Hi!

I love snuggling my Tamu kitty and being outside in my garden. Ahh… everyday I need these things especially now. So I wanted to share this good feeling with you.

Find your happy place, everyday, and relax your mind. That’s taking good care of yourself so that you can be the best friend, wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, neighbor,… you can be. It is so important right now. I know that I am so lucky to have everyone and everything I have, most importantly, my good health.

Enjoy!

Move NOW! And Help Someone Else Do It Too!

A must read!

With this lockdown, we all need to start and/or keep moving, daily, inside, outside, on our patios, or decks, anything that works for you. Turn on some music to inspire you, put your tennies on, and just GO! Do it, daily, for 20 minutes. (It may even turn into 30 or 40!) Write it down, check it off, and share it with your friends and family so as to inspire them. Then pat yourself on the back! Do this everyday. Help the people you love. Wouldn’t that feel better than wallowing in this (temporary we need to remember..) shutdown? And wouldn’t that feel better than feeling BLAH, every, darn, day??

Let’s turn over a new leaf and help INSPIRE each other for the better!!

Mother-Daughter Team!

Amanda & Kim

Hi!

I’m so happy to have these two returning to train with me. It’s going on 8 months for them without a solid exercise routine, and that’s long enough. I’m sure that’s true for many people but it will feel so much better to get moving again. I’ll also have them do a detailed food log for 3-5 days and take a look at how we can clean things up and cut corners a bit.

Sometimes all it takes is a little more of a plant based eating style and more healthy snacks. And I always look at triggers, habits, and a clients’ overall mentality. I’ll advise regular exercise at least 5 days/week so what they are exercising more often than not. The amount of time, weights, CV etc will depend on the client, injury history, etc.

It is a blast training these two together! I hope they inspire you to not wait any longer, figure out a solid schedule, get out the door, and move. We have to keep ourselves healthy now more than ever, and the instant benefits of exercising muscles are incredible.. the important chemicals that are emitted into our bloodstream are so valuable in addition to the immediate stress relief and improved outlook on life. Don’t think so much, just go!

Enjoy, and know that I didn’t give up on anyone and didn’t quit the personal training profession like a lot of trainers I have heard did. I am in it for the long run! It is what I love.

Jon! Perfect Weighted Side Bridge

Hi! Jon’s very focused here with a 10lb dumbbell in a sidebridge. This works ‘core’ muscles which he needs to strengthen in various planes to compliment his golf and running with his athletic son. He’s got great control. He will hold for 20-30 seconds, 2 sets each side. I love that he never misses a session. Consistency is key!

Exercise! It Is So Worth It Everyday.

This is a an excellent, very valuable article by Dr. Kenneth P. Moritsugu, formerly Deputy Surgeon General and the Acting Surgeon General of the United States.

Good news: Study after Study show…

‘Study: Health clubs are not the sources of COVID19 spread’

Hi,

The above graph you’ll notice is from the CDC. We in the fitness industry have been exchanging ideas, information, support as well as study results since March. And we are bonding like never before. We are all staying optimistic that we can all eventually get back to our lives soon while keeping safe and healthy. We share similar views and are staying on top of the current reports from the CDC and the prominent specialists in the field of medicine, epidemiology, health, and fitness. We want you all to be healthy and fit.

I am in the health industry simply because I don’t feel that anything is more important than our health. Without it, we’ve got nothing, and we can’t do anything we love. Taking good care of ourselves, keeping fit, staying healthy.. from there we can take better care of those we love, nature, animals, our environment and hence our whole world. It’s a wonderful feeling and a viewpoint that is pure optimism. And I just want to spread that good feeling. That’s my passion and has been my passion my entire life.

So let’s get back to it and get fit and healthy again. I’m here to help you and will work with you to make it work, happily. Just let me know, and I hope to inspire you!! Thank you.

Working on Posture and Balance

Hi!

Are you working from home like so many people? So is Theary. My main concern with her is keeping her posture from suffering as she works remotely all day with long hours. These rows help her keep her upper back muscles and shoulders strong hence her posture will improve. She will be less prone to back, neck and shoulder pain, too. She trains 3 days/week with me which will get her fit pretty fast. I also counsel her on nutrition as part of planned appointments.

Of course with gym still closed in SoCal, our park works perfectly with plenty of shady spots, and I’ve got a bunch of equipment including dumbbells, medicine balls, the TLoop shown here, bands, balance disks and mats.

It’s September this week (5 months have gone by..wow!) so please call me if you’ve fallen off of your workouts, or lost inspiration. We’ll inspire each other I’m sure of it! Appointments available. Scheduling is actually easier now.

Enjoy your Sunday,

MK
