Tighten the tush and burn cellulite with this ten minute workout Print E-mail
Personal trainer Advanced workout for tighting and getting rid of cellulite on the butt.

One legged touch downs. (beginners can start this with no weight to get the feel of it)
This workout if for the butt and hamstrings and quads and is VERY effective and will make you sore and yet will make you like your butt better. =) Be sure to stay away from fat in the diet as well as drink lots of lemon water too. Add some sprints and cycling to really blast the legs.

1  Stand on the right foot and hold a ten pound weight in the right hand.
2  Extend the left foot back behind your body and keep the knee and foot up as high as possible during the entire workout.
3  Bend your right knee and bend down touching the weight that you are holding down to the floor on the right side and then stand back up to a standing position.
4  Repeat twenty times touching the weight all the way down to the floor without bending at the back or leaning forward.
5  Keep the posture in a vertical position as much as possible because to get the weight down to the floor, you should not be bending at the hips  with knees straight..you should be bending primarily at the knees with back straight. 
6  Do one set on the right leg and then do one set on the left leg. Repeat for five sets. If balance is an issue, to begin with, hold on to a wall or a chair with your free hand. BUT not holding on will allow you to work your core as well.

Know how it feels when the muscle is Engaged during a workout to get better workout results Print E-mail



Houston personal trainer Melissa was having a conversation with another trainer and she was laughing with him about how many people including herself had done workouts without ever "feeling the muscle itself get engaged".

For example, when a person does deadlifts, they should feel the workout happening in their hamstrings not their back, and when they do pullovers, they should know they are working the chest, not the shoulders. The other personal trainer in Buena Vista said that doing a squat correctly had taken him years because it is such a large series of complicated movements that have to be performed in sequence with emphasis on the correct body parts in order to work the butt, quads, hamstrings and core. When a muscle feels engaged, it flexes during the contraction phase of the workout and it feels pumped up after the exercise because the muscle has been doing the work of the movement.

Both trainers agreed that without the correct form, the movement often fails to accomplish the desired results. Personal trainer Melissa loves to do squats and likes to workout in Buena Vista colorado and has worked out for years perfecting her ability to give detailed instruction to her clients to ensure great technique. She can be reached for personal training to help anyone struggling with weight loss or bodybuilding.

Below is a photo of Colorado personal trainer Melissa, available for workouts in Buena Vista and Salida.

Be perfect at losing weight so that your workouts will produce FAST results. Print E-mail
blue_bikini_for_summer_with_houston_personal_trainingInstead of another articles on how to find the perfect TRAINER, as a Houston Personal Trainer with years of experience, I decided to write about the PERFECT personal training CLIENT. Why should you care about this you might ask?

Well,  if you are a good client, your trainer will be motivated to give you the best results in the fastest amount of time because they will know you are doing YOUR part. They can see by your actions that you are able to follow all the criteria necessary to be successful in their program.
SO
become a good client who then is also a successful client:
1) Houston Workouts mean you need self motivation, independent of a trainer. Plan your own Workouts to be moderate to challenging with intensity intervals. An individuals "readiness to change" which is a predictor of success, means the man or woman has already become motivated enough to start some training on their own . Before actually hiring a trainer, it is useful for individuals to start walking or doing some consistent light workout at least three days a week to establish a routine so that kinks in scheduling and timing of scheduling a personal trainer workout can be ironed out in advance.

2) Bad eating habits need to be adressed and  small changes can be made to gradually improve the diet. A good client knows eating properly is part of the weight loss success. Good weight loss tips are things like stopping caffeine, avoid soft drinks, sugar or desserts. Properly keeping an eating journal or joining weight watchers helps as well and avoiding alcohol.
3) To start losing weight and get rid of belly fat it is important to stop drinking, smoking or taking drugs. Smoking and drinking and drugs all interfere with the success of a workout program. When a client is hung over or addicted to any substances, then often other areas in their live are out of balance as well.door_way
4) To be successful in weight loss and workouts with a personal trainer, keeping  appointments and  avoiding travel during the weight loss period to maintain consistency is very important. Clients should also avoid over scheduling themselves and make time for extra workouts instead. If a client is planning a cruise or a long vacation that will fall in the middle of a personal training contract, it might be better to wait till the vacation is past before getting started.

5) Men and women who have a wide variety of interests and are willing to try new ways to improve movement will be more successful. If a client has always wanted to try tennis or jogging, this is the time to get started. Thinking outside the box will help achieve success.
6) Individuals who have supportive friends and family will do better with a Houston Personal trainer. On the contrary, if everyone else in the family is overweight, this is a big hurdle to overcome as a client because others may sabotage the progress. It is helpful to have a workout buddy to do off day training with so that the workouts do not become drudgery.
