Personal Trainer Austin Texas

It’s been a while since I first mentioned Skype training here at my blog. Many of you never heard of Skype before then; now you see it used often in television to broadcast someone live. That is exactly how I utilize Skype as well. If you have a computer with a camera, you have the capability to have me full screen (oh fun) training you LIVE, in real time, from my studio. Go to any of my videos; click the little arrow, third icon from left, and you will see how I can appear full screen only training you live. Many of you reading this reside outside of Texas – we can once again train live!

Skype itself is FREE – and easy to sign up for on PC or Mac.

Hope you check it out!
Take care,
Margo

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

For those of you looking for an alternative to dumbbells, a weighted body bar can be a nice addition. They vary in weight size from 8 to upwards of 20 lbs.  I use them for shoulders, arms, lower back, thighs, tush, upper back and chest. You can do it all with one single bar! Storage is a snap, as it stands up in a corner taking up no space at all.  I’ll list just a few of many exercises you can do with this body bar:

• Bicep Curls
• Tricep Press
• Dead lifts for lower back and hamstrings
• Squats for thighs and tush
• Chest press (laying down, pressing bar upwards)
• Rowing for lats
• Overhead press for shoulders

These are just a few basics you may recognize; I’m happy to show you other exercises that make for great “muscle confusion”!  (Confusion is what your muscles want to keep things fresh and effective.)

Warm regards,

Margo
