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
Full Body Exercise – Inch Worm
Incorporate this easy-to-learn exercise segment into your workout. It hits your hamstrings, abs of course, arms, chest and shoulders. It’s called “worm” or “inch worm” since you walk out slowly and back, bending in the middle. Do the pushup modified or military; it is effective either way.
Take care,
Margo
Plank for Abdominal Toning and Strength
This video demonstrates Plank, which strengthens your entire core, front and back, while also taxing your shoulders and arms. Start with a few seconds hold time, either on your forearms or in full plank with arms extended; hands below your shoulders. I demo both positions, as well as the most challenging – going back and forth from forearms to full extension and back. You’ll notice a good cardio kick too, doing the back and forth one, half a dozen times or so, and repeating. Enjoy this easy to learn move that has a big payoff.
Warm regards,
Margo
Interval Exercise Segment
This video demonstrates a full body segment that hits your thighs, glutes, waist, arms, shoulders and cardio, all at once! Watch it through first to get the gist; then I recommend doing each segment, or the same one twice, 8 reps. In other words, one lunge left, (then center) then to the right, is one repetition. Go slow, and sit back on those heels keeping eyes forward and your back aligned as I demonstrate on video.
Enjoy!
Margo
