                                               Why Personal Training for You?

Agility:   There are many people involved in dog sports, such as agility, that have
                  problems keeping up with their dogs. Agility with sudden changes in direction,
                  balance and core strengthening needs to be practiced in owners, as well as
                  their dogs.

Endurance: Are you able to keep up with your dog? You may need to start an aerobic programs if you find
                        yourself getting short of breath before you have performed half the course.

Strength Training: Strengthening the major muscle groups is vital to your health, not only in sports, but in everyday life.
                        1. Increases the size and strength of muscle fibers.
                        2. Enhances body composition (fat to lean muscle mass)
                        3. Increase in muscle tissue corresponds to increase in metabolic rate. When we use less energy, the calories
                                previously used for muscle tissue are now stored as fat.
                        4. Balanced muscle tissue reduces the risk of injuries that result when one muscle is stronger than the opposing muscle.

Pre and Post Rehab: Fitness should be continued after rehabilitation for most injuries/surgeries and prior to most elective hip/knee
                replacements. For example, working the quads before a total knee replacement can make recovery
                time shorter because you have already strengthened the muscles, and continuing the
                exercise after rehab keeps the muscles toned.
