For most of my life I was overweight. It’s only been in the last 5 years that I’ve kept my weight under control by using proper nutrition and strength training. I have learned a lot about healthy eating and exercise and I want to help others achieve their goals, just like I’ve achieved mine. 8 months ago

I’ve been studying up for this certification while I’m in grad school for exercise science/kinesiology. Post-grad, I’ll be working on the gaining internships and experience in the clinical fields of exercise science with the goal to attain the clinical certifications with ACSM, and ultimately become a certified exercise physiologist. 9 months ago

.... I seem to have taken on a “pupil,” of sorts. He’s taken an interest in exercise, which, conveniently, is something I know about. I only took him on after seeing that he has a certain amount of dedication, which is refreshing.

Started reading the book that is used for the cert I want. Can’t do a cert at the moment but oh well, doing my best to prepare! 15 months ago

Two things I’ve already learned from my own personal trainer that are helpful:

1.) Knowing how much encouragement to give and when to give it. When something is clearly challenging for me, he will say “GO!” between each rep and it really helps.
2.) Knowing when to get me to focus on the set. I like that reality check!
3.) Counting reps with his fingers and aloud. 21 months ago
