What Types of Activities could
you do in a Fitness Program?

Typical sessions with clients include a combination of stretching, weight training, balance work, and activities to enhance cardiovascular endurance. As your Personal Trainer, I will work with you to design a fitness program that suits your needs, goals, interests, and available time. Hopefully we'll have some fun too!
Depending on your goals and interests, your program could include activities that:
Enhance your cardio endurance
While typical activities with clients to enhance cardiovascular endurance are walking, running, biking, and swimming, I have also spent sessions playing energetic (and unskilled!) tennis and basketball, as well as hiking, kayaking, ice skating, and taking part in dance classes. If you have a yen to try a new fitness activity, I am always open to ideas.
Improve your flexibility or balance
Every session, no matter what the focus, involves a period of light stretching and calisthenics to improve your joints' range of motion and balance.
Increase your strength
Typical examples of activities to increase strength include: working with free weights, working with machines, and using tubing or body weight resistance.
Rehabilitate an injury
If you are recovering from an illness or an injury, I am happy to work with you and your care provider to ensure an optimal recovery.
Encourage loss of body fat
Reducing body fat is of paramount importance to many clients. Increasingly, studies show that exercise alone is the most effective way to shed fat. If this is your goal, we will work together to increase your daily energy expenditures through cardio and strength training. My primary focus is always to have clients as fit and healthy as possible, regardless of current size.
I can also give you advice on equipment, and provide you with information for setting up a gym in your own home. With a small area and some simple low-tech equipment, you can have everything you need for a total body workout. (You'll still need to supply the motivation of course!)
	Whether we meet for a single session to fine-tune your training, or for a series of sessions to establish your program, I will do my best to design a safe, effective and time-efficient program for you. I promise we'll find something that's fun for you. My goal is to help you incorporate fitness into your life, and enjoy it!
