Your Fitness Is Unique
I am frequently asked, “What should I do to get in shape”? This conversation usually transpires after they discover what I do for living.
Be Safe Out There
With the warm weather, and more people exercising outdoors, it is important to remember to take safety precautions. Just this afternoon as we were skating around Lake Murray, a man on either inline skates or a bicycle, wrecked and fractured his arm.
Get Kids Started Early with Exercise
Just today, I was approached by a young boy who asked me how to lose weight and get in shape. While I admire his motivation and initiative in inquiring on his own, at the same time I feel sympathy for him because he feels ashamed of the way he looks.
Home vs. Gym Training – Which is Best for Me?
Many times people ask which is better, training in a gym or at home? Well, the answer depends upon the individual. What works well for one person may be a disaster for another.
Rehabing an Injury
Currently, I am training one client who is recovering from a double hamstring strain, and another recovering from double hip replacement surgery.
Finding the Right Mix
I often encounter women who are scared of lifting weights for fear that they will put on “too much muscle”. They are usually middle-aged, new to exercise, and have picked up a lot of misconceptions here and there along the way.
Keep It Consistent
I know first hand just difficult it can be to fit exercise into a busy schedule, but if you don’t do it regularly, it will be very hard to see results.
Exercising the Buddy System
How many of you reading this finds it difficult to adhere to a fitness regime? If you’re like most Americans, you probably find it at least challenging, some may even go so far as to say impossible.
Maintaining Proper Form
A lot of people go through their workouts at too fast of a pace because they are short on time, and in the process they forget to engage good form and posture.
What’s the Best Exercise for……….?
A session with a client the other day motivated me to write about the commonly asked question, “What is the best exercise for __________”? While I don’t believe there is any “best” exercise for a given body part, there are certainly plenty of good ones.
