Transcript excerpt from a YouTube video featuring personal trainer Ben Greenfield and several clients discussing fitness goals, progress, and the benefits of regular exercise. Speakers describe goals for 2009 (triathlons, Olympic-distance races, weight/muscle targets), testimonials about strength gains and motivation, and Ben emphasizing functional fitness and stress reduction through daily exercise with a coach.
From the ground up to the shoulder. Okay. So we're not pressing overhead. It's just ground and up. Okay. So.
A gym stick. And today Dan is teaching me how to do all my workouts at home.
One of the greatest things is aging is inevitable, but working with dude, exercising, working out, actually getting better. So I haven't noticed.
That inexorable tide as far as being muscle because I'm actually going the other way. So it feels really good.
My number one goal for 2009 is to get back in shape again and possibly schedule or compete in another triathlon.
My number one goal for 2009 is to do an Olympic triathlon in Coeur d' Alene and have fun while I'm doing it. Be fit and happy.
Ah.
More functional fitness188.
Number one goal is to be able to ski without my speed.
Race 14 pounds of solid muscle through May 2009.
More physically fit and challenge myself.
To compete again in another race and just get down in size.
Ben has worked with me at all levels. He got me to the point where I did a triathlon last summer and I've gone through some stress, so I've lost it a little bit. But Ben hasn't given up on me.
He's been wonderful.
My left leg is a lot stronger and I think my abs are.
I like how I reduce stress.
Working out makes all the difference. Exercise every day and you'll live longer and live better, especially with a good coach.
Complexity, variety, a little bit of everything. Get the cardio going and then the physical aspect of it as well. I look forward to coming in and hearing you say, yes, that's perfect form because you are a form Nazi.
I feel so good at reaching my goals. When I think that I started out not being able to lift like even five pounds and now I'm a 56 year old grandma running triathlons. I think that's pretty awesome.
I just love Ben. He motivates me.
This skin is even more fun than this.
That's good.
I am.
I can be wall.
