 When
Houston Personal Trainer Melissa had a roller blading accident that put
her out of commission for eight weeks, she knew she was going to have
to be creative to maintain her fitness and workout routine in her
Houston home. Before she fell, The sexy personal trainer workout at the
gym
included one hour of Weight training on a five day split routine, plus
an hour of cardio every day. She was eating more protein(about 1500
Calories a day) to help build
muscle and was keeping the cross training workouts with cardio to keep
body fat
low.
The Orthopedic Doctor in Tomball, Texas who gave her the arm brace told her to
start moving it after about two weeks and that was the only push she
needed to get back in the gym to exercise. "It was good to take time off and I got
a lot of organizing and continuing education credits done while incapacitated" Houston in home personal Trainer Melissa said, "but
getting back my full fitness level is also important to me and I do not
want to go too long because I feel it will limit my potential".
She is an expert at designing workout and weight loss programs for
OTHER people with injuries in the past so it has been a cinch to attack
her own exercise routine for a similar
re-vamping. Her plan was to increase the cardio slightly and decrease
the weight training a lot to allow her arm time to heal.Currently she
is doing workouts to lose some weight without
sacrificing muscle. She has cut back on her calories to 1000 calories a
day and is doing kick boxing twice a week, Spinning twice a week,
machine weights on the lightest level twice a week and walking every
night for a half hour.
Personal Trainer Melissa is already seeing results and has lost about
four pounds. She feels tighter and her abs are getting more cut with
the increased cardio, plus the cardio kick boxing really focus's on abs. "It is
hard to punch with the one arm but other than that I can do most of the
workout", Melissa said. I enjoy the class so much plus the other
participants really motivate me which is a plus because I need more incentive when
it is harder because the arm is awkward."
