Around 1979 (as a young teenager) my journey in teaching group exercise began and continues today. From teaching high-impact, ZEN mat fusion classes, to customized programs, my passion was to always help others reach their fitness goals. Along with my twin-sister, daughter, and awesome team’s hard work, over 10,000 clients joined us on this long  Fitness Motivators ’ journey. We are humbly honored that clients trusted  us  to motivate and teach them fitness. Throughout the years, we consistently lectured women to love their bodies, their natural curves and not to push themselves to the extreme because society expects us all to look a certain way. Today, this needs to be reiterate more than ever!  We were never told what happens to a woman’s body when you constantly jump, run, or kickbox. I thought I was invincible. We all think we are invincible when we are young.   It is imperative to honor your body now . As we grow older, we need to embrace change.  Our body changes that we c

Tony loved to dance and enjoy his life! On December 9, 2016, we lost our dear brother Tony, to cancer. A brilliant mind. A true loss to our family. Our brother that we relied on for computer troubleshooting or IT questions. But wait, maybe not a loss to the entire family. Our brother’s loss was a huge gain to his wife, Danli. Let me explain.  Our brother’s wife gained over 1.2 million dollars from Tony’s death. Not bad for a young woman who worked in the rice paddy fields in China. A woman who was so desperate to leave her country that she married a man that she did not even know. Yes, an arranged marriage by our own father. Our father, who her family would eventually steal over $300,000 from a crooked business deal (but that is for another story). From the beginning, there were red flags. We tried to warn Tony. But he wanted so badly to be accepted by our father. A father who never deserved acceptance or acknowledgement. A father who did not attend his own son’s funeral. Cold?

Below are instructions on how to heal and declog from the past. I took these notes from the Developing Intuitive Abilities workshop, with presenter Patricia King-Davies (at the Canyon Ranch in Lenox MA) The Lim Twins, Little Innocent Girls RELEASE THE PAST Purchase (or pick from your garden) your favorite flowers (preferably scented) and a new candle. Write down all things that you want to let go of since childhood. Do not write down actual names, just your own feelings, emotions, sorrows, and disappointments. Once you are done with the list, take it outside for a witness ceremony. Invite ancestors, angels, and/or loved ones. Create sacred bodylines to not invite party crashers (those who brought you pain, etc.) Release your past as you burn the list. Light the new candle and put beside the tub. Prepare a bath and add at least two full water bottles of Epsom Salt (non-iodine) to create a strong solution. Add 10 drops of lavender and tea tree oil.  Soak in the tub fo

And so it goes “. . . Who inspires you? I am willing to bet that you can think of someone. Perhaps that person has made a selfless sacrifice, motivated others, overcome adversity, or made a difference in the community. . . how about showing them how much they have done so by nominating them for an Inspiration Award? . . . there’s not just one winner in this contest either. There are 70 .“   I was nominated by my beautiful twin-sister , and because of her nomination, a recipient of this generous award!   I was told by the Canyon Ranch that they are not going to do anything with the nominations that people submitted. So if you are interested in reading mine, please click here  and go to the bottom of the page. Power of Intuition Week I decided to redeem my award during the Power of Intuition event week at the Lenox MA location, solo. If you are contemplating on going to the Canyon Ranch or scheduled to go for your first time, I hope the following review will help you in

So last year I created a Bucket List for 2014. Now it is time to see if I honored it, or not! Find a Job I Love: Being self-employed full-time, or a job that I am both passionately curious about and talented at. I opened another business and loving it! My twin sister, her husband and I opened Proactive Wellness Center  and I am also teaching more classes. It is difficult at times generating the income I was once used to. However, the feeling of being my own boss and not dealing with difficult managers (that unfortunately, I had to deal with) is totally empowering!  Release the Past: Not dwell on the demons of the past, but let it go and live my life. I am living my life to the best of my abilities. The demons are not winning! I am living in the present and releasing the past. After all, you cannot move forward until you let go of the negativity, the past. Attend a Murder Mystery Dinner: Something fun that I always wanted to do! I looked several times and could not find a place! Any

Are you living your best life or just repeating your daily routine? Did you live your full potential each day in 2013? Are you being the best possible version of YOU? During the end of each year, most of us reflect back and decide to set a New Year’s resolution on something that we may have neglected, or was too busy/non-motivating to accomplish. A New Year, A New Me. Unfortunately, most New Year’s resolution fails within the first week and only 8% will actually stick to them. I never made a New Year’s resolution. What I did do was set goals throughout my life. One of the most important goal was to create an original fitness program. An owner of a fitness company that I worked for told me that my idea would not succeed when I asked her to consider adding it to her program. That was 25 years ago when I started Fitness Motivators. Back in the 80s, classes consisted of high-impact aerobics where participants exercised at their maximum heart rate and I witnessed countless times of
