No post this week due to an emergency

To all, My mom was involved in a serious car accident on Friday night and is recovering from surgery after todays operation. She suffered a Tibial plateau fracture. She now has plates and screws holding her knee and shin together.

I will not be writing an article this week. I am sure all understand.

Sayreville Library Fitness lecture series

To all, I have postponed my Sayreville Library fitness lecture series until the begining of the new year. I will post the actual dates when I know them.

The postponment was due to a variety of reasons: The program director got fired, the advertisments for the lectures never got to press, and I am working on a huge project in my in-home Personal Training business.

Add all those together and the best move was to postpone rather then trying to band-aid the situation.

If you want to be on my lecture email list just send me your email to perfect-you@comcast.net

I send out this list with updates to my lectures and unfortunately forgot to post my postponment on here as well.

Regards,

Eddie

Case study of a real client of mine

As I stated last posting I will be showing you how a Personal Trainer works with clients with a variety of conditions. Below I start with talking about a real client of mine:

CONDITION: Stroke victim with paralysis down entire right side of body. Though facial mobility is unaffected.
AGE: 57
YEARS WITH CONDITION: 11 years
HOW LONG TRAINING WITH ME: 13 months. Two ½ hour sessions with me a week.
GOAL OF TRAINING: Range of motion and possible increased mobility.
WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING: First I started with range of motion movements with her right side. All with the intent of breaking up frozen limb conditions. Then we moved into deep tissue massage and light Rolfing of her dead side. After about 5 months she started to “feel” in her arm and legs. What this meant was I was starting to elicit nerve regeneration. At times her arm and leg would shake uncontrollably (this is a GREAT THING) on the dead side. We started squats against a wall and other muscle building exercises to increase strength in her legs (she wears a brace on her right side that prevents movements of her ankle). I then started her on walking without her cane but with the brace on. She is now able to walk up and down 4 flights of stairs and walk 450 feet at a time without that cane. I have recently started reflexology, deep tissue massage and ankle and arch mobility range of motion on her dead side and am seeing great success as her dead side feels more and more. Recently I have been taking off her ankle brace and making her walk without it (this is a challenge) but one she is ready for. She is extremely happy with her progress – she actually requested that her husband watch our last PT session so he could see how wonderfully she is progressing. He was amazed.

I told her that she and I would ballroom dance a few dances at the gym under the lights and I have to tell you that I expect that to happen within the next 6 months.

As always - I am available for personal training either in person (if in NJ) or over the web. If you feel you have stalled in your pursuit of fitness and need some expert knowledge to get you on track reach out to me.

I am back

To all, I have returned from my self-imposed vacation. Personal Training really burns you out - more mentally then physically. But I must admit it feels good to be back. I am refreshed and ready again to take on the world.

In my time off I have not been idle. I may of landed the biggest contract a Personal Trainer firm like mine can wish for. We are in talks with a certain department for the state of NJ to provide exclusive Personal Training for this group. If I land this I may just be set for a lifetime. To make matters even sweeter my virtual training workouts have started to sell more and more. My clients are seeing a real benefit to distance training at a huge discount. And my method of delivery and support I provide has made them happy with their decision. I have recently been asked to build a fitness lecture series for a library in my community and I will be getting paid for my efforts. I am set to start my talks in a few weeks.

Good times are ahead and I wanted to share them with you.

Starting next week I will be going off my usual format and addressing real world cases from my clients and how I took their conditions and made them realize their goals. In this way you can see how a Personal Trainer addresses issues and manages ones care. I expect that some of you may have the same conditions and it might be great for you to see how I deal with overcoming them thru solid science and proper training techniques.

I have been performing miracles for my clients so stay tuned to see just how I made them better.

And hey, I was just picked by the gym I work at (I provide in-home training on the side) to be Personal Trainer of the month. I beat out over 120 trainers for that honor.

All my best,
