This is why I race.....

I invited my personal training client Scott B. to watch online while I raced Ironman Arizona. Though he used to bicycle, he had fallen into a sedentary lifestyle until a few months ago when we started working to gether.



Scott has already started to experience the benefits of exercise: better fitting clothes, more energy, fat loss, muscle and strength gain, and improved posture. But I consider my most successful work when I introduce a client to the love of a fitness lifestyle.



To my surprise Scott was a quick study of Fun Run jogging, in addition to the gauntlet of personal training exercises pictured here.



Scott texted me the day after my race, when I was feeling quite down about my results:

"Congratulations! Checked on you through the day and watched you finish! I've just registered for the Country Music Half Marathon on April 25th."

This made it all worth it for me.
