Well I am walking & living proof you are not a slave driver whose aim is to kill her clients!!!
Having not trained or worked out for many years since my half marathon, I was a little nervous about my first work out yesterday.
I have always wanted to, but never had a personal trainer and even after just my first session with you, I know I sure could have used one when I was training for my big race many years ago.
You explained the stretches, the exercises, the muscle groups, the physics behind the moves in a easy to follow manner.
You watched me do an exercise and offered tips on better posture, correct alignment and was encouraging throughout.
You continuously asked me if I was OK which I really appreciated as I don’t feel as flexible as I used to in my younger years.
I watched as you charted my progress and felt encouraged that you felt I did well and can increase our work out according to my progress.
I was sweating & out of breath a few times which felt really good.
The stretches before during & after left me feeling at least a few years younger & not stiff at all today.
Thanks coach!!

Well, time for another Blog entry!
Alison has had me on my new program for 3 weeks now. I LOVE IT!!!
At first I thought there is no way I could do the circuit once, but I have already worked up to going through it twice in my hour work out. I always start on the treadmill for a 20 minute cardio….complete with hills and moving at 4.0 mph.
Then Alison gets me right into the more advanced exericises that are not only a great challenge, but
feel so good when I am finished them.
What a great coach Alison is!! I love the way she always counts down how many more presses or squats I need to do, & when she sees me straining she really encourages me to finish my set of 15. Alison has a way with words & really helps me to believe in myself that I can Do It, & I REALLY CAN!!
Alison is always checking my posture & positioning when I am lifting the weights or doing leg squats to ensure I am not straining my neck or lower back. She will use her hands on my shoulders or arms to keep them in the correct position. She has taught me the correct alignment for every exercise
& I now realise how often when I did try lifting weights in the past, that I was not getting the full benefits from my work out.
Alison still has me doing Jumping Jacks & skipping & like her newsletter says, it is a great work out (as much as I hate to admit it…I know I will be buying myself a skipping rope to keep my legs in shape!!)
Thanks Alison!!!
