"I find joy in helping people discover the same kind of pride and passion for their health that I have found." 
"Our culture may worship youth, but I have found that aging optimally is a deeply rewarding experience." 
"The only competition that really matters is the one I have with myself. Mine is the only opinion that really counts. But, I have to earn my approval with every choice I make, and every habit I keep. Only I know if I'm a champion or not." |
ABOUT JEANNIEI am proud to be a mother of 4 and grandmother of 7, as well as a fitness and nutrition professional for over 20 years. I hold both Health Coach and Personal Trainer certifications from NCCA-accredited American Council on Exercise. I am also a certified senior class instructor, a group fitness instructor, a nutrition counselor, a Master Trainer, a strength and conditioning specialist, and a subject matter expert for NCCPT. Since age 59, I have competed in Natural Bikini bodybuilding competitions, and fitness calendar modeling as a way of expressing my belief that my age does not define my health, my fitness level, nor my sense of beauty. As a baby boomer in my mid 60's, I find myself approaching the years in which wisdom and judgement may prevail, but so do the lines of love, life and laughter. Nonetheless, my many years of healthy habits have afforded me with the confidence to present myself on a stage, as well as in front of the camera wearing nothing but a bikini. My ultimate health and fitness goal is to keep my body and and my mind in a state ready to experience the richness and fullness that begins to blossom during life's "second act". This powerful vision has enabled me to workout nearly every day, as well as to embrace the natural process of aging.

"Over the years I have learned that every healthy habit I keep is a building block that supports and sustains my body. With every healthy food I choose to consume, and every workout I complete, I know that I am building a stable structure, right down to my cells. Every time I choose to respect and love my body for what it is rather than to seek out and criticize it's short comings, I have added another brick to the emotionally sound mindset I need in order to strengthen my confidence and resolve to move forward. The power of small habits cannot be understated. Even skyscrapers are built one steel girder at a time." Jeannie Brown
