Fastest way to get a passport in Houston and how to avoid waiting in the LINE FROM HELL! Print E-mail
dsc00072With thoughts of going to the Dominican Republic for an exciting trip this summer, Personal trainer Melissa in Houston went to the post office to get her passport. This was quite a horrible experience and definitely worth telling others about. When Houston personal trainer Melissa went to the post office the first time, she discovered that there was a specific time for getting a passport and the people who were in line had been waiting for hours. She also was told she needed to have the passport form filled completely out and had to bring all the documentation necessary. So, because personal trainer Melissa is working every day training clients in their homes, she had to wait to reschedule a day of workouts with clients before she could return to the post office in North Houston to reapply for her passport. A week later when she returned, the houston personal trainer arrived at ten am (which was near the designated start time) and yet found she still was the twenty third person in line and was given a number, told she could come and go until her number was up (there is a sign with the current number posted on it) and was also told the forms she brought back from a week ago were not good anymore because the passport forms had just been updated and changed. SO she got the new form...went home and filled it out..and came back every hour (twenty minute drive each time) to see where the line was. Each hour the line had only progressed by four people..by eleven thirty the clerk was on the fifth person, and by twelve thirty she was on the ninth person, and by one thirty she was on the twelfth person.(each time Melissa walked in and looked at the number posted on the sign) When Houston Personal trainer Melissa saw the clerk was still on number twelve, she sat outside the post office to eat her salad from McDonald's. When she went back in the post office at two twenty p.m., the sign said the clerk was on number twenty one and so Melissa waited in the line, only to find out when she made it up to the front of the counter, that her number had been called when she was out in the truck eating her salad and the clerk said she was not taking anyone else that day and that Melissa would have to come back the next day and wait in line a third time.
OH DEAR GEEZE!!! Melissa was so angry and asked the clerk how she could be on number twenty six when the posted sign still said number twenty one. The clerk said that she was not changing the sign every number because she had to get out of her chair to change the number and since the sign was not by her chair so she was not getting up each time. Houston Personal Trainer Melissa was outraged at the lack of consideration for post office patrons like herself who had been waiting patiently for five hours to get a passport and asked the lady if she minded being reported for her unsatisfactory treatment of the public and the lady said.."BE MY GUEST". SO Here it is for everyone to see. At this point, Melissa called a friend in Tomball who suggested she go to the post office in Tomball as the office was small and friendly. Melissa went the next day at nine thirty a.m to Tomball and the post office passport applications were supposed to start being taken at ten am. When she arrived, she was the only person in line but she got a nice surprise because when the postal workers saw her there, they immediately started processing her passport and did not make her wait till ten am. and also started processing the passport of the lady behind her who had also arrived at nine thirtyish. Both ladies were done by nine forty a.m. ..each passport only taking five minutes. Personal trainer Melissa was SO impressed by the fantastic work ethic of the postal workers in TOMBALL TEXAS and highly recommends that anyone looking for a good experience in passport applications in Houston, should go to a small out lying post office to get quality service and friendly happy people at the counter. What a difference from the large Houston Post office and the small Tomball Office. GOOD JOB TOMBALL TEXAS POST OFFICE WORKERS.. We salute you!!!

Secret for getting ripped abs with sexy cuts says personal trainer Melissa Print E-mail

GET Sexy ABS WITH HOUSTON PERSONAL TRAINER Melissa's AB WORKOUT doing cardio STEP jumps onto a platform( which is like a standing ab crunch)  instead of doing endless crunches.
Some of the best looking celebrities in the world are admired because of their great legs or tight abs. It is possible to workout all the time and still not like the abs because often they are covered by body fat. Eating a low fat diet is crucial if a personal training client in Houston wishes to have flat tight abs or a "six pack" but also important is the ability to
photo_of_tight_abs_with_celebrity_personal_trainer
do enough cardio to burn off the layer of body fat covering the muscles. (photo belowof sexy personal trainer Melissa in Yoga pants and top)
Houston Personal Trainer Melissa watches people in the gyms in Texas doing crunches for twenty or thirty minutes but she notices that those people usually never look any tighter in their stomach area and never seem to look any different.

The individuals who have the BEST abs are usually the ones SWEATING... running on the treadmill, kick boxing or doing spinning classes. It is not that crunches are bad, but if a person is only going to spend an hour in the gym it is important to get the most  body parts involved in the workout as possible. Houston In home personal trainer Melissa recommends kick boxing for a workout that burns fat AND targets the abs and many of her clients love turbo jam kickboxing DVD's. Her own specialty for abs is to do step jumps..where any two workouts a week include step jumps on to a platform that is as high as possible (SOME Houston Volleyball Club teams make the platform as high as four feet to work the vertical jump), with both feet taking off and landing at the same time, and with the hands up in the air as if to shoot a basket at the finish. Then the individual steps back down to the floor and repeats for a hundred and fifty repetitions.(resting of course when necessary) This workout will REALLY be felt in the abs the next day AND it also is a great cardio workout.

More Women prefer workouts with a female personal trainer for a variety of reasons 

 

Melissa, personal trainer in The Woodlands is a girly girl and likes lingerie parties, dancing and chatting with her best friends.
col_oct_095
Workouts for women and outdoor boot camp workouts for men and women are popular in Houston. However with the slowing economy, more and more trainers are having trouble finding clients looking for a trainer. Female personal trainer Melissa has not had any slow down in her business however and the main reason Personal Trainer Melissa in Houston has been  able to keep such high demand for her personal training expertise as a female personal trainer over a male personal trainer counterparts is that male personal trainers tend to focus too much on the upper body during workouts whereas Melissa knows women are more concerned about their butt, thighs, legs and abs. 

Personal Trainer Melissa of the Woodlands has a HUGE variety of workouts to accommodate women at any fitness level. A second reason is that many women  feel safer with female trainers over male trainers, as will their husbands for doing "in home personal training" , particularly if they have small children who will be around during the workouts. Personal Trainer Melissa and her staff know how to keep small children happy and involved during the time mom is working out.

A third reason women have given personal Trainer Melissa as to why they picked her is that in spite of the many certifications and education and experience that trainers are supposed to have, is that women still want to see that their trainer "LOOKS" like she works out and like she will be fun to have as a personal trainer. "Male personal trainers often stare at their clients and make the women uncomfortable", said one of Melissa's personal training clients and they do not respect the clients "personal space". Though male personal trainers may be educated, often they are not as intuitive about their female clients and not as communicative as women need them to be but Melissa knows how to avoid touching the client during the workout other than the initial weighing and measuring because she is respectful of their need for propriety. Melissa DOES work out every day to maintain her health and appearance and she ALSO has all her credentials, but most important is that she knows how to read her clients because she puts great effort into getting to know them as individuals, and this extra interest expressed by her helps make each workout a positive experience.

 Houston in home Personal trainer Melissa also has male clients, often they are husbands or boyfriends of her female clients. These male clients have been very satisfied with their results, even when their goal was to add bulk. boots_girl

sexy_personal_trainer_photoA sexy body has tone, no cellulite and lean muscle and though genetics can help,  Personal trainer Melissa of Houston, has achieved the look with years of heavy squats, lunges, kick boxing, roller blading for hours, running bleachers, weight training plus body weight plyometrics, playing volleyball, and basically being consistent with workouts.

Even though she is not a bodybuilder or into serious bodybuilding, Melissa has learned it is beneficial to do heavy weight training because lean muscle mass  helps supercharge up a metabolism. She is an ectomorph (basically lean) and has to work hard add muscle.

Most of her clients are endomorphs (round) or mesomorphs (muscular) and they add muscle quickly so their workouts have to be with lighter weights and higher reps. In contrast, Melissa works to build muscle mass and does squats with 200 plus pounds which is a lot for her because at five feet nine 1/2 inches tall, she only weighs 120 pounds. Her chest dumbbell presses are done using 50 pound dumbbells for her max weight.

Like most individuals, she has occasional challenges with her eating  but is constantly improving and always includes lots of water, vegetables and fruits. and of course the right amount of protein for her weight. Sexy Houston Personal Trainer Melissa knows it can be hard to follow an eating program and workout routine so she gives you the blueprint for workouts and eating that show you the way! She gives so many free personal trainer workouts on this website that anyone wishing to lose weigh or wishing to get tone and sexy can take time to read and use her tips for immediate help and progress.

Check out the site menu on the side bar to navigate all the articles on this website and HAPPY WORKOUTS! Remember, heavy weight training will only make a woman look masculine if it is due to artificial hormones. Most women will just look leaner and more toned with weight training and high repeitions.

How to tell if you could be overtraining according to personal trainer Melkissa Print E-mail
Too tired to workout? Sick and tired of being sick and tired? Maybe you are over training.

sexy_personal_trainerIf every workout seems like a chore and is dreaded or avoided then over training may be the problem says sexy personal trainer Melissa in Houston.  Athletes who experience over training can benefit from taking some time off, varying the workout to cross over to a different sport temporarily for a change, or lowering the intensity of the workout.
Before blaming over training as the reason, first eliminate other possible causes of fatigue and lack of energy such as determining if food is adequate, if sleep is adequate, and if there are any health issues or stress issues that must be dealt with. Make sure that a variety of foods are being eaten and that all the meals are small but frequent. Tiredness is often associated with reduced calorie intake, which happens when a person skips meals or eats too much sugar and not enough fiber, protein fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, make sure to be getting sufficient sleep, and the sleep should be good quality so avoid caffeine and sugar during the day and warm up the body with a bath or shower before bed. The body has to be a warm in order to be relaxed. Try to go to sleep without stressful thoughts and try to get to sleep at the same time every day. If a person has been sick with the flu or any other illness, they could be dehydrated and should be sure to have had adequate time to get over the illness before resuming a full force workout. Just walking every day can do positive things for the body and workouts do not have to be killer to be effective. College athletes who have to workout every day can experience over training as can marathon or other distance runners, or full time athletes. These people may begin to experience constant fatigue, and may lack enthusiasm for their normally exciting sport, and may even begin to have injuries. Because these athletes are used to high levels of training, often they are not even aware of the reason they feel tired and low energy. Houston Personal Trainer Melissa tries to keep over training out of the picture by changing the workouts and varying the intensity. The Houston in home personal trainer also takes her workouts outdoors to keep them from being mundane. She plays tennis, swims, bikes, hikes, plays volleyball and more for her activities.
