Background |
Nicole came to me with
the long term goal of improving strength in her back in order to counteract
a back condition that she had. Other goals were generally to “fight
gravity” and to improve her core stability.
|
Expectations |
Nicole expected to be motivated, given exercise homework for when I wasn’t
training her and to have me check on that on a weekly basis. |
Program |
• Initial
assessment to ascertain abdominal strength, flexibility and girth
measurements.
• A planned program specifically tailored to her needs using
heart rate monitoring and weekly progress checks.
• Friendly and expert motivational support on a regular basis.
• Specific back exercises to counteract sitting at a computer
for 6+ hours a day |
Results |
•
Inch loss
• Improved core strength
• Increased stamina
• Better balance
• Proficiency in use of the heart rate monitor (still used
on a regular basis )
• Improved posture |
Overall Impressions |
'How ridiculous,
I used to pay the gym and not actually go! I made the decision that
the only way I was going to start getting fit was to find a personal
trainer. Finding Barbara has been the best thing for me. After discussing
my objectives with her she started work on me.... she understands
the way your body works, she's brilliant at nutrition and is totally
motivating without being over bearing. Barbara is great, I can't
recommend her highly enough. I actually look forward to my sessions.The
fact that she loves my dog is a bonus!' |

Sarah Louise's knowledge of the body is outstanding, and she made sure that this knowledge of why certain things happen and reasons for doing specific activities is communicated as it helped to keep the drive alive. She also has a great ability to recognise where extra attention has to be put and she is honest in her feedback and will praise when it is earned.
