Healthy Weight

One of the most common requests for people coming into Mount Olympus School of Fitness is to lose weight.  Weight loss cannot be a constant goal, as you will eventually reach a healthy weight and continuing to lose weight beyond this level will decrease functionality.  Our goal is functional fitness, which indicates a healthy bodyweight.   

Olympic ice dancer Tanith Belbin benefitted from a wise coach who told her she needed to GAIN WEIGHT.  She resisted at first, but eventually changed her nutrition and fitness training, becoming stronger in the process.  Fourth Place Medal wrote a fascinating article about her and how much their skating improved.  Read it!

Stronger is better, even for Ice Dancers!
