Take Care of Yourself!

For those who know me well and have been taking my classes since I started teaching in 1998, you know that everything that I do is for the well being of my students.
As an example, I have adapted my schedule to make sure that the loyal students who attend every class that I teach, remain injury free by making sure I vary what classes I am teaching back to back. I have taught injured and not complained just so the show could go on and folks wouldn't miss their workout. I have taught under construction situations. I have filled in for other teachers when it wasn't convenient for myself, just to make sure that the class went on as planned. During Covid, I delivered weights to the door steps of my students (who all lived 45 minutes away from me at the time), from my own gym, so that we could keep exercising. I then took 3 days out of my life to teach about 80 seniors how to use zoom. And you know what, I would do all of it again because I am passionate about keeping people moving.
There is a but coming...
But as I prepare to turn 60 years old in 2027, I am going to be making some changes to how I operate my business. I need to prioritize my own health so that I can keep helping my friends and family and loyal clientele stay fit into their later years. Those who know and love me, have been telling me to be careful for years. Well, I am finally listening! I need to take better care of myself.
I am so lucky to have had a front row seat to watching the same people age gracefully. I have known most of my clients since they were 50 years old and during that time I have witnessed how they try new things but quickly pivot away if they feel it is not for them. They have taught me that you can say no to to something and to someone without feeling guilty, especially if it is in your best interest.
This is a thank you note to my loyal clients. I am so very grateful to have you in my life.
Thanks for your continued support.

Hi Beth;
Glad to hear you are going to start paying attention to YOU. You do so much for all of us and you've been so good to me it's time to pay attention to your own well being. You will be 60 in 2027 and I will be 85 in 2027. Much as I would like to be able to do more, I know my limitations and only do what I can and when I can. But thanks again for all you do for all of us.
Take care
Leslie♥️
