Curious about how to get the most of your workout? Let me show you! Here’s what my training sessions look like!
Warm up – During the warm up we spend time foam rolling, working on mobility and movement prep, and doing dynamic stretches. Our bodies are not like cars that can go 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. By warming up our bodies, we get our heart rate up and our muscles warm so we can prevent injury and prepare us for the work we’re about to do in our session!
Strength Training – Now to the really fun part – strength training! I incorporate a variety of exercises from machines to free weights to bodyweight exercises. I train full body in my clients’ sessions so we can work every muscle group and not miss anything! I also like doing circuits so that we can work many muscle groups in one session.
Cardio – This is more of a bonus, but if there’s extra time I’ll throw in some cardio into our workouts. This can be kettlebell swings, ball slams, or HIIT exercises. Sometimes I’ll have clients warm up with cardio or sprinkle cardio in throughout the session as well! That way we can have aerobic and anaerobic conditioning too.
Stretching – We end our workouts with stretching which helps improve flexibility, brings our heart rate back to resting, and allows your body to recover! Similar to how we prepare our bodies for the workout, we also need to “cooldown” and bring our bodies back to our normal resting state. This also allows the blood to circulate back to the heart and not pool into your arms and legs. You’ll also feel less stiff when you stretch after the workout.
My sessions are well-rounded and incorporate all aspects of fitness. We warm up with foam rolling and mobility, strength train with weights and/or bodyweight, sprinkle in some cardio, and end with stretching. If this kind of training sounds like you’re vibe, contact me here!
