Michelle Mattison - Week ten
Hello LYX Fans! As I reflect on the last 10 weeks of the LYX program, I'd have to attribute a major portion of my success to my trainer, Melvin Gay.
He has been not only my trainer but also a friend, nutritional consultant, and constant support. I never really thought that I needed a trainer to reach my health and fitness goals, but I have to say I couldn't have been more wrong!
Before now, I'd have to say that I was very intimidated by the weight training area of the gym and never ventured in that direction. I didn't understand how important resistance training would be in assisting me in reaching and maintaining my weight loss goals. On a daily basis, there are so many life decisions to make that I personally appreciate going to the gym and having a game plan created for me, as well as a coach who guides me through the process every step of the way. Melvin ensures that I am actually performing each exercise safely and for maximum efficacy. I love the fact that I don't have to think about my workout plan, incorporating muscle confusion or when I need to shake up my workout a bit for optimal results. The hardest part of my workout is just showing up! I show up and follow the leader.
Melvin is always there to encourage me through another rep, lifting 10 more pounds or perhaps 10 more minutes of cardio. Of course, some days this relationship teeters on a fine line between love and hate, but I really am always amazed by what I can actually do.
It is really impressive to me that Melvin has actually taken the time to understand my body and condition. He realizes that there is not a 'one size fits all' solution. I welcome his diet suggestions which keep me on track and offer variety within my new lifestyle. Having a trainer who has a genuine passion for helping people achieve their personal best has made all the difference. Melvin encourages me to be patient with my body and to enjoy the journey. I can honestly say that Melvin truly has a heart to serve his clients. I am so grateful!
Until next time,
Michelle
