Fitness Training
I specialize in helping people start off their fitness journey or return after a long break by educating them on proper body mechanics and creating personalized training programs that would incorporate their fitness goals, movement preferences, busy schedules and potential limitations, such as past injuries or physical conditions. I am a strong believer that you don't need fancy equipment to have good functional, cardio, or resistance workout and I work with my clients in the comfort of their homes, my small studio, or wellness centers, focusing on ambiance and empathy.
I am big proponent of integrative training that combines cardio, strength and resistance, balance, mobility, plyometrics, functional training (training for daily functions), and dance core training (Progressive Ballet Technique) for a comprehensive body workout. I put a high emphasis on proper breathing and posture, both static and dynamic, correct form (optimal movement during a specific exercise) and a smooth flow between exercise modalities to ensure a harmonious adaptation to the physical load. The most common program request I work with are muscle tone, weight loss, balanc, mobility and flexibility, post-injury transition, and/ or posture correction. Being a long-term amateur dancer, I also work with fellow dancers, bringing my fitness expertise to improve dance technique.
I offer flexible training options to accommodate various schedules and financial aspects, including individual in-person (Northern VA) and virtual training, couples and small group training (Washington Metropolitan area), as well as hybrid asynchronous workouts available through a training app.
Start Today
You don’t need an expensive training equipment to give yourself a descent cardio or resistance workout. Start today with some ideas below.
Easy Cardio:
Make your next walk a gentle cardio workout by adding 1-3 minutes of brisk walk every 3-5 minutes of your walk. Start with short bouts and increase the time every week. Slow down if your chest feels tight or any abnormal discomfort arises.
​
Easy Resistance:
One comprehensive exercise to start with is a wall push up. Put your hands on a wall and back off with your feet into an inclined position keeping your back and arms straight. The further you are from the wall, the harder it will be. Bring your belly button in. On the inhale, bend the elbows bringing your chin towards the wall. Push off on the exhale. Watch your back and don’t let your hips go down. Stop if feeling any pain, especially in the shoulders or back.
