in Florida.”

Then find ways to solve the barrier the but presents.

“For instance, I love to surf and I only get to do it once in a while because I live in Utah,” says Snyder. “But I can always be in training for surfing by strength-ening my arms and swimming laps so that when I get to the ocean, I’m in shape to do what I love.”

If you have a hard time coming up with what you enjoy doing, think about the things you enjoyed as a child or a teenager.

“Riding bikes, swimming in a river, dancing around the living room, whatever you remember—get back to that place where you did those things, not because they would help prevent heart disease, but because they were so much

fun and made you feel more alive,” says Snyder.

Drop Your Excuses“I don’t have enough time” and “I’m too busy” are two common excuses for staying stuck in a sedentary rut.

One way to determine if you’re really booked every day is to keep track of how you spend your non-work hours for a week.

Chances are, you’ll find you don’t need to add more time, just

use what you have differently.For example:

Instead of reading a magazine for an hour after work, take the dog for a walk. Reconsider your activi-

ties in civic groups. Perhaps you can still serve your favorite cause but do so in

an active capacity—by cleaning up trails instead of stuffing envelopes if you’re involved with an environ-mental organization, for example.

Solve the Problem“At work you’re creative and a prob-lem-solver,” says Snyder. “Use these skill sets to address the problem of how to be more physically active. This new lifestyle will bring balance to your life by bringing balance and strength to your body.”

If you have trouble finding the time and energy to exercise, you could be looking at the problem too seriously. Make fun your motive and you’ll never miss an opportunity to be physically active.
