Personal fitness training can mean many different things to people as everyone’s idea of fitness differs in look, intensity, and effect. Most people would agree that fitness training means working out, which is true, but is also much more. Good fitness training should take into account the whole person and thus the whole of their days.
It is a matter of learning to live in a balanced, energizing, and life-sustaining way for the long haul. It is about re-educating ourselves on how our bodies should be moving throughout our lives, and to once again make moving a natural thing for us; just like when we were kids and couldn’t sit still for very long.
With My Training You Will:
LOSE WEIGHT!
STRENGTHEN!
INCREASE RANGE OF MOTION!
DECREASE INJURY AND PAIN!
Unfortunately, as many people go on in their adult lives of serious responsibilities, they lose the concept of motion as enjoyable. They look at physical activity as a drag or a burden, and at best as something to do and get out of the way. The majority of modern society is so inactive and sedentary that movement has become laborious and unnatural for them. Because of this, we choose to move less and less, leading to a downward spiral of stiffness, limited functionality, illness, and immobility.
As we have gone on in our lives, our bodies have become cumbersome. We may not even notice our limited functionality,
as we have gradually adjusted and tailored our lifestyle through the years. Even our loved ones may not notice our slumping shoulders or acquired limp, as they have become a part of who we are.
Change happens slowly and gradually and is seen in our evolving choices as we look for homes without stairs, circle the parking lot to find a spot near the door, put off housework longer or hire it out, start buying more pre-made meals, put the bicycles in the rafters in the garage for good, listen to talk radio instead of music, get into our jammies earlier and earlier, don’t play with our pets as much, and horse around less as we lose touch with our creative abilities.
Fortunately, most of the abuse can be reversed or bettered through attention, commitment, and desire. Our muscles have bundled and hardened, but they can differentiate and become more elastic once again. If you have not been very active and haven’t been on an exercise program for 4 months or more prior to starting a fitness program, we will start out slow and smart so as to avoid injury, setbacks, and discouragement.
We would first work to stabilize the joints and muscles, then go on to dynamic and functional strengthening, and then into reactive, compound exercising from an unsupported position, fully challenging and increasing the power and force of the whole body.
You cannot rush this process, for it is not a job or task to complete, but rather a lifestyle and way of living you are implementing. I will create a program designed for your needs, one that will be kept fresh and interesting, and one that maximizes your time. Your body will be challenged in new and exciting ways, as you come to have a new bodily awareness, increased abilities, and a fresh outlook on life.
If any of this sounds like what you are looking for, please give me a call and I will give you a free consultation, discussing your history and current needs. We’ll get you on a structured program that gives you more energy, balance, and joint stability in your daily life. I will be there to keep you on point and on task, making sure you’re working out at the correct level to create a strong, lean, and resilient body!
