Jennifer Marnell on Oprah and in People Magazine

Ok — Not sure if you all saw her but Jennifer Marnell was in People Magazine and on Oprah. Jennifer lost almost 200 pounds through a variety of methods including working out at Gold’s Gym Douglasville. She loved the process of personal training and group fitness classes so much that she decided to be a trainer. Now, she is not a board certified personal trainer but she is a great group fitness instructor if you like to take classes or want some inspiration.

Congrats to Jennifer on both her Oprah appearance and being in People magazine

Quick workout tips from Douglasville Personal Trainer, Dave Hansey

During the holidays, I see people every day here in Douglasville and at the gym who are trying to squeeze too much into one day.

But I have to ask you to HONESTLY answer if the 45 minutes to an hour of working out is something that you don’t “have time for”. Do you REALLY not have an hour a day? So you have dropped out all those activities like TV watching that don’t really add to your life.

So now that you have got honest with yourself, you need to find a time-saving way to knock out that workout.

So rather than try you usual workout, fitness class or group fitness activity, it may time for something quick to get yourself in and out of the gym. So here is my suggestion. Expedite things by focusing on YOU. So group fitness may not be the best use of your time if you don’t get an awesome workout from it. Classes like Ride or spinning are great cardio workouts and you are done quickly so if that still fits with your time allowance, DO IT. If the timing of the fitness class does not, then get on the treadmill and punch it out QUICK. Then you can get some serious weights done quickly too. Best way to get the strength training done, is to drop your rest periods and alternate between upper and lower body or do whole body moves (for example squats with a military press)
