The first personal training session will consist of a fitness
evaluation. We'll go through a routine that tests your strength,
flexibility, and endurance. From here we can then asses your goals
and determine what needs to be done to reach your best level of
fitness.
Our sessions will never be completely the same nor will I ever
just do the "routine" with you. At the start of every
session we will check in to see how your body is feeling. If the
day was particularly stressful or there is an ache, our workout
will address these concerns. Every few weeks we will also check
in to see how the program is progressing. Are your goals going
to be met? Or do we need to modify things a bit?
The
exercises will draw upon different forms that I have been studying
and teaching for years. The challenge of the exercise will always
be at your level and geared towards what you need to ultimately
better balance the body. By drawing upon several different exercise
forms we will have a well rounded work out that does not neglect
one area.
One exercise system is really not enough. It may lack certain
stretches or strengtheners that you need. By drawing upon different
exercises, it'll not only help your body but also only keep your
workout fun and interesting. Specifically, we will be doing different
combinations of:
- Cardio Jump-roping and/or Kick-boxing
- Dancing
- Stretches from Ashtanga Yoga
- Core Strengtheners from Pilates
- Exercise Ball Workouts
- Localized Toning from Resistance Isometrics
- Breathing
How
is breathing an exercise? Well, without focused breath in your
exercises the muscles are being starved of oxygen. Without oxygen
you might as well not be doing the exercises because the muscles
are not going to contract or stretch to their full capacity. We
want to maximize your time - New York is one busy place. Who can
afford to work out poorly and who should anyway!
Our sessions will be to the point, working to bring your body into a better balance and accomplishing your goals through the use of low-impact yet challenging exercises. I promise that you will finish the workout feeling refreshed and energized. At the end of the session we always close with several deep assisted stretches that to me feel almost like a massage! My goal is for you to feel longer, taller, and ready for anything after every session!
