Yes, I can throw heavy weights around quite easily. I have, on occasion, loaded the leg press with 2X my body weight
and comfortably worked my legs. But now, in my new personal training space, Pilates4Fitness Movement Space, there will be no need for weights anymore.
I have established a new relationship with a great new community resource; OpenSky. More details about what you can get from it
in the coming weeks. In the meantime, they sent me a Pilates/Yoga Mat to test out from Aurorae Yoga Mat. Just pulled it out of the box and already I like what I see.
I just received a most disturbing call from an adult. A parent looking for private training assistance to help her teenage daughter develop a “more refined derriere. If this call had come from an adult seeking to refine and reshape her own body, I would have jumped at the opportunity to show her “what, how and how often” we can and need to work the body – and the butt – to tone, shape and define it.
