Mike's Video of the Week - April 20, 2012

If anyone has been following our Lose Weight Challenge, then they know that Carly ruled the first 4 weeks of the Challenge, back in March.  She was coming into the club twice a day, morning and night.  She'd participate in Boot Camps, and joined the club team at the Hartford 5K on St. Patrick's Day weekend.  She was owning her weight loss.  Recently, she was dethroned by another girl, and Carly was not happy.  She is highly competitive and HATES being stuck at #2.

Because Carly has a very specific goal in mind, and wants to continue to lose weight, she has opted to start participating in one-on-one personal training with Mike Josephson, a NASM certified personal trainer here at Snap.  She's highly motivated and ready to work.  You'll have to check back in after April 30th to see how she does!  In the meantime, enjoy this video of one of Carly's workouts with Mike.  Hopefully it'll inspire you to go after your dreams, and improve your health and fitness. 

Interested in Mike's use of the unstable surface of the BOSU ball here in this workout?  Ask him why he chose this type of training for Carly the next time you see him in the club, and see if he can come up with something for you!

Personal Training Success Story: Kelly Mazzola

"Training with Mike has helped me realize that I'm a lot stronger than I thought.  His motivational approach and positive attitude helped me break through a lot of what I previously thought I 'just couldn't do.'  He pushes me just the right amount, cheers me on and gives me the confidence I need to succeed.  I am so happy with the muscle definition in my arms, shoulders, and legs.  I walk up to people now and ask them to feel my triceps- don't worry- they are people I know!!  It is never easy - but it's not supposed to be.  Training with Mike is always challenging and always rewarding.  Mike will help you reach your fitness goals and be a more fit, stronger person." - Kelly Mazzola
