Margaret Levinson, ACE, CPT

                 
What takes you to 40 is not what takes you to 80.

My name is Margaret and I feel fit. Not fit for my age, medical history,
gene pool, stress levels or lifestyle, but fit period. However this was
not always so.

Although reasonably active growing up in Wisconsin, I was by no means
athletic. I started running in my 20s and kept to a regular schedule
until a severe hip injury forced me to stop in my 40s. I then took up 
cycling, which I continue to this day, riding when possible outdoors and 
teaching indoors. 

Yet there seemed to be something missing.  That coveted endorphin high 
can take you only so far. An impromptu visit to a trainer specializing in 
conditioning Olympic and other athletes provided the link I was seeking.  

After personally experiencing the trainer's technique, I emerged 
transformed, feeling like myself only different - stronger physically, 
but even more so within.  

This transformation proved to be lasting, and in fact builds as the 
stretching work continues. Thus began a quest to share this profound 
experience with others interested in attaining new levels of fitness.

Many hours of training and study later, I now await the opportunity to 
expand your universe with a deceptively simple technique.  This is not 
for everyone,  only for those who are open to change -- body, mind and spirit.

It is not the outer appearance of the body that is the driving force in my 
program, although you may well be pleasantly surprised.  A great deal of the 
practice is internal. To restore equilibrium, we focus on aspects sometimes 
neglected in the old fitness model:  

o	endurance
o	cardiovascular efficiency
o	respiratory capacity
o	mindfulness 
o	balance
o	flexibility

My practice is at the crossroads of fitness and healing, and my method 
revolves around a regimen designed to expand the quality of life.  I am a 
gatherer of tools for promoting and enhancing vitality and this process never 
stops.  Please allow me to share these tools with you.

Together we will explore how what you put into your body in terms of 
nutrition makes the difference between feeling your best or not so good.  
We will examine how approaching life from a slightly different perspective can 
alter things for the better.  We will discover how to make incremental changes 
day by day to effect positive changes in your health and well-being.
