He Can't Do What??

On my most recent trip to the gym Tuesday of this week...(maybe I'm slacking just a lil) with Eric we got in our usually pretty intense workout, but then got a little extra when it was all over.

You see, Eric is a brand new certified personal trainer.  I've been working out for a long time, but I enjoy going with him because despite the fact that I know many of the exercises he's showing me, he helps me stay in good form and pushes me to work harder.  Sometimes it's just better working out with guys....P.S...you guys excited about P90X2??!!

So, the workout's over and we're on our way out.  Before we make it to the door Eric stops to get all his equipment situated when out walks the owner of that local Retro Fitness.  I'm all excited because I'm thinking he's offering Eric a job.  He's good..what can I say.  WRONG!

He's telling Eric he can't train people at the gym because it takes away from the trainers they've hired!  WHAT??  I'm baffled.  First of all, anyone who was watching could see he wasn't training me being we were BOTH working out.  And yes ..he has trained his client there before, but THEY BOTH HAVE MEMBERSHIPS TO THE GYM!!!  I don't see what the problem is. If they're paying to come to the gym to workout anyway how can you tell them they can't do it there??

We were both pretty pissed off about that, and poor E (Eric) had to contact his client to cancel their contract because they had no where to train (they both offered alternatives so hopefully she's still his client).

My membership for Retro expires in about 6 months and I was up in there air about renewing it, however the owner of that facility may have done it for me.  Am I being too harsh on Retro Fitness??  How is it Eric's fault that the trainers there aren't confident enough in their training ability that they cause another who is just working out with his friend to now have to be cautious about how he works out there?  Is it because I'm a girl who's pretty fit, and perhaps their trainers clients think they can get better results with Eric??  It all comes down to one question really....                                           .                                                                              .                                                       What would Ava Cowan Do?

That Body!!!

I got to give it to Gwenyth Paltrow.... That chick is smoking! To be honest with you the blond haired/ blue eyed look really isn't my thing... neither are girls btw.. but she is hot. For a woman who is not so abundant in T&A her body is damn near perfect....her legs are just that. They're not too skinny, and toned to a well size for her. Her proportions work for her. That's hard to peg when working out. She trains with Tracy Anderson, who despite being arrested in the past for not paying bills, has made quite a name for herself in the Fitness community.

She has a few gyms throughout the county with the backing of Gwen and trains on a machine she invented called The Hybrid Body Reformer. Being a girl of fitness for the past almost 20 years what she has "created" doesn't seem to be anything different than Pilates with an edge. All of her moves are very Ballet inspired and the lack of any REAL weight resistance ie: 5 lbs and up, seems to me like those who are short on time won't benefit much from this workout...unless you enjoy doing 50-100 reps. Nevertheless... if you have the time to put it to it go for it.

She's done wonders for Gwen and Madonna, but if I had to chose a body to strive for I would go with fitness beauty Maggie Diubaldo. Her abs may be a bit much but to me she's got the "ideal" figure....for those who are into physical fitness. Her form is a result of weight training. I prefer an athletic build, but I would not be dissatisfied with Gwenyths frame. If Maggie looks familiar to you it's because you've seen her on the cover of many Fitness magazines including several covers of Oxygen. She's also a seven... count it.. 7 time First Place winner in the Fame Fitness Competitions. The girl is gorgeous. Tracy doesn't believe in building bulk or that women should lift more than 3 lbs, but if you want results and don't have a lot of time go for the MaggieD workout. Both women are outstandingly beautiful though. In the end it's all a lot of hard work.
