Dear Count on Yourself readers:
I would like to introduce myself to you and invite you to do the same.
I am a Licensed Certified Wellcoach with Wellcoaches, Inc and the ACSM. I have also been a certified personal trainer for over 25 years and a fitness director of NYC and NJ wellness programs. I hold a Masters degree from NYU in Adult Fitness Management and a BFA in Dance from the Tisch School of the Arts, also at NYU.
My dearest and greatest accomplishments in my life though are - that I am married to my wonderful husband for 24 years and have two beautiful and loving sons, ages 20 and almost 22. Why do I call this an accomplishment? In a world today where relationships are so often difficult and brief, I cherish mine. I work with women and men on success, health and wellness and how to balance what works in life with daily challenges - so I have to remind myself all the time that the whole thing takes work, TLC, flexibility and the desire to want it - it does not just happen. I make a daily effort to "walk the walk and talk the talk" but since I am human too, it is not always just right and I accept that in my clients as well. I have much to tell you, but will start with this - I have been through a lot in my 53 years giving me the wisdom and intuition, along with the training and skills to coach my clients on many levels and with many goals. I do not work at my coaching - my work is a way of life that I just happened to get paid for. Please visit my websites - http://www.risaclassiccoach.com/ - soon to be a Count on Yourself site instead - but for now it is as it is. My other site http://www.hwpn.org/ - is a professional organization that I am the founder and executive director of since 2004 - the Health & Wellness Professional Network. I look forward to hearing from you - I invite your questions on wellness, fitness, nutrition, stress and other topics of interest. Let's talk - about you. If you would like to be coached one-on-one please contact me. Wellness coaching is effective, exciting and focuses completely on your goals. The first session is always complimentary.

yeay, risa! you posted it! good job :]
As a completely disinterested reader, I am very glad that you have your priorities right.
Thank you Anna- you were so talented and patient with my lack of technological ability. To my readers, Anna is the young person who helped me launch this blog - greatly appreciated! Risa
Mark - Where would I be without my editor?
Congrats on your first blog... but you know you have really been a walking blog for many years. Your inspiration has helped me in many ways get up and moving and keep moving! Thanks and I look forward to continued inspiration. Karen
Karen:
Thank you - love the phrase a "walking blog!"....
Looking forward to sharing my motivational work with the world through blogging. It just took the help of a 13 yr old to get me moving. Tip: never underestimate the abilty of the kids!! We were sitting at my kitchen table and she said " Risa, do you have a blog?" I said "no", but I would love to - and within seconds, I had a blog - poof it was done. So, I invite my clients, friends and others to ask questions about how to motivate, how to move and to share their obstacles - so together my readers can help. My RX for today is - don't look back, you will trip over what is coming up - just look forward.
Best,
Risa
awe, Risa. don't mention it! I was glad to help you out.
