“Rhythm…roll…steady…flow” These are the words my personal trainer uses as I start my interval walk/ run training. I wonder what Courtney Cox thinks when she hears these words. (She and I have the same trainer). I wonder if Sarah Silverman jokes, “Oh, just like I do with Matt Damon?” (She uses my trainer, too) Yes, most days of the week, I meet with Grace Lazenby, fitness trainer to the stars. The workouts are worthy of any golden statue! Why – just the other day as I was on my 7% incline interval, pushing myself for nearly an hour, when my former trainer stopped by to comment on my tenacity. I guess she didn’t notice I had my upscale trainer by my side. Maybe she didn’t notice because my trainer is my iPod.
When Boots’ Camp started a few weeks back, I made the decision to be more regular with my exercise. In the past, I have whipped myself into shape with the help of some very talented and TOUGH personal trainers. Given that I am now on my “creative sabbatical” I can’t very well justify to The Angler why the trainer is a “necessary” expense. I also find trainers really don’t like to be paid with funny ideas and blog posts. What to do?
I discovered www.iTrain.com by a fluke web search. Lo and behold, I feel like I have struck Gold (‘s gym). For the cost of a monthly trainer, I can have unlimited workout MP3 downloads for a year in a variety of areas of training. They offer iTrain, iSculpt, iBallet, iStretch, iTread, iElliptical. You name it – they have a program to help you achieve your fitness goals. The music is fresh – although typical – techno workout tunes. Grace’s tone of encouragement is just enough push without being too much the drill sergeant nor is she too sugary sweet. She also walks you through various levels from beginner to advanced runner on the iTread serious. I’m NOT a runner’s runner. And I’m more than a walker – so I can tailor my speed to her directives. Now, I have personally set goals to reach those high jogger milage numbers she challenges . I don’t like those other iPod ghost runners beating me.
If you don’t want to commit to a full year’s membership, there is also an “a la carte” option that allows you to buy workouts individually to give it a test run (or walk) or purchase a packaged set of workouts. They are ideal for those who have fluctuating workout times or who travel and use hotel gyms frequently.
Studies show that women who listen to music while working out are 95% more likely to reach their workout goals. iTrain is an incredible and easy way to stay motivated, push yourself, enjoy your workouts, and get that Hollywood bod.
Check it out for yourself! www.iTrain.com
Cheers!
