PROGRAMS & CLASSES
Strength Training Class
The strength training class teach you how to properly use free weights (dumbbells) and stability balls to build your muscle mass and tone your body. Lifting weights will NOT make you bulky AND it will help prevent osteoporosis and will make losing weight easier!
If you’re already attending Zumba or doing some other type of Cardio work, the Strength Training Class is a perfect complement to either of those…
Our next eight-week session begins on Tuesday, January 10th (I will be out of town on Monday, the 9th, so this week ONLY, we will meet on Tuesday and Thursday). The class will meet for one hour on Monday and Thursday mornings, from 10:00-11:00 AM at the Augusta Nazarene Church Fellowship Hall. Class members commit to an 8-week program and the cost is $100.00 ($6.25 per class), payable in full or in two payments of $50.00 each. You may also use a credit card through PayPal.
Please contact Lisa to REGISTER by 1/06/12 as there is a class size maximum.
Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Workshop
Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Workshops combine the benefits of an innovative non-diet approach with the interaction, motivation and support of a group. In the workshop, you learn to be in charge of your eating instead of feeling out of control, how to eat the foods you love without overeating or guilt, how to increase your metabolism and how to eat healthier without depriving yourself.
*WARNING: This class is not for the faint of heart or those looking for a quick fix! It is for the woman who is FINALLY finished with dieting. The only rule in this program that you are ready to trust your own body and intuition about food! The concepts are simple AND implementing those concepts takes introspection about what is triggering your eating and the willingness to be mindful enough to make the choices that best serve you. Are you ready for a new relationship with food…and yourself?
The next eight-week Am I Hungry? workshop has not been scheduled.

I have to say that the knowledge that I gained in both of the classes (Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Workshop & An Organic Approach to Cultivating the Authentic You) is still a used/useful tool for me learning concepts that in my 60s I had not come across before and others that I relearned. They are positive and well researched tools of information, not just some hype to “get you in”. I reuse the information gained frequently.
Thank you, Maryalis! I’m glad that you’ve been able to incorporate these concepts into your daily life. :-)
I joined the Am I Hungry? class because I make chocolates and gain 20-25 pounds every year. I am close to 60 and realized it was harder to lose that weight as I got older. I needed to enjoy the chocolates without over-consumption. I have also been a dieter since my teens so I felt I needed to break that cycle, also. This program has been the answer to all my eating woes. I can eat what my body needs to function and not feel deprived.
I started the strength training class in May because a bone density test revealed osteoporosis. I’m not a big fan of prescription medication so I’m doing the strength training to avoid that. I have lost inches and feel like I’m in the best physical shape of my life. I actually enjoy the class. We have a different routine every month so it keeps from getting boring. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable about the exercises that are suitable for every physical condition, even injuries.
Thanks, Marie! You’re right about breaking the dieting cycle. The Am I Hungry? program is designed to help re-connect a person with her natural hunger rhythms, instead of relying on the rules and restrictions of a diet . And, the program helps to address some of the underlying issues around a woman’s relationship with food. I’m glad it’s been of help to you! And, also glad you’re finding benefit from the strength training class, as well. Yes, weight training is GREAT for helping to reverse osteoporosis and as we gain muscle, we also speed up our metabolism, which also aids in weight loss.
