I am the Hippo

See the resemblance?
No?
It's okay, neither do I.

Hippos are my favorite animal.  My second favorite is the giraffe but, that's a different post.  I love hippos.  I could even go as far as to call them my power animal.

I feel like people get the wrong idea when I tell them that if I were an animal I'd be a hippo.  Do I view myself as a 6,500 pound beast?  No, I don't.  Here's a few reasons why I relate with hippos.

• They eat around 80 pounds of grass a nite -- I think I could eat that many vegetables a nite.  An 80 pound salad sounds amazing!
• They run fast for short periods -- I HATE running.  I'm horrible at running,  I do sprints on the treadmill occasionally but, for the most part, I stay far, far away from anything that has to do with runnning

And they #1 reason why I relate to them is that they spend up to 16 hours a day in the watter.  I love being in the or near water.  That's a big reason why I lived in a beachfront community for so long.

As long as I can remember, water has soothed me.  When summer comes around I am so happy.  I have a reason to be at the pool or beach all day.  

So, when one of my clients mentioned he was selling his stand up paddleboard I was more than happy to take it off his hands.  I am really excited to start using it.  Did you know that you can burn 300-700 calories paddling? 

I have no clue how hippos and paddleboards relate.  But I do know that they are amazing creatures and paddleboards are amazing things.  How do you feel about hippos?  Have you ever been SUPing?

Personal Training Via Skype

Since everything is going online.  It seems logical that personal training would too.  It's like a virtual gym but in your own home.  Working out takes motivation.  Even if you aren't leaving your house to do your workouts you often still need that extra push, a bit of guidance and support.  That's why working out with a trainer online is a GREAT option!   

 Did you know that people are over 75% more likely to reach their goals if they have a personal trainer?  I can help you reach your goals even if you aren't in the Daytona Beach area.  You can even squeeze in a workout during your lunch break at work.  

Before your first workout we will have a Skype session to talk about your needs, injuries, limitations, likes, dislikes, and figure out how to get moving in the right direction.  Once your workout sessions start they work the same way as an in person training session does.  I demonstrate the exercise and then watch you and make sure you are executing it properly.    Good form is key!

Equipment you will need:
Kettlbell
1 - 3 sets of dumbbells
Resistance Bands
Yoga mat (optional)

**We will discuss how to decide on weight before you begin working out**
