Triathlons purely for fun.
IN SUMMARY From the youngest age I have always been involved in sports. First it was my running, then weight training and competitive bodybuilding for many years. Then to Triathlons and Pilates ... always my running and weights, my two greatest loves. Training is but a part of the puzzle. With years of study in Nutrition and exercise physiology. Working with rehab clients to pre and post natal clients. A large portion of my work is with clients who have to be 'Camera Ready'... Fitness models, competitors and Actors. Having competed on stages all over the world since being a teenager, the conditioning aspect has always been my forte. I know from personal experience the ins and outs of dieting, I know how the body responds to the influences imposed on it and I know how to overcome the obstacles we all face. When I retired from competition I found by metabolism to be quite compromised from the years of dieting and it was then that I started with the nutrition program that I still use to this day. To achieve the extreme conditioning that was expected of me for stage there is an extreme element to the preparation, however to achieve superb conditioning that can be sustained, the systems of the body have to work in harmony. A harmonious body will burn off its excess fuel stores (fat) and it will perform at an optimal level. To achieve this we need to focus on blood sugar stabilization. The Fitness and Nutritional program I offer here on www.joannelee.com is the system I have used for over 15 years, it has allowed me to stage in shape all year round, with energy and clarity and without cravings, hunger or the dreaded emotional rollercoaster that other programs will have you suffer. It is the system I have used with all my clients and I am very excited and proud to be able to offer it online in a truly unique interactive form to anyone anywhere in the world. Another passion of mine is writing .. Please go to my 'Articles' page to read some of my published work. I try to address some of the main areas that I am asked about everyday. From the Fat Cell Theory (every parent should read .. please) to Interval Training, Metabolism and the concern over sugar in todays society.
