When I would work out, I would over work. I would be so sore. I felt miserable. I didn\u2019t want to work out, especially with weights. I worked out with a video\u2014I did my weights with that. I also did some cardio and things.<\/p>\n<p>But after working out with you guys, I started realizing I wasn\u2019t actually doing my weights correctly. I thought I was, by the video. She was very good about describing how you\u2019re supposed to stand and everything, and I realized with y\u2019all, that I was not doing it correctly a lot of the time.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\"><strong>Hut:<\/strong><\/span> So finding it hard to look at a video and get in the right position, you just noticed that that wasn\u2019t as efficient.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Patsy:<\/span><\/strong> Yes, absolutely. My energy level has increased. I have more strength. I just overall feel better.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Hut:<\/span><\/strong> And before, you weren\u2019t feeling as good?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Patsy:<\/span><\/strong> No, I really wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Hut:<\/span><\/strong> How was that affecting you?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Patsy:<\/span><\/strong> It affects my attitude\u2014my attitude with things that go on in life, difficulties in life. I just feel I have better strength to endure that. I feel healthier.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Hut:<\/span><\/strong> Before you worked with us, you\u2019d done videos, and I know you\u2019ve had trainers in the past&#8230;were you skeptical at all if we could be of help, going through our program?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\"><strong>Patsy:<\/strong><\/span> I\u2019ll be honest about this. I was wanting to do it for my husband. I really didn\u2019t think I needed it. Through this year, after things that happened to my husband, I had to exercise and not him.<\/p>\n<p>At first I thought, Why am I doing this? Why am I doing all this work? It\u2019s supposed to be for him, not me! Then I started getting more balance, like I said, more strength, and then I realized it was for me too. I had a different attitude toward it all.<a href=\"http:\/\/personaltrainersindallas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_1041.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1546\" alt=\"Patsy\" src=\"http:\/\/personaltrainersindallas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_1041-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\"><strong>Hut:<\/strong><\/span> Since we brought up your husband, let\u2019s tell everybody what happened to Kim.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Patsy:<\/span><\/strong> Well, he had some family [issues] early in the year, in April, where we weren\u2019t able to exercise really, and then we got back on track. Then in June, he had an accident where he broke his shoulder, so he wasn\u2019t able to exercise for four months. He\u2019s just started back again. Anyway, all four months I had a personal trainer by myself!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Hut:<\/span><\/strong> Not a bad deal at all.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\"><strong>Patsy:<\/strong><\/span> No! My fat has gone from&#8230;it was less ten&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Hut:<\/span> <\/strong>You dropped over 10 pounds. It was 10 pounds of fat.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Patsy:<\/span><\/strong> Yes. Also, I\u2019ve noticed too that my balance was a lot better, but my strength in my arms&#8230;overall, I did lose weight but more than that, I lost inches and lost even a couple sizes in my clothes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Hut:<\/span> <\/strong>You talked about strength. Some of the tests we do like push-up test and squat test\u2014how did you improve in those tests?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Patsy:<\/span><\/strong> My weights went from like 3 pounds; now I\u2019m up to 15-20 pounds in some of my weights. My overhead lifting of things\u2014I was more able to lift heavy things when I\u2019m by myself, not having to call my husband or have extra help. So definitely strength in my upper arms. I couldn\u2019t do anything&#8230;as far as my upper-arm exercises, this has been great for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Hut:<\/span><\/strong> How does that make you feel, being strong again and being able to do those things?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #942fbb;\">Patsy:<\/span><\/strong> It makes me feel younger. It makes me feel a lot younger. Also, I keep saying balance, but I never realized what a big thing that is, having your balance. I didn\u2019t even realize how off I was on my balance until I started doing some of the balance exercises. Now I\u2019m to the point where I can actually do them, so it\u2019s very encouraging. It makes me want to keep it up.<\/p>\n<p>There were times [with] things that were going on in our life [where] I just felt so exhausted, I wanted to give up. I think that because I already had that in place before all these other things happened, that I had an endurance level. I really think it kept me healthy during these trials that we had in our life\u2014I really do. So in that, I want to keep exercising in this way, in a way that I know I\u2019m not going to hurt myself either. If I lift weights wrong, I\u2019ll have somebody to instruct me. I have such a good instructor.<\/p>\n<p>I know you might be leery with the cost and things like that, but with New Wave Fitness, it is different than the other personal trainers that we\u2019ve had in the past. I would do it. It has been worth the cost.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t wait to get your strength and balance back! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.personaltrainersindallas.com\/try_us_free.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to contact New Wave Fitness<\/a> for a complimentary fitness or nutrition consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patsy: My name is Patsy Pedersen and I\u2019m from Dallas, Texas.
