When I hear many individuals speak about there exercise regiments, It always involves cardio vascular exercises or some form of yoga (stretching). I don't think you forget, but just don't want to take the time out to incorporate some form of strength training in your regiment. That's probably because it hurts. Even though strethching and cardio are great for you, you need to start thinking about when you begin to age and your muscles begin to deteriorate. It has to have muscle to eat away at or you will just become a frail soul. I trained a female named Deborah once, and she would come to a resistance training class of mine faithfully. I knew she had strength and was in shape because I trained her. She came to me one day and told me that her doctor said that she was losing muscle density because of her lack of strength. That was interesting to me because I do recommend clients and individuals to incorporate resistance training in his or her workout. I thought about it and got back with her. The reason she was losing muscle is because she wasn't doing any weight training to actually help build some muscle mass. When I figured that out, I immediately when back to lifting weights because I had stopped for a year and only did resistance training. When I started back weight training, I didn't stop doing my resistance training because I want to keep my muscles long, but I could tell how much strength I had lost in a year's time of no weight training. Just seeing my loss of strength, and to hear a story as Deborah's, I don't see myself letting go of the weight training anymore. I'm not saying you should lift heavy weights, but enough to help you continuously build muscle and strength.

I was born in the year 1982, in Montgomery, AL. My family would relocate 7 years later to New Orleans, LA, because of an occupation transfer. For the next 16 years, I would be a resident of New Orleans,Louisiana, where I attended East Jefferson High School. I then went on to obtain a bachelor's degree, May 22, 2005, from Grambling State University in Grambling, LA. For the next 3 months, I worked for AAA roadside assistance in Metairie, LA. On Saturday August 27, 2005, my family and I evacuated back to Montgomery, from our home in New Orleans East to escape the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. Two days after evacuation, Katrina left my family and I with nothing but the support from my extended family and the generous people of Montgomery, AL. In September of the same year, I was presented a front desk job at Southeast YMCA. Upper management noticed my discipline and will to get in shape and asked me if I wouldn't mind going through proper procedures to become a fitness trainer. Every since that opportunity had been presented, I have capitalized on the opportunity to help people live healthier lifestyles. I now have my own independent fitness camps (Resolution Camp) at Shakespeare Park and Brewbaker Primary School. I am a fitness trainer for the Hillwood YMCA of Montgomery, and Vaughn Meadows Apartments. I have performed fitness programs for the ladies of the state legislature, Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, and am currently the fitness consultant for MyFox Montgomery. I want to thank the Woods family for all of the opportunities they've presented me with. Also I want to thank everyone from Resolution Camp and anyone who has supported any and everything that I've tried to do positive for the city of Montgomery.
