I used to be really, really skinny. I\u2019ve noticed more strength in my swimming and water polo.<\/p>\n<p>New Wave Fitness:<br \/>\nYou\u2019ve been with us for two years, is that correct?<\/p>\n<p>Kyle:<br \/>\nYes. I\u2019ve gained 25 pounds in the last two years. I\u2019ve improved on almost all my swimming times and have gotten a lot stronger and better at water polo. I thought that when I did strength training, it was all about doing the max weight you can, but Erick, my trainer, has taught me more that you don\u2019t have to do the max weight. You just have to do a lesser weight but with more reps.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been eating a lot more, and [Erick] told me how many calories I should be eating a day with my workout, and what kinds of food and what kinds of vegetables, and everything that I need to eat. I was eating a lot more junk food before we started, and he told me to supplement with other healthier foods that have about the same amount of calories.<\/p>\n<p>In my longer races, I\u2019ve [shaved off] up to 30 seconds (500 Freestyle). In the shorter races, it\u2019s improved anywhere from one to five seconds, which is a big difference in swimming. Before we started training, I had one or two sectional times. Now I have 7 or 8 sectional times, which is moving up to a higher ranking in swimming.<\/p>\n<p>New Wave Fitness:<br \/>\nIn working with us, what do you want to accomplish now? You\u2019ve achieved those goals, but now are you looking for better times? Are you looking to get stronger or bigger?<\/p>\n<p>Kyle:<br \/>\nI\u2019m looking mostly for better times, but also to get stronger and bigger and just keep me in better and better shape for my sports.<\/p>\n<p>New Wave Fitness:<br \/>\nWhat would you say, Kyle, to someone who\u2019s like your age, is kind of on the fence, doesn\u2019t really know whether to get a trainer or not\u2014what would you tell that person?<\/p>\n<p>Kyle:<br \/>\nI think it really helped me and I would definitely do it. It just helped me all around. I\u2019ve been a better, stronger person and it really helped my fitness in my sports. It\u2019s definitely improved my self-confidence because I can just walk around knowing that I\u2019m a little bit bigger and stronger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our May 2012 client of the month is Kyle from Southlake!
