Trainer Notes: Week 9

Training Positives:
Lori has found new strengths within herself, she has pushed harder than ever before and started enjoying some of the sessions – especially cardio! This was a major breakthrough for her. Lori’s body awareness has improved significantly along with her coordination and balance.!

Training Negatives:
Lori has been fairly tight and stiff throughout the week; we chose to incorporate yoga once per week to aid in stretching of the muscle fibers. After one private session of yoga Lori was feeling limber and her low back pain was eliminated.


Nutrition Positives:
She really engaged in nutritional workshop at Cub Foods during grocery shopping tour.

Nutrition Negatives:
Lori is not following nutritional advice and forming healthy habits. She has struggles with having a routine and structured day now that she is out of work.

Trainer Notes: Week 8

Training Positives:
Lori has been consistently progressing in weights, attaching movements to stimulate postural control was a big jump made today. Lori’s cardio endurance had dramatically improved and we are seeing heart rate drops from 15-20bpm in 2 weeks!

Training Negatives:

Lori’s flexibility and range of motion is still significantly less that we would like to see at this point. At home stretches to target the areas were highly recommended.

Nutrition Positives:
Continues to grasp the idea of not being on a diet she is not excited about finding healthier new foods that are less in calories to eat more throughout the day.


Nutrition Negatives:
Lori still struggles with high sugar foods during the weekends. We have been coaching with every drink (beer or alcohol) have a glass of water. She tends to go on benders that result in high fat contend foods the next day.

Additional Comments:

Assessment showed 8.4 lbs down and 16 pounds of muscle gain!!
