Approximately five years ago a friend of mine introduced me to Sync Fitness & Movement. Like many individuals I was trying to lose weight and had “flat-lined”. I had also been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in my lower back, making it extremely painful to workout. I was on a regular regimen of muscle relaxers just so I could sleep at night and make it through normal daily activities. Needless to say, I was VERY discouraged and did not entertain the idea of working out.
The first day I met Sync Fitness & Movement, he asked about my aches and pains, my eating habits, exercise routines and any diets I had tried in the past. He then put me through a series of mobility and agility exercises to determine what areas he needed work and where to begin. He asked me to track my daily food intake for a week. From this information he would be able to recommend a menu which would provide me with an appropriate caloric intake, as well as foods rich in the nutrients I would need to help with the weight loss. This was not going to be a fast fad diet.
During one of the early visits Sync Fitness & Movement recommended muscle strengthening and range of motion exercises which would strengthen my back, assisting with posture and eliminating some of the pain I felt. He told me I was “out of balance” – imagine that?!? Of course, I was skeptical, but figured I would work with it and see what happened.
We began with stretching, muscle strengthening and core exercises. Then weights and cardio were added to the routine. I began to see the pounds and inches disappear. Between the workouts and the nutrition plan, I had more energy than I had in years! What was even more amazing, I had not taken a muscle relaxer in weeks! My back felt better than it had in years and workouts were something I actually looked forward to doing. In March of 2010 at age 47 I ran the Little Rock half-marathon and finished in just under 3 hours. This was something I would never have dreamed of doing!
Here it is 2014 I have been able to maintain my weight and size for several years. As my daily activities/lifestyle change (as I age) Sync Fitness & Movement adjusts my menu accordingly. Yes, I still workout with Sync Fitness & Movement on a regular basis and will continue to do so into the future – who knows I may train for a full marathon!
Sync Fitness & Movement is not only my personal trainer but someone I consider a friend. He has the ability to make you want to dig deeper and push yourself to limits you would never imagine yourself reaching.
