Anita Stiens with Equitable has had a positive experience working with The Apple Program®. She admits that she originally started the program to try it out and see if her policy owners would like it. Then when she realized that "this is a really great thing" she wanted to stick with it.
Anita's main focus this year has been to be more physically fit. Every week she wanted to ride her stationary bike and or go walking outside. She said that her goal was also to incorporate some weight lifting exercises to help strengthen her bones and to develop more muscular strength and endurance. She's been motivated to successfully accomplish these goals because she knows that she needs to report to her Apple Health Coach®. every month. According to Anita, "accountability makes a huge difference." She said that her coach is always a source of positive reinforcement for her. When she is not doing her best, her coach will help her come up with creative solutions that get her out of her rut without being pushy or overbearing. Her coach even helped her with fresh creative ideas on how to meet her goals despite her busy schedule.
"It is the combination of the coaching and the problem solving that really help. My coach is always on the same wave length with me and knows exactly what I need and what will work best for me. She gives great advice, pushes me in the right direction and gives me the motivation that I need to make positive change and move forward."
Anita is proud of what she has accomplished this year and knows that she has much more energy, is much more alert, and sleeps better this year now that she is working with The Apple Program. "This program is just very refreshing for me. My advice to others contemplating doing the program would be, 'Don't hesitate to use a coach. The encouragement is very positive and for me it has gotten great results.'"
