Monday

A sound mind in a sound body. Numerous studies show that diet and exercise relieve stress and help to build confidence and self esteem. These studies were done with a basic diet and exercise program and mostly did not delve deep into a more structured and effective approach. I fully agree with these studies and have seen with my own eyes the transformation someone will go through when properly coached and supported. The devil is in the details here, my clients always set their own short, medium and long term goals and I have general goals for everyone I train. As a trainer I know that my clients do need to be at a certain point physically to achieve their goals, it just helps the process move smoother and quicker. When clients start achieving these goals their confidence grows and the belief in themselves begin to solidify. I am often known to say to my clients, "You may not think you can do it, but I know you can." That is just part of the support I use to guide them to their personal goals. I don't judge other trainers by what they can do physically, but what they have helped their clients achieve.

Training:
Squat 5x3
Press 5x3
Pull-ups 3 x max reps
