During a conversation
with Running Coach and Carl Lewis's Olympic Coach Tom Telez of
Houston, Personal trainer in Texas Melissa, learned that running up a moderate incline or hill of
about a twenty to thirty degree low grade, is very efficient for
building leg strength and for encouraging proper running
form..preventing over striding. Coach Telez compared it to moving a
car..if a person wanted to efficiently move a car would they run in
front of it pulling the car and taking big strides? Or would the person
trying to move the car get behind the car and push it using small steps
with rapid turnover? So running faster requires fast turnover of the
feet and this skill can be developed while running on an incline.

Houston Personal Trainer Melissa runs two miles in the morning and two miles in the evening to help burn body fat. These runs or rather JOGS,
are endurance activity however they are short enough to maintain muscle
and they are done on an incline or low grade which helps build muscle.
Sexy personal trainer Melissa tries to avoid stopping and
REALLY maintains consistency with the daily jogs.
Running helps burn abdominal fat
and keeps the butt sexy and cellulite free.
After the runs it is very important to stretch the quads (front of the
thigh) and even MORE important to stretch the hamstrings. Foam rollers
can be used to help facilitate this and the stretches can also be done
using a belt to achieve the full amount of stretch possible when there
is a lack of flexibility.
