San Antonio Personal Training

10/22/07

Today is the first day in six weeks that I am not training one of my favorite clients.  I don't know if he would like his name printed on the internet for all to see, so I will leave him anonymous but I am confident he will know who I am talking about.  This gentleman came to me six weeks ago and told me that he wanted help in changing his lifestlye in regards to both nutrition and exercise with the hope of losing body fat.  He succeeded in this goal, by dropping 25-30lbs during this six week time period.  Additionally, he also obtained many "small victories" such as the ability to sleep through the night, the ability to walk the beach with his family, and in general an improved quality of life.  I am happy that I was able to help this man achieve his goals, but the reality is that he did all the work.  I simply coached him on how to get there.  His work ethic and discipline were outstanding, and that is what allowed him to obtain his goals.  There were days when he had a sore back, or sore foot but instead of calling in and canceling the workout he would come in a few minutes early and warm up, and then we would stretch which would help ease the soreness and then he would proceed to have a great workout.  He is now going to workout on his own and come into me once or twice a month to make sure he is still on track with his progress.  Along with having a great client throughout the last six weeks, I have also made a good friend and while I am sad to see him go, I am very proud of the results he has seen and I am confident he will continue to have great success.  Thanks for being a great client and an even better friend.

On this blog I try to stress the importance of moving more and eating less.  I often write that in order to be in better shape we have to improve our habits by going outside and doing something.  Well I want to take this time to showcase a great activity that anyone can do, and have a great time with, not to mention the fact that you will get in a good afternoon of activity.  This weekend my girlfriend Sarah and I traveled out to a cornfield just short of Hondo, TX (about 40 minutes west of SA on highway 90) and went through the MAIZE.  If you are bored one day this week and need something to do with the family or friends, then take the short trip out highway 90 and go through the MAIZE.  It is a lot of fun, takes about an hour and it is a great way to get outside and be active.

Make it a great day San Antonio!
