Never Judgmental - Always Inspiring

Never Judgmental - Always Inspiring
Amanda Lynn Mayhew (Be Real - Be Strong - Be You)

From motorcycles to the take-down of a 10-point buck, Amanda Lynn Mayhew proves that nothing can stop you from living life the way you want to. She is sending this message and making a lot of noise in Ontario, Canada.

This young woman has definitely assisted on putting Manitouwadge, the small Northern Ontario town that she grew up in, on the map. Now residing in Elmira, Ontario, Amanda Lynn has full access to the great outdoors with her favourite activities (including hunting, fishing, and off-road ATVing) almost in her own backyard. She can enjoy her outdoor lifestyle while continuing to focus on making sure the latest edition of her ad free articles on her online magazine is released on time. Amanda Lynn has always found creative ways to incorporate her hobbies into her fitness and health awareness publication and life; it is definitely eye-catching and always worth a second look! This magazine is free of advertisements - it engages readers to share personal fitness goals and achievements with each other, demonstrating that anyone can achieve what they put their mind to, regardless of their personal challenges. The magazine and accompanying website is filled with real-life stories, issues and people, including Amanda Lynn's advocacy for the Total Gym, a piece of exercise equipment she has used since 1999 and now contributes video blogs for the totalgym.com website.

Growing up immersed in nature fostered Amanda’s enthusiasm for health and wellness. Amanda Lynn fused this enthusiasm with her strong entrepreneurial spirit in the creation of Fytness Fanatik magazine, tapping into social networking resources to launch her health and wellness ad-free publication. Fytness Fanatik was founded in 2002 by Amanda Lynn Mayhew. She had built up and maintained her personal fitness level following the diagnosis of a thyroid disorder, Graves Disease (also living with asthma) and noticed that sharing her personal habits with friends began to influence their behaviour. Individuals would tell her that her experiences were very motivating, so she decided to use this inspiration to help others. She developed a website and called on her network on friends and family for support in creating Fytness Fanatiks. www.fytnessfanatik.com The unique magazine features fitness merged with outdoor life in all types of genres. Amanda has developed a community and sustained the magazine through skilful use of the social media. Her latest project, Fit for Hunt, demonstrates how being fit is beneficial to the outdoors enthusiast. Amanda Lynn also created the Daily Discipline (a 3 - 5 minute workout that you receive through the facebook community that allows you to perform exercises anywhere, anytime).

Always on the lookout for a great new story, Amanda Lynn has uncovered some amazing articles and has helped many people. She has featured bands like Dry County, and West Memphis Suicide, fitness motivator Leslie Sansone, Fitness Pro Mindi O'Brien and even famous Canadian hunters like Thomas Pigeon. This magazine shows that it is just as diverse as Amanda Lynn is herself. The magazine, like its editor is never judgmental, never criticizing and always willing to give anything and anyone a chance.

While Amanda’s audience is ensnared by her contagious fun attitude, this well-grounded business woman’s nomination for the 2010 & 2011 Oktoberfest Women of the Year was a testament to her professionalism and confident flair. As founder/organizer of the Motorcycle Ride for Progeria (an illness she has supported since the launch of the magazine that is described as a fatal, rapid aging disease that affects children, www.progeriaresearch.org) and the Flurries Snowmobile Ride for M.S., Amanda devotes considerable personal time to volunteer work. With many accomplishments behind her and a background in marketing, graphics and web design, advertising, television, radio, communication and social media skills she doesn't stop, but still finds the time to spend with her 3 boys and her husband.

Currently you can find Amanda Lynn knee deep in the bush with her rifle working on her newest venture, Backwoods Bones with her husband, Craig where passion for the hunt fuels the adventurous husband and wife team, in their quest to promote this great Canadian heritage. Sharing their experience with small and large game, including moose, bear, turkey, wolf and more they are inspiring veteran hunters to return to the Backwoods. Men, women and children are being drawn to the world of this time-honoured tradition. Backwoods Bones presents hunting in a fun and inviting light, expanding the market like never before, but her passion is fitness and health awareness and letting people know they are not alone.

Testimonials:
"Amanda Lynn, I have never met anyone quite like you, to give all that you do to others, even strangers is remarkable and respectable. You are down to earth, funny and in all, still a very personable and beautiful woman, inside and out. I am glad to have met you, and await what happens in your future." - Your fan for life.. (February, 2011)

"You are the most diverse person I have ever known. You're professional in business suits while on TV, & at the Woman of the Year Gala, yet you are sexy in jeans & leather while out on a photo shoot. You aren't too pretty to ride, or hunt!! Tattooed but wouldn't know it. A mother of 3 talented young men. You're by far, the most inspirational, AMBITIOUS person I have ever come across. Don't lose that."

Shaun de Jager: "If you recall, I once said in a public speech (in Dover), that you were one of the strongest & most inspiring women that I have ever met. Never once would I revoke that statement because time & time again you dig in your heels & grab the bull by the horns. Sometimes the bull tosses you...sometimes you toss the bull but no matter what, you stand up, dust your self off & get ready for the next one."

Ride for Progeria Documentary

2011-08-06T11:09:00.000-04:00

Everyone always asks me why I got involved with the Progeria Research Foundation, and now you can hear and see why! An incredible video put together by Saner Media in Elmira, ON. Amazing footage and great antics.

6 Great Travelling Exercises

2011-07-12T08:09:00.002-04:00

Wherever you’re at, exercises can go with you. Here are 6 key exercises you can do this summer anywhere at anytime without needing a gym. Some of these exercises require the use of a simple but, effective rubber band that’s easy to pack next to that yellow bikini.

Reverse lunges with shoulder press; Using the rubber band, place the middle underneath your left foot, and lunge back with your right as you shoulder press up for a count of 10. Reverse legs, and repeat 3 times.
Upright rows; Place rubber band underneath one foot, palm of fists facing down and elbows out, and pull up under your chin for a count of 10 and repeat 3 times. The wider your feet are in this exercise, the more resistance you will have.
Core Resistance; For this exercise you will have to tie one end of your rubber band to a pole, or allow your partner to hold onto it. Take one end and standing beside the rubber band and pull while twisting your abdomen and holding for a count of 3. Repeat for a count ten and then change sides.
Push ups with leg lifts; Simple. Push up, come down, hold and lift right leg up, repeat and lift left leg up. Repeat as many times as you can.
Burpees; Great for over eaters on vacation! Start in standing position, squat down, hands on the floor, and throw legs out behind you, then squat and return to standing position. Repeat as many times as you can.
Jumping jacks; Always fun, convenient, and you can do this anywhere. The best part is, that it gets your heart moving for a total body work out in just a few quick minutes.

These are my travelling exercises to keep you pumped while on vacation. Have a great trip!

Never Judgemental - Always Inspiring‏

2011-03-17T14:45:00.000-04:00

Amanda Lynn Hare has been making quite a ruckus with her no garbage fitness and health awareness magazine here in the K-W area. Involved in many events, fundraisers and local happenings in the area are one of her many past times. The magazine consists of letting people know that because they are dealing with something that is not normal that there is still a way you can enjoy the passion of your life, in your life. Featuring 'People to Admire' and local bands and musicians (Dry County, West Memphis Suicide, The Creekwater Junkies, and her own son, Logan Alexander Mayhew), Amanda Lynn shows that these people are inspiring towards others and they don't give up.

Amanda Lynn has suffered from Grave's Disease and Asthma and has managed to live her passion up to great heights. Always wanting to become a model, a fitness model wasn't something she was sure she could ever pursue but she prover herself wrong. Amanda Lynn is concentrating on beating the odds and showing others how it is done.

Since Amanda Lynn & her Fanatiks have a variety of hobbies they like to participate in, Amanda Lynn finds a way to tie it all in together into the magazine. The Ride for Progeria (a fatal, rare rapid aging disease) is a passion of Amanda Lynn's motorcycle love and the support of Progeria of which affects her step-son, and also made Canadian History in 2009. The Ride for M.S. (mutliple sclerosis) is Amanda Lynn and her Fanatiks snowmobiling passion and support of many of her friends that deal with M.S.

You can find Amanda Lynn line dancing in the local country bars, zooming past you on a motorcycle, dressed up in a gown attending a local event or up to her knees in mud during deer hunting season. Always inspiring, always living life to her fullest. Amanda Lynn joined the rank of all inspiring women who were nominated for Woman of the Year through the K-W Oktberfest 2010.

The magazine is available online taking a diverse variety of contributors submissions monthly. You can be sure you will run across many people you know. Submissions include real life success stories, photos, anytime anywhere exercises, and much more..This is also where you can sign up for the ever popular Daily Discipline.

Resistance

2011-03-17T10:22:00.000-04:00

Resistance training elevates your metabolism for up to 48 hours afterward. So it pays fat-loss dividends long after your workout ends. And lifting weights is highly underrated for burning calories during your session, too.

Stomp the pavement

2010-06-23T08:39:00.001-04:00

Walking at a moderate pace for 30-60 minutes burns stored fat and can build muscle to speed up your metabolism. Walking an hour a day is also associated with cutting your risk of heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes and stroke. Grab your partner, husband, dog, girlfriend, kids, and get out there and stomp your feet to the pavement! Half way through, drop and do ten push ups, keep it interesting.

May's Poem of the Month

2010-04-25T13:25:00.000-04:00

You can find physical fitness in each and every day,

Whether you are doing the dishes or waxing your sleigh.

It's as easy as one, two, three,

To take time for some crunches or climb a tree.

Jump up, jump back, and side to side,

Step up, dance and then glide.

Watch your portions, lean them out,

Eat your veggies, don't go without.

Feedback Hits the Spot

2010-01-13T07:23:00.000-05:00

Well, today I asked for a little bit of feedback about the magazine that I created over 3 years ago, and this was a response I had in my email. I never expected anything like this to ever come out of my passion for helping myself and others. I never expected for people to look to me for advice or look up to me as a role model. I never planned any of this, it was just the way everything took off. New and creative ideas happen on a weekly basis. I love being involved with new opportunities to raise awareness with diseases and such that strike close to home. It is a great feeling when someone comes back to me and says 'Thank you'. Take time to find yourself and have FUN!

"Well you know me I am crazy over Fytness Fanatik because it is exactly what it says it is.. Motivational and inspirational.. I mentioned in a past edition how much I adore it and I tell ALL my friends and everyone takes a turn reading it. I have extra copies at my house in case anyone wants to take one home or to their work. My girlfriends like the recipes, the facts, the real stories, the real people, the awareness of battles in people lives, from struggles to success stories, daily disciplines and so much more. SInce I started reading the magazine 3 months ago I did not have a fitness plan in sight. Now, I am more eager than ever to get fit, shape up and firm. Even if you exercise 5 minutes a day it is a beginning, with no beginning there is no journey, no destination, no goal. My motto is If you believe, you can achieve and I am on my way no matter how long it takes, little by little, bit by bit but I will succeed! .. The daily discipline is what got me started. I saw the goal and was up for the challenge. I did what I could and documented it and then daily tried to accomplish more and more and more. I feel very satisfied and actually want to continue. The opportunities are endless and with Amanda Lynn behind the scenes I feel many new adventures to come. My friends are eager to join me in a Fytness challenge too. If it wasn't for Fytness Fanatik this would not even have been a topic of conversation. One happy subscriber right here. Thanks Amanda Lynn"

Turning Hobby into Passion by Julie Hryniewicz-Hache

2009-11-16T09:53:00.000-05:00

"Fytness Fanatik" was founded in 2002 by Amanda Lynn Mayhew. She had been working out on her own, following the diagnosis of a thyroid disorder, and noticed that sharing her personal habits with friends began to influence their behaviour. People would tell her that her experiences were very motivating, so she decided to use this influence to help others. Amanda Lynn developed a website, and called on her network of friends and family for support in creating the Fytness Fanatiks.

See www.FytnessFanatik.com for more about all the Fanatiks...

This group of people are engaged in sharing their own personal fitness goals and achievements with others, in order to demonstrate that anyone can achieve what they put their mind to, regardless of their current size, age, or illness.

With regular updates,the website (www.FytnessFanatik.com) constantly features fresh and interesting advice and information. Amanda Lynn has also launched her own collection of fitness apparel which feature unique motivational slogans. The clothing is a great way to keep motivated and show people your strength and dedication, and to spread the "fitness is for everyone" message.

The launch of Fytness Fanatik the Magazine was in November 2006. Fytness Fanatik magazine is filled with real life stories, real life issues, and real people. Amanda Lynn welcomes and encourages all ideas from new and continuing contributors.

May's Poem of the Month

You can find physical fitness in each and every day,

Whether you are doing the dishes or waxing your sleigh.

It's as easy as one, two, three,

To take time for some crunches or climb a tree.

Jump up, jump back, and side to side,

Step up, dance and then glide.

Watch your portions, lean them out,

Eat your veggies, don't go without.
