Why I Think Exercise is Important: Exercise Philosophy:
Motivation Techniques: II work with my clients to establish realistic and attainable goals so that progress is made and accomplishments achieved. I prefer to create goals that can be reached within 6-8 week periods, since seeing results is the best motivation! As my client reaches their goals, new goals can be set. In order to track progress, I record each training session and include client weight, if applicable. This is a visual encouragement for the client as they work toward their fitness goals.

Personal Motivations to Exercise: My personal motivation for maintaining a fitness regimen is the enjoyment which I gain from my workouts. If it isn't fun, why be there? I find fitness centers to be positive, stress-free environments. These facilities are great places to hang out--far better than most alternatives. The people whom I have encountered in the centers have been interesting and thought-provoking through their stories and anecdotes. All in all, these centers have proven to be enjoyable places. Current Fitness Regime:Currently, I'm involved in a strength training program for both my upper and lower body using free weights two or three times each week. On other days, I like to incorporate cardiovascular training through walking, biking or an elliptical machine. I always end every workout with extensive core work--principally, abdominals. Stretching is incorporated into the conclusion of each segment, e.g., upper body, before proceeding to the next segment. Besides strength and cardio development, flexibility and balance are important to me. All of this, I hope, allows me to keep pace with my four-year-old daughter. Favorite Activity:
Why I Think Exercise is Important and My Exercise Philosophy: Motivation Techniques: This noted self-improvement will be the best motivation for any client. Nothing reinforces one's efforts better than an awareness of progress. Every client will progress given the properly designed program. With repetition, consistency and frequency, success will follow. Through a clarity of goals and a specific time-line for attainment, a client will personally observe the positive results. At this point, success will be the motivating force. Of course, the regimen must be enjoyable for the client or it must be altered. Above all else, the time spent in the workout should be FUN. [ back to top ]
