IN-HOME TRAINING

This is the most convenient option for most people as I come to your home with the equipment required and we spend a private session to ensure that we achieve your goals together.

The in-home program also allows you to set up your own schedule and once a program is established and I am comfortable with your ability to perform the exercises safely, you can be left with a program to continue on your own. 

The other nice thing about the in-home program is that no fancy equipment is required (unless you want it) and most of your training can be done with objects and materials you find around your home.

As an example, when I was younger and had to tend to our animals I would frequently be carrying pails with metal handles (the kind that had that plastic sleeve around the top of the handle that would rotate) containing varying amounts of water.  As I walked with these pails I would do a bicep curl by taking advantage of the rotating handle of the pail.

When I was in my teenage years I broke a bone in my leg that required surgery and subsequently a cast that limited the use of my leg hence muscle atrophy was a concern.  To deal with this issue, I was told to fill an old purse of my mom's with rocks, hang it from my ankle and flex and extend my knee resulting in resistance training for my quadriceps muscle.

For general fitness you don't even need 'props' or equipment, the resistance of gravity and your body weight alone can be sufficient to improve your general fitness and physique. 

What I do try to incorporate in the in-home program is many aspects of the athlete conditioning program.  Ok, so before you say 'but I'm not an athlete', read the philosophy behind this type of training.  Essentially the in-home program takes aspects of the athlete conditioning that are critical to our daily lives as functioning fit individuals.  These include core strength, balance, efficient movement, stength ... all functional fitness parameters.
