Maria Sets the Standard in Fitness Assessment
and Tracking Results
You will begin by going through a complete fitness assessment.
Maria will objectively measure every parameter of your fitness
level. The results from the assessment determine capabilities
and help establish a starting point. The initial interview and
tests will govern the type of exercise, equipment, and level
of intensity that are used. Once you and Maria are armed with
knowledge of your strengths and weaknesses she can customize
your workouts.
Another important focus of an assessment is on minimizing potential
health risks. Obtaining a health history is often the most important
part of the process. It not only allows Maria to gain information
about you but also allows Maria to focus on high-risk areas
and develop tailored recommendations.
The assessment will be repeated after you have been participating
regularly in your personal training and nutrition program periodically.
These objective numbers are used to monitor your progress.
Your Comprehensive Fitness Assessment
and first session may include:Questionnaire About
Your Medical History, Exercise And Lifestyle
Body Fat Measurement

Subsequent sessions concentrate on the workout that has been
created specifically for you. She’ll stay with you every step
of the way – demonstrating movements, inspiring you, answering
your questions, monitoring your progress, and adjusting your
workout as your needs change and your abilities grow!
Workout Program Components
Maria designs workouts with a balanced approach that addresses
the cardiovascular, strength and flexibility components of the
exercise program. Additionally, throughout the training sessions,
you are educated about the fundamentals of these components,
as well as the proper and safe execution of exercises.
Strength Training
Strength Training is essential to your fitness and health. Starting
around the age of 25, your metabolism begins to decline by about
5% every decade, and your body slowly replaces muscle with fat.
That translates to an increase of fifteen pounds of fat and
a loss of five pounds of muscle every decade. But with a properly
designed strength training program you can regain this lost
muscle, increase the number of calories your body needs as well
as tone and strengthen your body.
Strength training's many benefits include: reduction of body
fat, lower blood pressure, prevention of muscle weakness, improved
posture, strengthening of skeletal muscles, stress reduction,
improved metabolism (burn more calories even at rest), and improved
physical appearance through muscle toning and definition.
Cardiovascular Exercise
Cardiovascular exercise improves the ability of your heart,
lungs and arteries to deliver oxygen to working muscles.
By increasing your level of cardiovascular fitness you can increase
the rate that your body burns calories. Cardiovascular training
is the tool to rid your body of unhealthy body fat. You must
burn it off with consistent cardiovascular workouts.
Flexibility Training
Flexibility Training will prevent injuries by keeping muscles
supple. Additionally, stretching increases range of motion,
improves posture, and promotes mental relaxation.
How Many Sessions Would Benefit You Most?
A beginner new to the weight room will benefit most from a minimum
of ten sessions. This gives ample time to be instructed on your
program and receive feedback. (See Phase 1 Program below). Maria
suggests signing up for a minimum of ten sessions and scheduling
two to three sessions per week.
You may want to continue on with regularly scheduled sessions
one to three times a week, which makes you more likely to stick
to your program because you are accountable to someone else
for your exercise time. (See Elite Personal Training Program
below)
Or you may prefer to see Maria only on occasion, say
once every month, to update your existing exercise
program, or for periodic fitness testing to receive
feedback on your progress. For those who
choose regularly scheduled sessions, Maria
diversifies your program for continuing challenge,
fun and progress |
