Check out the two videos I took on my run this evening to learn how to do hill repeats and to see my reaction to doing them for the first time.
Read MoreWhen I got married in 2007, I didn’t go on a crash diet or start a rigorous exercise regimen. I thought I looked good enough the way I was, and, like any bride, I had plenty of other details to worry about.
Read MoreThe great thing about exercise is that once you get started, it gets easier. I’ve found that to be very true in the last few months of personal training.
Read MoreI’m learning—mainly by not taking care of myself—that what I do after a workout is as important as what I do during my workout. If I follow the post-workout routine below, I find that I recover much faster and have more energy the following day.
Read MoreSometimes it’s a challenge just making it to personal training—I’ve made no secret of that. I’m not a morning person, and I usually feel like a slug for an hour or two after waking up. It is, therefore, something akin to a miracle that after four months I’m still in personal training three days a week!
Read MoreI’ve progressed slower than I expected, and I attribute that primarily to my eating choices over the past month. I was originally gung-ho about being on a diet but it’s been extremely difficult recently. I usually work from home, so originally, whenever I got hungry I just moseyed on over to the kitchen and sliced up some veggies or peeled a hardboiled egg. It made eating low-calorie super simple.
Read MoreLast week my family went on vacation in Palm Springs, California. That meant missing out on training sessions with Andrea. Here's what I did instead.
Read MoreI woke up Friday morning wishing that I could sleep in more than anything. You know the feeling. Your pillow feels warm and soft beneath your head, your bedroom is still shrouded in darkness, and the last thing you want to do is crawl out of bed.
Read MoreAthletes who participate in endurance sports often talk about “hitting the wall”—the point at which their glycogen stores run out and they are overcome with sudden fatigue and loss of energy. But I think there’s another wall that we often hit—the one that comes when we cultivate a new habit with great passion for a few weeks, but then life gets in the way and we lose our motivation to press forward.
Read MoreAs Andrea had to remind me several weeks in, this Fat to Fit thing isn’t an “experiment,” as I called it. Burning fat is a tried-and-true formula: eat less, workout more, and you’re sure to shed the weight.
Read MoreA few months ago I started experiencing a sharp pain in my lower back. An MRI revealed that I have three herniated discs in my lumbar spine, most likely from sitting at a computer for ten to twelve hours per day with bad posture.
Read MoreI started personal training only a couple of weeks ago, but I’m already slimming down (we won’t do formal measurements for a couple more weeks) and getting stronger. I’m also noticing several unexpected benefits of personal training in my personal and work life.
