COACH CYNDEE

  I have heard every reason for someone missing a workout.   Some are valid reasons and some complete bogus. As their trainer, I have to have a non-judgmental but firm attitude with clients when they miss workouts.   I am not in their body and don’t know how sick or not sick they may be. I realize not many people are like me and slightly obsessive when it comes to missing workouts.   I want people to get into a good routine and form great habits when it comes to their training schedule.   I personally plan my day around my workouts and when I get them done in the morning my day is so much smoother.   I make sure my workout is a priority and part of my day.

I feel they are temporary and they don’t create a lifestyle change.  I do however set goals each year for myself in my personal and professional life.  Last year I wanted to start a non-profit helping bring awareness to pet obesity.  I did not do that however, I did become more involved with my volunteering at the Nevada SPCA, which has brought me so much happiness I can’t believe I waited so long to do it.  I go there 1-3 times a week and walk and run the dog...
