Cardio Plyometrics Circuit

DAY 2: 10.6.09

The Fit Test: INSANITY has begun!

The first of a series of Vlogs concerning my INSANITY adventure! Enjoy!

Each of the following named exercises were performed in 60second intervals with 30 second rests in between. So each exercise total recorded were each accomplished within 60 seconds! Hard-to-the-core.

Switch Kicks: 55 (110 kicks total)
Power Jacks: 40
Power Knees: 100
Power Jumps: 30
Globe Jumps: 6 (24 jumps total)
Suicide Jumps: 15
Push-up Jacks: 20 (I can't push-up @ 90 degrees though....so my chest strength needs major improvement)
Low Plank Obliques: 50

111/63 SYS/DIA mmHg
HR: 131 bpm (I did rest longer than the recorded 30 second break intervals, a few times, during the test....my heart felt like it was 100lbs...gotta keep it honest.)

All in all.....INSANITY. Got cardio plyometrics for 45 minutes tomorrow......Oh joy! Stay tuned...

About Kayla the C.P.T.

I thought ya'll may be interested in my first official BIO as a personal trainer!!! This doesn't include all the nifty formatting I did for my portfolio at the gym, but its the verbiage at least. Let me know you opinions/critiques!

*** *** ***

My interest and passion for Health, Wellness and Fitness were culminated at the beginning of 2009, sitting alone in a Manhattan apartment one cold February evening. For my story, February 2009 marked the end of a 2 year adventure in the Modeling, High Fashion, and Entertainment industries. Jet-setting nationally from the West to the East and back, I was in the business of fulfilling more dreams, goals, and aspirations than I was aware I had dreamt. It was upon attaining these goals for my modeling career that I decided to return to my home in California, settling in to pursue my education and health—I’ve lived a dream and now my lifestyle is the best I could dream of!

My athletic background includes 4 years of Martial Arts training and competing to earn nationally respected titles, while simultaneously dedicating 14 years to disciplines of: Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Tap, Hip-Hop, Modern, Contemporary, Lyrical, and some Ballroom dance. My background provides an ideal mind/body connection applicable to that required of a fitness authority. I pride myself on my integrity, professionalism, application, forward business thinking, and communication.

I am currently CPR/AED certified and am certified by the well respected International Sports Science Association (ISSA). I look forward to continuing my education with many more certifications in specialized areas including but not limited to: Nutrition, Kettle Bells, Pilates, Group Instruction, Pre & Post Natal Fitness as well as Youth Fitness. Life is a journey of learning and I intend to always continue seeking knowledge.

“Pain is weakness leaving the body.” As my fitness philosophy, this may seem a bit “hard-core” or military-like, but I assure you it is not masochistic in the least! Your routines will prove addictive because you will see and feel results. My focus when training a client lie in the areas of Core Stability/Development, Kettle Bell Training, Flexibility, Functional Training, Workout Efficiency and MUSCLE INTEGRATION

My job is not only to motivate you in our sessions together (I DO and I WILL!) it is also to motivate you to continue motivating yourself! There en lies a most powerful weapon … YOU! You and I working together as a team ensures your success. As your Personal Trainer, your journey to successfully fulfilling your fitness dreams, goals and aspirations is what I am all about.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts!”

I would be honored to be a part of your success story.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life—let’s get started!
