My name is Yael Rodriguez. I am a personal trainer and health coach. After I finished high school, I discovered a passion for helping both myself and others lead a healthy lifestyle. I understood that an education is necessary for the actualization of my passion. I graduated from Wingate Institute for Physical Education and Sports in 2006 (the largest school in Israel for physical education) as a personal trainer. I also took the following courses: kids and sport, sport and core after birth, nutrition, sport's nutrition.
My passion for a healthy lifestyle directly correlates to my childhood. As a child, I was overweight; by far the biggest in my class. Making friends was obviously a struggle, and it was not rare to hear other kids laugh at me and make ugly comments. Once I reached age fourteen, I felt I had suffered enough. I demanded a serious physical change from myself and was willing to do anything! It took time to convince my mother for her permission to sign me up to the gym, as I was underage to do so myself, but finally she allowed.
I discovered a passion. I knew change would take time but at least I began. After awhile I was able to lose half my body weight, which was 110 lbs. I ate two meals a day and eventually the obsession with losing weight lead me to become anorexic.
I did not look or feel healthy. I struggled between not eating enough and binge eating. Then I tried every diet, pill, or method possible. My eating sprouted from more of an emotional need than a physical.
Time after, I got married and had four beautiful children (B”H). I gained weight from the pregnancies and nursing and then lost; nothing was stable. Having children changed my life. I immediately realized the importance of being there for them. I needed to gather myself together and be emotionally stable. My kids deserve better and as their mother, so do I. Ever since, I focused on my mental being just as much as my physical. This mindset transformation allows for failure as long as you get up.
It reminds you that we are human and not machines. It becomes a lifestyle and not a daily restriction. The drastic change that occurred in my life was amazing and I want to make it a mission sharing it with other women. If you give yourself love, and take care of your needs, the love to others becomes much greater. I know what it means to not love your body or to not feel your best – Luckily, I can help YOU! Each of us is a wonder woman who deserves to be the BEST she can be.

Using resistance bands, as part of your stretches can help you work on muscles that are difficult or even impossible to isolate if you're just using a bench or wall to stretch against.

Fierce FitBands is perfect for anyone looking for a total body gym that you can set up quickly and take anywhere.

The more ‘free’ you get with your weights, the more effort you need to put in to controlling your movements to make sure you’re doing them right.

There is a lot more movement involved when using resistance bands compared to more traditional style exercises.
