Allison wrote our guest post yesterday entitled "Forget Your New Year's Resolutions".  Thank you, Allie.  We are excited to have words of wisdom you.  Here's Allie's brief bio:

:

Allison “Allie” Thummel was introduced to exercise as a young child, when her parents enrolled her in gymnastics with the hope of using some of her excess energy.  Allie decided in college to pursue her love of promoting fitness, where she obtained her Bachelor of Science in Health & Sports Sciences degree.  While promoting fitness to the employees of Texas Instruments, Allie completed her Master of Public Health degree, with an emphasis in Health Education and Promotion.  She is certified by the American College of Sports Medicine as a Health Fitness Instructor, and is a Certified Health Education Specialist.

Allie has promoted health and fitness for the following organizations:

University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Baylor College of Medicine/ Family Medicine Department, American Airlines, Williams, Texas Instruments, The Cooper Institute and Ceridian.  As President of Mom and Tot Fitness, she enthusiastically promotes health and fitness to young children and their parents.  Her mission is to help reduce the obesity epidemic…one family at a time, by bringing physical activity into the home. 

Allie lives in the Houston suburbs with her husband, her four-year-old boy, and her baby girl born in October.  She enjoys obtaining physical activity through teaching aerobics and training for triathlons.
