Describe your own workout program:Three to four days per week, I complete a running program for my cardio. I am currently training for both a half and full marathon at the end of the year, so mileage varies; however, I generally am running a minimum of 45 minutes (or 5 miles.) I perform a strength training routine two to three days per week. Most of this training consists of body weight exercises such as planks, sit ups, lunges, squats, push ups, dips, etc. I try to incorporate yoga and balance activities into my routine as well.
What other skills do you bring to the table besides your training experience:I am a certified athletic trainer and a certified strength and conditioning specialist. I have a BS in Exercise and Sports Science. I am certified in CPR and First Aid (and am now also certified to teach CPR.) I was a competitive gymnast and competed on the collegiate level. I also coached gymnastics for at least six years. As an athletic trainer, and am able to perform post-rehabilitation with clients.
How would you help an overweight client lose weight:Calories in, calories out. I would encourage the client to make healthy food choices as well as to pay close attention to portion control. I would suggest to the client to be active every day. He/she should perform one hour of cardio activity daily. I would also teach him/her how to strength train correctly in order to avoid injuries. We would first focus on larger muscle groups and attempt to burn as many calories as possible.
