How Do The Pros Stay Fit?
In our last edition of “How do the pros stay fit?” we’re speaking with Laisha from Los Angeles. I hope you have enjoyed getting to know the trainers of 24 Hour Fitness a little better!
Do you have to work at keeping your weight down?
I was overweight as a child, until I started playing sports in high school. I have to watch my diet, exercise regularly and run – on the treadmill and outdoors. I’ve kept weight off, but more importantly my body has been transformed by gaining muscle mass. I now have 17 percent body fat.
Is it hard to follow the same advice that you give your clients?
Yes, it’s hard to follow my own advice, but I can relate with my clients. I know it’s difficult to resist a drink or piece of cake at a social function. I love food, so it’s a constant battle.
Do you adopt the same nutrition and workout habits that you suggest for clients?
Yes, I do. It’s important for my clients to see me working out on the floor or on the weekend, doing the same things I instruct them to do.
How do you fit in your workouts?
Most of my training appointments are in the morning or after the workday. Every morning I bring my gym bag to work, so after morning appointments with clients, I do my own weights and cardio.
What's the best advice you can give someone who's discouraged about their weight?
Food is not the enemy. When I learned that it’s good to eat nutritious foods often, it changed my life.
