Health Insurance for the self employed, For Fitness pro's like me

Hello Atlanta fitness group, Normally I talk about fitness and tennis, this article is more about taking care of yourself and your money when it comes to your health insurance. Especially for self employed people like me health and fitness and tennis pro"s can be difficult to find health insurance. My Friend and now my Health insurance person has some things to think about when buying health inusurance. When individuals go shopping for health insurance, it’s important that they realize they can have more buying power when they get a plan that is customized to their needs and budget. For example, coverage requirements for individuals and families can differ significantly from those of a small business or someone who is self-employed. It’s also important for consumers to consider that personalized health insurance doesn't just help you stay healthy – it can also help protect you financially That’s why I offer both Basic Coverage and Catastrophic Coverage plans –each with a wide range of benefit options. I help my clients identify and assess their needs and create a personalized plan that fits them. If you have questions about insurance coverage or would like a health insurance quote, please call Diana Luykx at (404) 915-9595.

Tennis Serve: Tips and tricks of the proper tennis serve

Tennis Serve: Tips and tricks of the proper serve
Stand side on to the court, hold the ball between thumb and first two finger tips and toss the ball a little higher then the high point that you can hold your racquet up to. On the toss I tell my clients to picture the your self as the Statue on Liberty and toss the ball at the highest point that you can hold up your toss hand up to and release the ball like you might let go of a small bird.
One thing to watch out for is not to stretch to far and simply toss the ball about 8-10 inches in front of your front foot. For the Right handed tennis player picture a giant clock in the sky and toss the ball at 1:00 or off the right post for both the Duce or the AD side of the court. For the lefty tennis player just the opposite, toss the ball at left post or at a giant clock, this time 11:00. I like to finish my tennis server like a Football quarterback where again for the Righty the right foot should follow the right arm over finishing into the tennis court.
