Trainer Notes: Week 2

Training Positives:
Lori has probably made the biggest improvement in her cardio workouts. During her first workout walking at 3-8mph wad difficult. Last cardio workout, Lori ran many intervals over 5mph and even at one time reached 6mph. Lori’s core strength has also come a long way. The first time she tried planks, she couldn’t do 20 seconds with her knees on the ground. Now she can do 3 set s of 30 plus second: with feet on the floor!

Training Negatives:
Lori is progressing in all exercises, just some not as fast as others. Squats are coming along slowly, but that is normal for most beginners. Lower body strength overall is progressing a little slower that upper body. Early on in the week confidence was holding Lori back a little, but that is changing quickly.

Nutrition Positives:
She is making changes weekly and daily. She made a switch to whole wheat bread and is looking into other whole grain products. She understands the difference between 100% whole grain and made with whole grains. She is also doing better with having proper serving sizes.

Nutrition Negatives:
Planning meals was holding her back a little, but she said she is getting better. She is currently learning about the effects of alcohol intake on a person’s nutrition and training.

Additional Comments:
Her confidence is improving every day. She says that she just feels smaller and better. Her work ethic took a big jump this week.
