One of the greatest joys I have as a trainer is to watch the children of my clients grow up with exercise in their homes. It got me wondering- what kind of a role model are YOU for your children? Do you exercise on a regular basis? Or, sit on the couch like a slug? Do …
Just got back from a wonderful trip to Italy. Saw no evidence of the classic mediterranean diet! Every meal- at least the typical restaurant meals we ate- were filled with meats, cheeses, white bread, white pasta and wine. (Very few vegetables except tomatoes) What a combo….All the foods that I generally caution my clients to …
There’s an old saying that I always come back to… “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” When it comes to personal training, this is perhaps my biggest frustration. I can create the best, safest, most effective exercise program, but if my clients don’t do it, then what good …

I think it is key to buckle down and not spend in …

Since April of 2005, I have been fortunate enough to have my own cable TV show on Hudson Local Cable, CTV-8, called The Fitness Forum. Each 1/2 show features education, information and specific workouts for Hudson, Massachusetss residents. We have been on hiatus since August, as field hockey season interfered with taping of the shows, but …
In past blogs, I’ve talked about the importance of having concrete, realistic goals to help you stay focused and motivated. I’m sure all of you keep these goals and dreams in your mind, and resurrect these thoughts as you search for motivation. But, keeping your dreams and goals alive only in your mind may not …
