About Jinifit
Jinifit is the brainchild of 18-year fitness industry veteran, Jini Cicero. She is a firm believer in a holistic approach to exercise and fitness which integrates the right kind of exercise, with the right kind of nutrition, and as a recent student of psychology she has learned, the right approach to behavior modification and motivation. While the traditional basic approach to exercise conforms to the model of "good form coupled with optimal performance," Jini takes the basics a step further, or you might say, a step back, utilizing the FMS or Functional Movement Screen as an integral part of her program design. The FMS is a tool used to assess the innate imbalances and asymmetries in human movement patterns. Using this screening process, weaknesses in movement patterns can be identified which can aid in foretelling potential injuries-in-the-making. Based on the results of an individual's FMS assessment, a corrective or restorative exercise segment is incorporated into every workout that targets these weaknesses and corrects them creating a better, stronger foundation from which to develop a client's flexibility, stability, and strength.
Through her nutrition training, Jini understands that working with a hormonal approach to eating is key. It is the fastest and most effective way to make changes that will create a healthy and balanced body chemistry. It takes a serious commitment to form new habits and make changes that will last a lifetime. Through her study of psychology, she has learned ways to implement these behavior modifications and motivation techniques to insure as best she can, that these changes last a lifetime. Jini believes that life is a gift and protecting that gift is your duty. This can be accomplished through living a lifestyle that involves a healthy nutrition plan that she will assist in creating, a specific serenity or, stress reduction plan, practiced lifestyle habits, and of course, exercise.
Jini received her bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from California State University, Northridge and has since been certified by a number of industry organizations most notably the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), the leading fitness certification organization in the country and The Functional Movement Screen (FMS).
She has authored many articles for publication in newsletters and ezines and has been featured in the Los Angeles Daily News and Shape magazine, is the Personal Trainer of a number of celebrity clients and Hollywood insiders, and has appeared on NBC's Access Hollywood.
Jini is an active member in professional organizations such as NSCA, (The National Strength and Conditioning Association), FMS (Functional Movement Screening), NANP, (The National Association of Nutrition Professionals), ASEP, (The American Society of Exercise Physiologists), and is a member of the month with WRS, (Worthwhile Referral Sources)-the largest networking association in Southern California.
