 Austin Personal Trainer and Houston Personal Trainer give their perspectives on keeping fit using cross training and spiritual development to keep workouts fresh!
When Austin Personal Trainer Erik gets back from his summer working at a Christian camp in Michigan as a kayaking instructor and counselor for boys, he will get right back into his rigorous running schedule at The University of Texas, and personal training workout routine with his Austin Texas clients. "Running started to feel like work to me but going to Michigan and working with the kids and having the spiritual support and teamwork of the other counselors helped me get back into focus as to what running really means to me personally", said Austin Personal Trainer Erik. "Running, or any physical activity is a natural expression of my own individual talent and when I do it to the best of my ability, I feel I am praising God and thanking him for the gifts he has given me" Erik said. Each person has talents and abilities and gifts which should be utilized and expressed and these things are natural and beneficial to the individual and to those around them as well.
Personal Trainer Melissa of Houston offers this observation on keeping fit..."when I was injured and could not workout the same way I had before, I realized that workouts had become overly important to me in my daily living and I had to adjust my thinking which was a difficult task" I knew that exercise and workouts were important for good health, but balance and moderation and flexibility regarding the types of workouts that were useful were also important for good health and I needed to adjust my priorities". Now my workouts are "still happening", but my focus each day is not JUST exercising and workouts and my schedule allows for time off as well as flexibility in my choices of workouts. The biggest thing is for people to realize that activity is a choice and does not have to be in a context of just the gym...when a person goes to work, instead of driving, perhaps they could ride a bike..when someone needs help with moving a chair, a lady can do that along with the men...its all about keeping active in any circumstance!
