Testimonial RG

I had taken swimming lessons many times before from childhood to adult.  When I met Phil, he guaranteed me he could succeed where others had failed.  It was not easy, but he was right, I am finally able to call myself a swimmer.

Testimonial CP

A session with Phil is not easy.  You may not like him while it is going on, but after it is over, as you see your body changing, you will appreciate him.

I have worked with many excellent personal trainers over the years and Phil is the best.  He is dedicated to his profession and to his clients.

Phil taught me how to swim and then showed me how to incorporate swimming into my regular fitness routine.  I cannot imagine where I would be without my swimming skills.

Throwback to a visit to Storm King Art Center. Great place to go for relaxing outdoor exercise and to hang with friends. I tend to wear a weighted vest or rucksack whenever I am walking, gives me a workout wherever I happen to be.

Went through this workout today. We used to call this “Around the World” back in the day. First I ran 1.8 miles, then I did 10 reps of pull ups, 10 reps of dips, and 10 reps of jump squats. I repeated the pull ups, dips and jump squats five times. I also threw in some leg lifts from the dip bar, leg lifts from the pull up bar and some inverted sit ups with the Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots. Overall I could see that I have a lot of room to improve and will spend the summer working on this routine. I think I need to put in a jump rope section into this workout, I can see I have not done much jumping in a few decades. So Jumping is the theme for June and July.

Nothing quite shows the grind as inverted sit ups. There is no pressure on your back, you can add weight plates for more of a challenge, and when you are tired and finished you still have to find a way to get down! I love ‘em!

I have no idea why I take these underwater selfies after I finish swimming. They definitely help me see my form errors, my feet come apart on my flip turns, my feet land too low on the wall after flipping because I bend my knees too much, I do not exhale as soon as my face reenters the water, and the list goes on. But the truth is I love playing around in the pool, once the workout is over, so expect to see many more of these!
