Katy, TX Personal Training Facility

If you are looking for the best personal trainer in Katy, definitely take a look at Medical Fitness Pros. They have a team of educated staff members who have been in the business for years. They have an interesting specialty with their personal training, in that, they work with a variety of medical conditions. Having been in the business for years, it's expected that a personal trainer can help their clients lose weight. It's not hard to help improve someone's nutrition and exercise program and watch them drop 10 or 20 pounds. The hard part is when someone comes in with back pain, knee pain, or shoulder pain and wants to lose 20 or 30 pounds. This is when you really test the abilities of a personal trainer.

Katy Personal Training Facility

The facility they are in does not make you feel overwhelmed when you walk in. It's comfortable and a friendly atmosphere. The staff is great and so are the personal training clients that work out there. They offer one-on-one personal training as well as small group personal training, so you can find a program that will work for you. As far as I know, there is not another facility in Katy that even comes close to offering what they do. There are some workout facilities, but none with the level of medical expertise that the staff possesses.

Katy Personal Training Exercise

If you are considering hiring a personal trainer in Katy or Cinco Ranch, you should definitely make the time to visit Medical Fitness Pros. You can feel safe knowing they understand the right exercise program for you. I know they also coordinate with your physician when they are developing an exercise program for you, and that is head and shoulders above what anyone else is doing in the Katy or Cinco Ranch area.

Medical Fitness Pros Location

Workout Videos for your home

If you like a lot of variety and you would like to workout at home, I found a great website that will help you do just that. My Pypeline is a great website for accessing and downloading videos that you can use anytime you want. It is probably cheaper than joining a gym and you can repeat or select a new workout whenever you want. The great thing is that it is on your schedule. Use it whenever you want.

iStik

This is an interesting device that helps you stick your ipod to your clothing. You can find out more information on http://www.goistik.com/ or you can visit their blog at http://planetistik.blogspot.com/

It looks like a great device to keep your ipod in place no matter what you are doing. The problem I have with most ipod cases is that you can only put the ipod in one place depending on the case you have. This is interesting because you can move it whereever you need to.

A New Year and a New Mindset

I don't know why, but we tend to avoid stretching when we go to the gym. Actually, let me rephrase that, we don't stretch if we go to the gym or not. Take a look at the people you are around. Do you see people's heads leaning forward, their shoulders rounded, maybe you see their feet turned out when they walk? Maybe you should take a quick look in the mirror too. I know I personally have my right foot turn out simply because I don't stretch the calf muscle and do individual single leg calf raises. There are so many simple things you can do to correct your posture and avoid some of the neck pain, back pain, and even knee pain that you have. Paul Chek recently wrote an article about stretching and mentioned two excellent books:

• How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy! - This is a book for the general population that discusses eating habits, stretching prescription based on posture deviations, and some general workout principals. The nutrition is based on eating by metabolic type. It's a good book that I've looked through. I haven't applied it to anyone's routine yet, but it does have some great information. I do recommend this book. He gets a little weird in some parts of it, but you have to overlook that. Paul Chek is new age in his thinking. In some ways I would consider him a genius, in other ways I completely disagree with him. His principals are solid though and could be followed by the average person, which is often missing from a lot of other diet books I've read.


• The Golf Biomechanic's Manual - To be honest, I know some personal trainers that can't understand this book. It has the most detailed posture assessment I've ever seen, and I use it all the time. I can't wait until I can fly out to California and go through his golf certification class (based on the principals of this book). If you don't know the names of your muscles, you will have a hard time getting through this book. He goes through posture deviations in magnificant detail, explains what to do stretch by stretch, and how each stretch will improve your golf swing. I fell in love with it just from the technicality of it.

Going back to his article though. Take a look at it and learn the importance of stretching, and if you have trouble understanding it......that's what I'm here for. Just let me know.

Triathlete Nutrition

Many athletes don't realize the importance nutrition can make when you are training for a race or competition. Triathlete Magazine recently did a great story on 2 different approaches to nutrition for a triathalon. It gives you a real eating plan, how many calories you will be consuming, how long you will be racing, and when to eat or drink each item. No matter what sport you enjoy, when you want to compete in advanced levels of athletics, you have to take nutrition seriously. Triathlete magazine did an excellent job of explaining it to triathletes.
