Attention!

Greetings. As of October 2011 all personal training services have been halted. I will no longer be taking new clients.

I have prepared myself for a time intensive commitment to Trader Joe’s and will be working five days a week at the store.

Thank you for your interest and support, and I wish you well on your way to the body you deserve.

Visit www.precisionkettlebells.com to acquire training from my most capable and loyal student, Mike Barbato. He is a certified kettlebell instructor with a Level II qualification and has practiced fitness much of his life.

Peace out!

What to test next?

Well, with rest periods of over 3:00 facilitating sub-2:00 laps, we will ook at session density, which we have not before, as well as the 200m, to test next time.

Can she crack 50% of 1:41 on her 1/2 lap?


Well, she ran a 100 in 18.65, so yeah, it is likely she hits 200m in less than :45.

This will be my first client whose running will be guided by testing, the specificity model, and the absence of effort [her mild distaste for running will be overlooked]. My plan is to keep her goal in mind, and refer to the specificity model of her exercise history in order to look at what has not worked in the past, and test ‘away’ from that.

Thanks for coming along.
