he road to becoming physically fit
and healthy is a long one — in fact
a never-ending one, according to
personal trainer Kaidee Weaver.
“Health needs to be a part of our life
for the rest of our life,” Weaver, a Can-
yon City resident, said. “In order to take
care of our body, we have to pay atten-
tion to what we’re eating, and we have
to move, move, move — it never stops.
It’s a continual process.”
Weaver has been a kickboxing trainer
for more than eight years and a personal

trainer for six.
The benefits of staying fit are worth
the effort, she said, and it’s not about
vanity.
Benefits include strength of body,
flexibility, coordination, balance, and a
blast of endorphins for mood-boosting
energy.
“A body in motion stays in motion,”
she said.
For people just starting a healthier
lifestyle, Weaver said, don’t be over-
whelmed.
“Keep it simple,” she said.
Weaver said being in the business of
leading people to a healthier lifestyle
has been rewarding.
“I’m thankful to be able to help peo-
ple stay healthy and avoid health prob-
lems,” she said.
She said taking care of the body with
proper nutrition and fitness is not only
good for the body, but also the mind.
“It is mental and physical help,” she
said. “You’re one workout away from a
good mood.”
Weaver holds kickboxing classes
Mondays in Prairie City and Tuesdays
and Thursdays in John Day, as well as
monthly weigh-ins to track progress.
