It took a few weeks to get started with our mismatched schedules, but we are on our way! Stacy is definitely highly motivated. She has her heart rate monitor and is logging her food right off the bat, I love it! During the first few weeks I recommended to her that she learn about her habits and not try to change anything yet. I am having her record her food and wear her heart rate monitor during ALL exercise. I will be reviewing her food diary and her heart rate with her as we go. I do not like to make dramatic changes in my clients’ habits. I do not believe that long term success is made through drastic changes. Baby steps!
Our first week of exercise will include 3 workouts, all of which will be total body. We are reviewing proper form and general familiarity of the body. I need to learn about Stacy’s work ethic, strength and limitations before we focus on individual muscle groups. Small things, like whether or not someone shows up in time for their appointment, their description of their eating habits, how much “homework” they do, etc can tell me alot about how quickly someone will be successful in meeting their goals.
Sample workout week one:
3 sets of 12
Quadraplex
Push Ups (modified if necessary)
Lat Pull down
Sit Ups
Seated Biceps Curls
Bench Dips
Upright Row
