Personal Training

Good Afternoon All! Wow what a week this has been already. Yesterday was EXTREMELY crazy. We had so much going on that I didn't even have a chance to post a Motivational Monday! So I hope you found some kind of motivation via the web, friends, family or whatever to help get your week started.

Yesterday was my first day of work. WHATTT did I say work? Why yes, I did. You are now following an official Gold's Gym Personal Trainer! HA! It happened so fast. As some of you that follow me may know that I have been very interested in getting into personal training but just haven't had the right opportunity yet. So last week when we were at the gym my awesome, very forward husband just brought the topic up to one of the staff at our gym, we had a meeting Friday and BOOM. Monday was my first day and it was great. I met everyone, got 3 clients and started learning the ropes. I can tell this is going to be a great fit for me because both Joshua and I can train clients (he will be doing this on a part time basis seeing as how he plays a huge role in his job now and that will take most of his attention), we take on as many clients as we can handle, we come up with our own training as we see fit for each client and really have great open communication with the Personal Training director. He's a really nice, easy going guy that just expects us to do our very best to give clients a great experience and help them meet their goals. Tomorrow is my first client and I'm just so excited to get going!

As far as mine and Joshua's training, this is the last week of our current routine. We have followed our current plan for about 6 weeks now so it time to change up the exercises but still following the FST-7 program. I love this program and again just have seen so much change in my body since starting it. The next 6 weeks however I definitely need to put a little more emphasis on my glutes and shoulders. Just rounding both out more and bring definition to my shoulders.


Ill keep you guys posted on how the training is going both with Joshua and I and now my new JOB!!! 

Have a fit day!

Fst7 Training Program

 Happy Tuesday to ya ;-) On Sunday I told you guys that I had another killer workout with Joshua and that I would fill you all in on what kind of training we have been doing. Our trainer is very in the know when it comes to what the pro's are doing, be it nutrition or training styles. He has taught us several new exercises that kick our butt! One of the training programs he has turned us on to is FST-7. Some of you may have heard about it and know the in and outs of what it's about but for those of you that don't know, it stands for Fascia Stretch Training. It was created by Hany Rambod who is known as the "Pro Creator".


FST 7

 Simply shredded has a great article here that explains what it's all about. I definitely encourage you guys to read the article, check out Hany's website here and try it out. We have been doing it now for about 3 weeks and I have really seen some significant gains. Mainly in my weak areas like shoulders and biceps. We started with the beginner level even though we are quite experienced in the gym. We never walk away from a workout feeling like we didn't do enough. It's very tough!!! Especially the 7 sets... Uhhh.

Try it, you'll like it.

Another thing I wanted to fill you in on is that I've decided to do the Palmetto Cup again. It's right before Jr. USA and basically I just want to see what kind of feedback I'm going to get going into Jr. USA the following weekend. Plus I wanna place better than I did last time. More like I wanna win overall, lol.... Last year I really didn't know what to expect or what I was really doing but this year is much and I emphasiz MUCH different. I'm going for the gold baby ;-)
