Personal Trainer Austin Texas

Hi all,

It’s that time of year when more of you will be heading outside to walk or run, and perhaps hitting the workouts even more for the proverbial warm weather clothing. That means it’s time to check your shoe tread. On the right you can see bald areas on my shoe bottom; left are my new ones.

Shoe Tread

If you aren’t sure by ‘feel’ if you need new shoes – look at the tread. If you see any worn or bald spots it’s time to toss them and get new ones.

Warm regards,
Margo

Exercise your abs, glutes and chest on the Stability Ball in couple of minutes.

For those of you who enjoy the Stability Ball and are short on time, here is a 3 minute workout hitting your abs, glutes, chest and arms.

Take care,
Margo

Previously under the category Exercise Equipment titled “Weighted Body Bar” I mention a few exercises using this apparatus.  The less complex a piece of equipment is, the more likely you are to use it. Here are just a few demo shots of body toning exercises you can do with a weighted body bar. As always, for the New Year I’m all for using mostly gravity, you and your body, and a minimal amount of apparatus. That said, if you want to add apparatus, this body bar, along with stability and medicine balls and a Bosu, are plenty to get anyone started and fit.  I’ve mentioned these simple exercise tools previously, and will expand on what to do with them more this month.  Here are a few shots of Weighted Body Bar moves.  As always, I’m here for you via email or phone for details on these exercises.
