Hey! Fancy seeing you here. I bet you weren't expecting to hear from me (Claire) when you stopped by to visit the blog today. That's because Justin has graciously permitted me to join the Fitness Together blogging revolution by presenting to you a "case study," if you will, of one of our current one-on-one clients, Bob. I'll be posting about Bob every day (hopefully) Monday-Friday. We'll talk about his one-on-one workouts at FT, his personal fitness adventures at home, his nutrition (the good and the bad!), and his habits. I'm not so sure about Bob, but I'm SUPER excited about this!
Bob: The Basics
(Like the alliteration? Oh don't worry...there's plenty more where that came from!)
Bob is a wonderful client and has been faithful to Fitness Together Cary Lochmere for years. We've seen him at his worst and at his best, and everywhere in between. Bob is also a former smoker who has endured 6 major joint surgeries...if he can work out, anybody can!! With four children, a lovely wife, and a very stressful job, Bob should be commended for making it to FT at all during the week. In fact, Bob tries his best to see us 4 TIMES per week, at 6:00 am nonetheless! He's a perfect example of what we mean by our "no excuses" philosophy...because if anyone has plenty of excuses he could throw at us, it's Bob.
Bob agreed to be part of our blog for several reasons, highest of which is to keep him accountable and motivate him to accomplish his personal fitness goals. We're specifically focused on illustrating the difference between consistency and inconsistency in regard to health and fitness, and how they affect a person's workouts, nutrition, and results. We also want to give each of you a glimpse into our one-on-one workouts, because you're already getting a great look at our PACK programs via Justin!
Are you ready? Awesome! Let's start with some of the numbers from Bob's assessment this morning.
Age: 44 years
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 258.8 lb
Body fat: ~30%
Resting heart rate: 76 bpm
Exercise heart rate: 90 bpm
Chest measurement: 46.25 inches
Waist measurement: 45.5 inches
Hip measurement: 47 inches
The Goal
Before his assessment, Justin and Bob sat down to talk about some specific goals that Bob has set for himself. Specifically, he wants to lose 30 pounds. Generally, he wants to improve his cardiovascular fitness and strength his shoulders.
The Plan
Bob is going to come into FT for one-on-one private training sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday of every week. Because his work schedule is a bit unpredictable, the precise days of the week may change, but we still want to see him four times per week in the studio. Additionally, Bob will be working out at home using his personal exercise equipment, and we'll be logging that as well. We're going to be paying a lot of attention to Bob's nutritional decisions, discipline, and habits along the way (more specific info will be given for this a little later).
What do you say? Are you ready to help us cheer on Bob as he works toward his health and fitness goals? Fantastic! I'll see you back here tomorrow...have a beautiful day!
(I'm still working on getting a "before" picture of Bob...he's a bit camera shy. Until then, this picture of a walrus will have to suffice. Bob, are you ready to take a picture yet?)
