WHAT IS FORMERLYME?

Jim West

FormerlyMe is an online movement to motivate and inspire people to become the best version of themselves by showing them my journey and experience in trying a new workout and lifestyle regime every 30 days. Every post, update, and video is ‘formerly me’ as I endeavor to become the best version of myself and become FormerlyMe. Each month CP Magazine will showcase a part of my journey to becoming the best version of myself. I hope that in turn this inspires and motivates you to start your own journey as well. For this month’s story we will focus on the “Ali Wetzel Sessions” days of my journey.

In February I switched from Carey Drilling as my trainer to Ali Wetzel. Ali's training certification is from Action training. She is also certified by NASM training certification specializing in women's fitness and corrective training. Ali is an nationally qualified bikini competitor. She placed first in class E at the San Antonio Classic, 1st in class E at the Bob Cicherillo Championship, and 8th at the North American Championship National Show.

Ali conducted a mobility assessment and we quickly discovered I had serious balance issues. I just couldn't maintain balance on one leg. We focused mainly on leg strength for the Slam Dunk Challenge. She had me doing various lunges and jumping exercises. I had lots of fun in our training sessions. Now that I knew that I had a weakness in my balance I had a new goal to make that weakness into a strength. With just over 30 days left till the Slam Dunk Challenge, I still had a lot of work ahead of me. Ali showed me some exercises that would help me gain more mobility and balance. I remembered the 80;s classic Karate Kid films and how Mr. Miyagi would tell Daniel-san that balance was key. That is so true. In life as in everything else.
