Mobile Certified Personal Training At Your Doorstep In Sherman Oaks
If a busy lifestyle is impeding your path to better health and fitness, we believe we can help. By hiring a mobile personal trainer who comes to you, you would save a ton of time. In the time it would normally take you to drive to a gym, find parking, and then drive back home, you would be done or close to done with your workout. You wouldn’t have to wait for equipment to become available, and you’d avoid unnecessary distractions. In reality you would cut your commitment time in half. It’s all quite easy: book the appointment time, we show up, and the training begins.
getting started
We like to begin with a complementary online consultation, though it’s not a requirement. The information we garner during the consultation will help us start designing the best program for you. We’ll discuss your health and exercise history, go over short and long term goals as well as review what your present diet and supplementation look like. Once we have an appropriate starting point we will continue to adapt your program as you continue to progress toward your goals. We’ll also go over where you’d like to meet and do your sessions (this can vary if you like) such as your home, office, or a nearby park. We often train clients at Van Nuys/Sherman Oaks Recreation Center park. It’s a large park with quite a bit of open space and plenty of parking. Finally we will set an appointment with the time and date to begin. You don’t need your own exercise equipment, but if you do have some you want to use that’s great. We carry kettle bells, adjustable dumbbells, various types of resistance bands, a Bosu stability ball and even battle ropes.

getting in some cardio
There is no arguing the benefits of resistance exercise, but something not to over look is simple zone 2 cardio. Zone 2 is the pace at which you can still barely carry a conversation without getting out of breath. For those of you with HR trackers that’s approximately 65 of your max heartrate. Zone 2 is excellent for increasing V02 Max (your bodies ability to use oxygen, which is a marker of heart health). You also improve blood flow to body tissues including the brain, burn calories especially from fat and reduce stress. Best of all you don’t need a gym or a trainer for this, just a place to walk or a treadmill. I have a treadmill, and it comes in handy, but I much prefer to get my steps in outside. A great little oasis right between Sherman Oaks, Studio City and Beverly Hills is Franklin Canyon Park. If you like outdoor spaces and haven’t been give it a try. One of the main features is Heavenly Pond. You’ll likely marvel at the turtles and birds that call this place home. Its a fantastic scenic retreat from the stresses of big city life. The paths and trails make this a great place to get your zone 2 in and there are areas where you can meditate, listen to music or just relax.

5 minute exercise breaks
Taking 5-minute exercise breaks throughout your day can significantly boost your overall well-being and productivity. These brief but impactful sessions can alleviate tension, increase blood circulation, and re-energize your body and mind. Here are some exercises you can try:
1. **Jumping Jacks**: Stand with your feet together and arms at your sides. Jump up, spreading your feet apart while bringing your arms overhead. Jump again to return to the starting position. Repeat for 5 minutes.
2. **High Knees**: Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Lift one knee toward your chest, then quickly switch to the other knee, mimicking a running motion. Continue alternating knees as fast as you can.
3. **Plank**: Place your forearms on the ground with your elbows directly beneath your shoulders. Extend your legs behind you, balancing on your toes. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels and hold the position. You may need to break the planks into shorter sets with a brief rest period.
4. **Bodyweight Squats**: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body by bending your knees and hips, keeping your back straight. Go as low as you can, then return to the starting position. Repeat for 5 minutes.
5. **Push-Ups**: These can be standard push-ups on hands and feet, bent knee push-ups, or wall push-ups. Do in sets of 10-20 repetitions with 30 seconds rest then repeat for 2-3 sets.
Incorporating these quick exercises into your daily routine can enhance your mood, reduce stress, and contribute to a healthier lifestyle, making every day more productive and enjoyable. 🏃♀️💪
