About me

I started lifting at fifty-one, in a cold garage with a pair of dumbbells I had bought for the price of a good dinner. I was tired of feeling that my body was something that happened to me. Three months later I could carry the shopping up the steps in one trip, and I started to tell everyone.

Now I coach other women in the same garage and online. I teach the plain things: how to warm up, how to set a weight, how to count a rep, how to rest. I use dumbbells, a bar, a bench and a chair, and I have nothing that you could not have at home. Every move has an easier version and a harder one, so you start where you are.

What I sell is simple and printed on paper or screen: a twelve week program in three phases, short guides, charts and a log. I do not sell a quick fix. I sell a plan that you can follow three days a week, and a letter on Sundays to keep you going.
