I have a private Personal Training studio in Austin, Texas, in my home. I will also go to my clients homes - and will bring any apparatus if its needed. I believe in a balance of muscle toning/strengthening, flexibility, and cardio/aerobic exercises that are fun and bring results. I also offer expertise and experience in proper and effective nutrition plans for ideal body weight and weight loss, without deprivation. Each clients program and sessions are geared to them personally, to fit into their lifestyle, to be long lasting and effective.
A site created to educate, inform, help and share information as part of a Fitness Lifestyle, and for people to understand the benefits of personal fitness trainers, and the expertise offered on the web and available to them by me, here in Austin, Texas.
Welcome to my Virtual Fitness Studio

3 Minute Workout from your Desk
As the title suggests, this video is designed for those of you at a computer monitor who will find 3 minutes the right amount of time (and incentive) to take an exercise break, without leaving your desk. It’s important to still do some cardio and a bit more strength work during the week; however, in the event that isn’t possible, this is a great little workout to make you feel better, that can be done more then once a day, without changing clothes, from your home office or corporate office.
I will publish more ‘desk workouts’ and “quick from your desk cardio” to choose from. This first 3-minute workout is a great start to get you moving when time is tight – I hope you enjoy it.
Take care,
Margo
Exercise & Nutrition Journal
Nutrition & Exercise Journal
If you are a past or current client of mine, you understand the value of making a written commitment on these two things. Putting your plan to paper, as in writing your exercise homework from me (if I didn’t hand it to you), solidifies your intention. It is cause in making you more likely to stick to it.
If you are on a weight management program, you understand the major value of writing on a food log sheet . You understand how seeing it in writing – what you consumed, and jotting your meal plans, helps keep you on track.
There isn’t enough space here for me to emphasize the value of committing to paper what your exercise intention for the week is, nor the value in weight management and well being of putting to paper what you are eating during the week.
Tip for the week: Write it down. Put it on your calendar “take 15 minute walk before work”. You will make time for it this way. Writing in the food log will be a HUGE value and major hindrance to “amnesia eating” and will lead to weight loss.
Take care,
Margo
