The Perfect Workout
“The Perfect Workout is, for me, The Perfect Therapy. A 20 minute workout, one on one with a trainer, in a private studio with Nautilus equipment for slow-and-heavy weightlifting to the point of failure. I chose the once a week plan, though you can do more. My trainer keeps track of my lift time, my lift capacities, and increases the challenge at a pace tailored for me.
4 months in – 40 pound bags of kitty litter became easy to lift in and out the car. It used to be a struggle for me.
5 months in – DEXA scan shows I am 1 stddev ahead of my peers, meaning my bones are stronger than typical of my peers. My PCP remarked “You’re strong” during one of the physical fitness annual tests.
17 months in – I am 25 pounds lighter than the day I started, without any major diet changes. I do eat protein after workouts and as my first meal most days.
TPW has a phone app that makes it easy to arrange workout schedules, change plans. They also have body weight monitoring apps, but I haven’t used those.
I am very happy with my personal trainer, Fran. I am an enthusiastic participant in TPW. One on one private workouts are very healing.”
