PERSONAL TRAINING - MY APPROACH
As a trainer, the most important outcome in all of my client relationships is their success in attaining the goals that they/we set. Our initial meeting is an essential, in depth consultation that highlights a client’s past (family, medical, and exercise history), current exercise/fitness levels and eating habits and future goals, desires and needs. In accomplishing those goals, it’s important to combine resistance, cardiovascular exercise, and nutrition.In addition to being a Personal Trainer, I am also an educator. I want my clients to understand the whys and hows of my philosophies and instructions. For instance, I am less concerned with how much weight someone moves rather how they move it. FORM, FORM, FORM! You have to feel the muscle being worked specific to a particular exercise.
When it comes to cardio, hi intensity is the most efficient way to lose weight, body fat and keep your metabolism at its highest. Most people like to hear that low intensity exercise is better -- because it is easier! However, you need to burn more calories to lose body fat.
Of course weight loss requires smart nutrition to truly be effective! Exercise in and of itself has little effect on fat loss. When coupled with nutrition, the pieces to the puzzle start to come together.
Ann’s Lifestyle Fitness is about combining exercise and nutrition into every day making it your life’s routine.

Success Stories
"I appreciate and thank you very much for being my Personal Trainer. You are especially talented and highly skilled at directing me to perform many productive exercises. For example, you pay strict attention to me the entire time I am doing a specific exercise and make any needed adjustments in what I am doing. As I notice other trainers in the gym, their eyes and attention often wonder. You are tough minded. Your knowledge of me as a client results in your selecting the proper exercise for a specific end result and you insist that it be done, which is good. You put me through some very difficult sessions but I must admit that they are always fun. At the end of my hour's workout, I feel good about what has been accomplished. I will soon be 90 years old but I am much stronger now. I can do things now that I could not do twenty years ago. When I became a client several years ago, I threw you a serious challenge to extend my life through exercising and you accepted. I am convinced both of us will be winners."
