Exercise Explained
Below, I have listed the key components of a workout program, along with the benefits of each. As your Personal Trainer, I can incorporate these elements into your workout plan according to your goals.
Cardio
Cardio training strengthens your heart, improves endurance, lowers blood pressure, regulates blood sugar, increases weight loss, aids sleep, reduces stress and anxiety, strengthens the immune system, boosts mood, and improves brain power. The American Heart Association recommends getting at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of intense activity per week.
Weights
Resistance training will only bulk you up if you work within a certain repetition range. Otherwise, it will help you gain subtle lean muscle for a tight physique. Its benefits include increased bone density (important for women 50+ years old), improved posture, better sleep, maintaining weight loss, boosting metabolism, lowering inflammation, and fighting chronic disease. The American Heart Association recommends doing strength training at least twice per week.
Core and Balance
There is a common misconception that the more sit-ups you do, the quicker you’ll get that six-pack. But actually, abs are created in the kitchen. It only takes a thin layer of fat to hide them. But that’s not to say that core training won’t aid in achieving that six pack, as it directly works the ab muscles, (as well as the lower back). Other benefits include improved balance and posture, strengthening and stabilizing the lower back (which can also reduce back pain), and improved functional fitness for everyday activities, such as walking, lifting, and bending.
Flexibility
A lot of people skip flexibility training, which typically involves stretching. But it is important to incorporate this into your routine. Not only does it help rid the muscles of lactic acid after a workout (reducing muscle pain), but other benefits include protecting against injuries, helping balance problems, keeping your body supple, improving range of motion, and promoting mental relaxation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a personal training session?
Call or text 818-383-4075. Or use the form on my Contact page to reach out. I’ll get right back to you and invite you to book a free no obligation consultation. If you decide you would like to go ahead, we can schedule your first session at your convenience.
What happens during the consultation?
The consultation lasts approximately 20-30 minutes. We discuss your health history and workout goals, and address any concerns or other questions you may have. I will go over the type of workout plan that would suit you accordingly.
Do I need 30-minute or 60-minute sessions?
The length of your workouts will depend on a number of factors, namely your fitness level, goals, schedule, and budget. I will advise what I feel you need, but never pressurize, or try to “sell” to you. I can also provide you with some workout ideas to do at home or outdoors if you would prefer to mix up working out with me and doing some activities on your own.
How do I schedule my workouts?
Some clients prefer to stick to a set weekly schedule, while others like to book their sessions as they go. I respect that most of us have a busy lifestyle, so I try to be as flexible as possible with my bookings. Use text, email or phone to book.
Is there a cancellation policy?
Yes. I have an 18-hour cancellation policy. Once we have confirmed your session, if you need to cancel you should do so within 18 hours of the start of the session. Failure to do so will mean that you forfeit that session.
How soon will I see results?
This depends on a number of factors, but it very much depends on you and how well you stick to your exercise program. Everybody is different, not just in terms of genetics and your specific fitness goals, but also in terms of discipline. I will be there to encourage and motivate you, and help you every step of the way, but ultimately you are responsible for not missing a workout and what you eat. If you workout consistently and keep control of your diet, you will see results sooner.
