Are you ready to get into the best shape of your life?
As your
personal trainer, I'll inspire you to achieve a
healthy level of fitness and have fun doing it. I'll
focus on your unique goals and interests to design
an innovative program that gets results for you.
Getting fit has many rewards. Everyone wants a lean,
tight body. But exercise, when combined with good
nutrition, also results in disease prevention,
stress reduction, and a healthy lifestyle. Exercise
can also provide emotional benefits like a positive
body image, improved energy level, self-confidence,
and an optimistic outlook.
Embarking on a fitness program will challenge your
body to reach its full potential. Your physical
improvements will include:
- strength & endurance
- power & speed
- mind-body coordination
- agility, balance, and flexibility
- mental toughness
Your
path to fitness can be a fun experience. I'll
introduce enjoyment into your workouts that will
motivate you and reward your hard work. Personal
training sessions include a combination of
cardiovascular conditioning, weight training, and
stretching. With these tools, I'll work one-on-one
with you to create a program that meets your goals.
Cardiovascular
Conditioning
The heart is the most important muscle in the human
body. Without a healthy, conditioned heart, it does
not matter how big your biceps become.
We'll work together to increase your cardiovascular
conditioning to reduce body fat. I'll help you train
so that your heart reaches its optimal rate for
burning fat.
A few activities which increase cardiovascular
health are walking, running, biking, rollerblading,
swimming, treadmill, stairmaster, elliptical, and my
favorite the stepmill. Cardiovascular training
should be performed 3 to 5 times per week, lasting
35 to 55 minutes per session. I can help you make
this time as fun and enjoyable as possible.
Weight Training
Weight training has many
rewards. Your hard work in the weight room will
improve muscle definition, develop more lean body
tissue, strengthen muscles, improve posture, and
increase metabolism (to burn more calories even at
rest).
I'll teach you proper form and the benefits of each
exercise. And I'll challenge you to progressively
increase your level of strength and get the maximum
benefit from your hard work. Weight training
includes working with free weights (barbells and
dumbbells), weight machines, cables, tubes, and
body-weight resistance.
Stretching
Stretching is
an integral part of any fitness plan. That's why I
incorporate stretching into every workout. I'll
demonstrate safe, effective exercises that increase
your flexibility and joint mobility.
You'll find flexibility provide several benefits:
- Decreases risk
of injury
- Increases range
of motion
- Improves posture
- Relieves muscle
soreness
- Promotes mental
relaxation
Stretching is a
favorite phase of a workout for many clients.
Following a hard workout, stretching is your time to
relax.
Monitoring Your Progress
Progress charting is
essential in personal training. As you see your
progress occur on paper, your self-esteem and
confidence grows.
These are ways I can help monitor your progress:
- Help in setting
achievable goals
- Perform initial
fitness testing to form a baseline from which to
work
- Take body
measurements
- Monitor your
heart rate to target its optimal training zone
for burning fat
- Provide constant
feedback throughout your workouts
Nutrition
Nutrition has the most important role in getting
fit. It's a commitment you make for the rest of your
life. A healthy, nutritionally balanced diet will
give you more energy during your workouts, which
leads to better results. Properly controlled caloric
intake will decrease your body fat and allow you to
supply your growing muscles with the nutrients they
need.
I'll ask you to keep a journal of your diet and
supply you with an individualized nutrition plan.
Together, we'll analyze problem areas. I'll advise
you on diet modifications you can make immediately
to maximize the results of your exercise program. My
goal is to help you lose fat, build muscle, increase
your energy, and improve your overall level of
health.
