PERSONAL TRAINING
Personal Training is just that- Personal. Your trainer should be able to provide programming specifically for you. Not something they found on an Instagram post that looks COOL. Just because the exercise looks like something you have never seen before does not mean that it is the right exercise for you at your current level of fitness. You have to ask : is that exercise necessary to get you to "your goals", safely and effectively?
​
Tip: When choosing your personal trainer, always check their credentials. Make sure that their certification is nationally recognized and up to date.
NUTRITIONAL ADVICE
I am not a dietician and I will never pretend to be. I believe in teaching each client how to make decisions about their nutrition without having to be told exactly what to eat. If you are educated about the choices around you then you can make better decisions about how you eat without eating like a robot. You have to set obtainable and realistic goals. I want people to have a GOOD relationship with food and nutrition.
​
Tip: First three letters in diet are what? Diets are for short time periods only. They are not a long-term answer. You have to take the time to learn your specific requirements for your goals and make it a lifestyle.
CORE & POSTURE
Training the muscles of the core helps correct postural imbalances that can lead to injuries. The biggest benefit of core training is to develop functional fitness—the type of fitness that is essential to daily living and regular activities.
​
Tip: Learn how to properly engage and strengthen your core so you can perform functional movements properly. Do this before you start performing any complex or heavy loaded movements. If you have a weak foundation (your core), your house will fall down.
