Get Great results when hiring a Houston personal trainer with these free tips |
|
|
 Many
people have found articles on how to find the perfect trainer. As a
Houston Personal Trainer with years of experience, I thought it would
be helpful to trainers and their clients as well to write about what
makes a PERFECT personal training client. The perfect client has the advantage in that they usually get the most efficient use of their personal training bucks because they are able to follow all the criteria necessary to be successful in their program.
1) Houston Workouts have been done with self motivation, and has been done
consistently with moderate intensity. Studies have shown that the
readiness to change is higher when the man or woman has already become motivated
enough to start some training on their own and therefore chances of
success are improved. If a male or female workout person is anticipating hiring a trainer it is useful to
start walking three days a week consistently to see how consistent the workouts are BEFORE investing money in a
trainer.
2) The man or woman has already targeted some bad eating habits and is making some small changes to improve the diet and break out of bad eating. A person who says
they are unwilling to change the eating
is not really wanting to do what it takes to lose weight. Good weight loss eating adjustments are stopping caffeine, soft drinks, sugar
or desserts. Possibly keeping an eating journal or joining weight
watchers helps as well.
3) It is best if those wanting to start losing weight and get in shape avoid 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 is out of balance as well.
4) To be successful in weight loss and workouts with a personal trainer, keeping appointments and living in a nearby area and avoiding travel to prevent over scheduling themselves. 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.

Fastest way to get a passport in Houston and how to avoid waiting in the LINE FROM HELL! |
|
|
 With 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 |

GET Sexy ABS WITH HOUSTON PERSONAL
TRAINER Melissa's AB WORKOUT doing STEP jumps onto a platform.
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 do enough cardio to burn off
the layer of body fat 
covering the muscles. (photo above of 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 |

More Women prefer workouts with a female personal trainer for a variety of reasons
Workouts for women and outdoor boot camp workouts for men and women are popular in Houston. And one of the reasons 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 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 and she has a HUGE variety of workouts to
accommodate women at any fitness level. Women also 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, 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. "Men personal trainers often stare at their clients
and make the women uncomfortable", said one of Melissa's personal
training clients. 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. 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.
