Houston Personal Trainer Takes Workouts Downtown

Abigail and Richard live in Downtown Houston and the personal training workouts they do are beautifully set off by the Houston skyline right at sunset. They are both busy professionals and their commitment to exercise and nutrition has helped them lose a significant number of inches already. Abigail a former gymnast and Richard a former football player, decided to do workouts together to give them bonding time as a couple and to enhance their lifestyle with healthy activities that would promote fitness such as playing tennis, walking, cooking together and working out with Houston Personal Trainers Melissa and Stephanie. Both had unique goals to meet and both have had to make adjustments, sometimes hard ones, in scheduling and eating, in order to see faster results. Abigail loves the three grain pancakes she has in the morning and Richard loves how they are eating at home more. They both enjoy the time together during the workouts even when the workouts are difficult. "I make the hour long personal training session count" said Melissa. "They do two strength building workouts a week with me and one kickboxing workout a week with Stephanie". Melissa has also brought in a martial arts specialist once and a volleyball conditioning advisor another time to add interest and intensity to the workouts. "Abigail and Richard like to be outside so the workouts often involve use of the med ball and start with lunges and a side twist holding the ball", said Houston Personal trainer Melissa . Shoulder presses and tricep presses are also good to do with a med ball because each person has to squeeze the ball while doing the movement which makes the exercise even more difficult. When they can keep up, Abigail and Richard are quick to " high five" each other and when they are tired they know to rest and drink water. Stretching happens at the end of each workout and even though they don't love yoga, they have learned a few moves that are helpful. When the Houston weather has been oppressive, the downtown outdoor evening workouts seem cooler with breezes created by the tall buildings which have an airfoil effect. They are  usually the only ones out there but eventually there will be more young professionals like them taking advantage of the beautiful downtown Houston  sidewalks to get in shape.
