rged so please stay tuned to this channel!! I have an ongoing blog for my clients, readers, and followers sharing useful and fun fitness and nutrition tips. The blog entitled “DID YOU KNOW…” will consist of 3 weekly postings to help deepen your knowledge of the world of exercise and wellness and assist in motivating healthier lifestyles. I began my journey and arrived in the United States in May of 2009 from the Ukraine with nothing but excitement and a burning desire to succeed. I had to learn fluent English and create a life from scratch, 6000+ miles from home and my family and friends. I was forced to work diligently to overcome both cultural and language barriers and find a way to turn my European background into an asset, integrated into my new American life. Most challenging and rewarding was teaching myself the workings of the many systems and institutions within the United States. On numerous occasions my road came to a seeming halt. I did not know which way to turn, but I knew I had to take a risk. For they say in the Ukraine, “The one who doesn’t take risks doesn’t get to drink champagne.” I now know that is a universal truth! I had no idea where to go or what to do. However, I read in an old family book, “that in order to receive help or guidance you need to give something as well.” With the little money I had, I decided to sponsor a young Brazilian boy. I was able to help him provide food for himself and his family and live a healthier lifestyle. This action gave me an idea and direction. Since I loved exercising and eating healthy, I understood I could be an example to others and help them achieve their goals of fitness and wellness. I would be able to provide them knowledge about exercise and nutrition and the effects it would have on their body, mind and spirit – training for life, not just a six pack! My future clients could become more aware of how the brain works with the muscles and learn what processes occur during exercise and everyday life. This knowledge fascinates me and I could train clients that feel the same way. They can take their newly found knowledge with them and share it with others. Hence, Art’s Formula Fitness was founded and includes many happy clients; I look forward to hearing from you on my fitness page/blog and building a great dialogue about health and fitness!
