About Croix

Since a teenager I have been enthusiastic about health and fitness, always in the background and the foundation of my life. As I grew older, fitness would come and go with stages of my life. Like most people, other events took precedence over my health. When I approached the 30 mark of my life, my physiology began to change. The weight no longer stayed off and I was no longer the athletic shape of my early youth. This is when I became serious about health. But once again life got in the way. Does this sound familiar to you? My life was permanently changed because I was introduced to new information and tools to take control of my life.

Health and fitness is so much more than going to the gym and running on the treadmill for thirty minutes. This set me on a path with only one direction, the road of lifelong health, fitness, and balance. I continued my knowledge with certifications and studies in personal training, cardiovascular exercise, nutrition, yoga, personal development, mental skills development, life coaching, psychology, Neuro-linguistic programming, visualization, meditation, and communication. I never stop learning. I continue to learn and build on current knowledge, and explore new areas of study from our culture and abroad. I firmly believe that if you are not growing, you are dying. Growth comes from learning, believing, achieving, and contributing.

Within months of making a commitment to myself, I lost 30 pounds of bodyfat. I began toning and sculpting my physique, and eating truly healthy. It is a different “healthy” than in the mainstream beliefs. Different than the corrupt peddling of information the government promotes because of lobbyist pressure. It is a healthful way of living based on logic, balance, and time-honored knowledge. It is a plan that anyone can follow and use. I feel better now as I am approaching 40 than at any other time of my life, with more endurance and energy. My BetterBody BetterLife plan is the results of my work, studies, and commitment to an outstanding lifestyle in health, fitness, nutrition, and a balanced life.

I look forward to sharing my blog. In this blog I will share my knowledge, experiences, and dreams. I hope you do the same and post you successes in thoughts in the comments section.

Work hard, play harder, live fit, laugh often, love most. Life is a wonderful ride!
All the best ... Croix
