Personal Fitness Expert

What’s your favorite exercise?
Anything that requires the recruitment of multiple muscle groups.  My goal during a workout is to keep my heart rate up and to workout as efficiently as possible.  By combining upper and lower body exercises I am able to achieve this.  I LOVE lunging, so lunges with a bicep curl would be a good example of something I would do.

What’s your least favorite exercise?
LEG EXTENSIONS!  It doesn’t matter how much I do them--my muscles still scream every time!

What does your personal fitness regimen look like?
I aim for five days per week.  I feel best when I do three full-body resistance-training workouts per week and five days of cardio.  I really enjoy running outdoors, but try to vary it with other forms to constantly challenge my body.

How do you fit a workout into a crazy day?
If my day is too crazy for a full workout I will usually do a cardio interval workout.  I’ll vary sprints, slow jogs and hills to get my heart pumping.

What’s the best part of being a personal trainer?
Helping people feel better than they ever imagined possible.  So many people suffer from aches and pains that they consider permanent.  A lot of times these aches are caused by muscle imbalances that can be corrected with a little dedication and guidance.  Seeing people get relief and reach on towards their goals is so rewarding.
