Welcome to
lygaiva health and fitness
Hello, I’m Lyga.
I am Women’s Health and Fitness Coach online and in person.
Exercise to me is freedom. It’s medicine for my body and mind. I train for my future health, for my ‘old lady body’, not for a summer body. Summer bodies don’t last. Back in school, I used to skip PE classes because I felt self-conscious about how my body moved. I was stuck in my own limiting beliefs, and it affected how I felt in my own skin.
Now I understand that moving my body is essential for my overall health and well-being. It's a way to celebrate what my body can do and a form of self-care for my physical and mental health. Exercise makes me feel good, builds my strength, discipline, and mental and physical resilience which translate to all other areas of my life.
By thinking of movement as joyful and beneficial instead of a chore, I have gained a new appreciation for my body's capabilities. I now approach every opportunity to move with excitement to explore. It’s a journey of self-discovery, where I constantly push past my own limits and appreciate the amazingness of a human body.
