As a swimmer in college, strength training was a must; but once that was over I never hit the gym again.  Well, here I am, approaching 40, two kids later and let me tell you; I CAN TELL I NEED STRENGTH.  I always knew it, but never had the time, but the time is NOW; I HAVE to make it to the gym at least 2 if not 3 times a week; it is now one of my priority workouts.  I have been pretty consistent since January and I can tell the difference. My core is so much better, and when I run I don’t feel like I have what I labeled as “duck butt” as much.  I work my my upper body, core, and legs in usually 3 (sometimes 2) sessions a week.  The workouts are never the same and it only takes between 25-40 minutes a session.  If I can not make it to the gym, I can do it at home.  I do this by working with a trainer over the phone, it works great. It is super convenient, holds me accountable, flexible and workouts are fast and never the same.  I would recommend him and the program to anyone who is interested.
