About 2 months ago Leesa began using our Fitter U program and hasn't looked back since. She has been determined to get fitter than ever!

1. December's Client of the Month
Wrapping 2007 is our December client of the
month - Leesa Richardson.
Leesa is a happily married 45 year old Senior Account Manager and
marketing lead for a local IT firm in Evansville, Indiana.
Leesa has been active pretty much her entire life taking particular
interest in aerobic type activities such as step classes, especially
because of the social interaction they provided.
More recently she has become determined to get fit with the help of
our Fitter U program.
However, like many of us, Leesa admits to having lacked consistency
in her workouts over the years. Many times she would start and then
stop for a period and then pick up again. Sounds familiar!
About 2 months ago Leesa began using our Fitter U program and
hasn't looked back since. She has been determined to get fitter than
ever! Here's how she told it....
Personal communication from January 1, 2007:
"Hey Yuri...I just completed 5 weeks and felt GREAT... my cardio was
stronger than it has ever been ... and I dropped down one
pant's size. I felt so much better mentally and physically.
I have to say that I pushed myself farther than I ever thought I could
go or do with your encouragement in my headphones. I LOVE THE

2. STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAM! Every time I thought I could do no
more, your timing on the iPod program was perfect!
You do a wonderful job and keeping someone focused and eager to
come back for more. Then week 6 hit and it was the week of
Christmas...too funny that I received an email from you that
said..."research shows that 90% of people who begin an exercise
program fall off of it after only 6 weeks." I guess I fell right into that
research, that coupled with the challenges of the season, I got off
program, and then got the flu and have been sickly since this past
Saturday.
Although I kept up some cardio activity doing my NordicTrack at home
before I got sickly ... I didn't get but 1 work out session with you done
for week 6. So, I thought I would just start back at week 5 and begin
Phase 2 from the start again...and then tonight I decided to go back to
Phase 1 and begin the program all over again. I am 2 weeks behind
schedule of where I thought I'd be...so what's 3 more to begin with
again and feel the sense of accomplishment of starting and finishing,
beginning to end.
Yuri, I totally believe in your program and can't tell you how excited I
am to have found it. In fact, I need to know how to refer others to
you. I have told several of my friends and family about your program
and after they have seen my excitement and results in just 5 short
weeks, they want more info.
Well, I'm pumped about getting back on track tomorrow and am
already planning what I'm going to do after my 12 week Fitter U
program is up.
Thanks for all you've done to put together such an amazing program!"
What an incredible story! Thanks Leesa.

3. Leesa's story reminds us that even with the best of intentions life does
get in the way sometimes. But that doesn't matter. You just have to
pick up and keep on going - even if you have to start a little further
back then where finished off.
In soccer, it is commonly coached to move the ball backwards before
going forwards. Sometimes the options ahead of us just aren't
available at the present moment. By taking a step back before moving
forward you open new doors and can see different solutions.
The key is that you simply stay in the game and play your best!
Fitness is like life!
Here's to a great 2008!
Yuri
