Friday, friday, friday!

Good morning and Happy Friday!

Started my day off right, just getting in from the gym. Trying a different workout, 10 X 10 and boy oh boy is it rought but so far rewarding. I haven't been lifting as much, but this week I'm back and have managed to get in 3 lifting sessions this week. I rock!!!

The weekend is here so make sure you make some time to do something healthy, the weather is going to be good in the 50's so plan something outside wether it be a walk, run or hike. Whatever you thing is, make time for yourself and do it. You wont regret it, unless you choose not to.

Have a fabulous weekend and contact me if you need a training boost. My rates are reasonable and my energy will get you to where you need to be.

Happy Hump Day!

Its another beautiful day so those of you that like to workout outside, please get out there and do just that.

I opted to workout at the gym this morning with my fiance and it was tough, but good. Today was shoulder's and biceps 10 sets of 10 reps for most of the exercises so something tells me I will be paying for that tomorrow.

I finished it off with 30 minutes of cardio and I feel great.

Have a fabulous day!!!

If you decide you can't do it alone, please feel free to you my services. I can be reached at 718-448-1897 or e-mail phattberner@gmail.com

Hello, hello, hello!

Good evening, its Tuesday already!

 I have not been blogging, but I have been working hard with the exception of today with this crazy weather and my schedule I was lacking the much needed motivation myself.  I did however manage to get a run in yesterday and it was a beautiful day for one I must say.

Tomorrow's plan is working out in the morning with my fiance so that should be interesting, we usually plan on lifting together and I stray and hit the cardio machines instead.

Have a great evening and remember, plan, plan, plan......

I read an article yesterday that was giving tips on how to prepare for getting a workout in and it has the usual suggestion like list it as an appointment on your calendar so you make sure you go. But one suggestion was new to me, it suggested you sleep in your workout clothes that way you could get up and out. My advice is a bit more logical, put your workout clothes out so you don't waste precious time getting up and out by trying to figure out what to wear. If you workout during lunch or afterwork, make sure you bag is backed the night before so you can grab and go. Sleeping in workout clothes, especially a sports bra for women may be a bit constricting to do all night.

Ultimately, you have to do what's works for you so you're consistent.

Have a good afternoon and keep moving....

Happy Hump Day!

Good morning, take a minute to look up at the sun and take it in. Try, well don't try, make sure you get out and do something outside today and get 10-15 minutes of sun its good for you and will boost your mood beyond your expectations.

Have a fabulous day......

Weather/Workout

Well, the weather is crazy yet again and the cold may tempt you to stay in and not head to the gym. If that's what you decide to do, remember you can workout at home. It may not be as intense as the gym, due to lack of equipment, but please remember not working out is hazardous to your health and we want you to be around for a long time.

Sample at home workout: start off by running in place for about 2-3 minutes, then squats (3 x 20) w/no weights but if you can bear it use cans (vegetable or soup) as weight, 50 crunches, shoulder press (overhead) using those same cans (3 x 10), 50 crunches, bicep curls (w/cans), 50 crunches and end with 50 jumping jacks and if you're feeling good I would like 2 sets of those. In between each set you should be running in place for at least 30 seconds.

If you have any questions or you need some affordable one on one encouragement contact me at phattberner@yahoo.com

DID YOU VOTE!

Good evening, I haven't posted in a few days, I've been so busy. With the gas crisis in affect, my fiance and I opted to walk everywhere we went on Sunday, which included a trip to the supermarket, which meant me carrying groceries so that was a good workout. If possible, try and get out and walk if you have to go somewhere within a mile or two of your home it will make a difference.

Have a great evening and remember, keep moving.....

Good morning, good morning! Things are slowly, but surely getting back to normal so that means daily workouts should be added back to your routine if you had to stop during the storm. Remember, a nice brisk walk around the neighborhood counts and you can see what changes your neighborhood has gone through due to the storm. Stay blessed...

calm after the storm...

Its been a few days since I've blogged due to the weather, I havn't had heat or lights for about 4 days. As of today, my lights are officially back on and I'm feeling things are slowly bust surely getting back to normal. With that said, gyms have been closed, houses have been cold and most of us have missed our daily workouts. I live on Staten Island so its been serviously crazy with people looting and fighting over gas I've been too chicken to even run outside. I did manage to get a walk in today and it felt good. The bad part about that it, my legs muscles have the nerve to be sore. You wouldn't like a few days off would be so tramatic, but its is so I'm committed to pushing forward and getting those muscles back into the habit.

Have a great weekend and I hope that you and your families survived the storms....
