Hi, I’m Susan Dawson-Cook, M.S. I’ve been a fitness professional for 30 years. I was an AFAA-certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor and I earned my RYT 200 Yoga Alliance certification in Ashtanga yoga in 2016. I have published articles in dozens of magazines and online publications over the years including American Fitness, Swimmer, Desert Leaf, Arizona Daily Star, Romance Writers Report, and Desert Leaf. I currently teach yoga in the San Carlos, Mexico community where I spend much of the year teaching yoga, leading yoga retreats, writing, and swimming in the Sea of Cortez with the dolphins. I also compete in U.S. Masters swimming and have made the national top 10 list in numerous events in recent years.
In March, 2011, I launched my first DVD, Personal Best Stretch: Move Better Than Ever. Since then, I published four books including Fitter Than Ever at 40 and Beyond, Fitter Than Ever at 50 and Beyond, Swimming with Dolphins, and Slim for Life Secrets. I have recorded several meditations on the Insight Timer App.
Below are three WebMD articles, written by Sarah Ludwig Rausch and published in 2020, where I was interviewed for advice on setting and meeting goals, training at home, adhering to exercise, starting a fitness plan for weight loss. I hope you enjoy them.
