I had an absolutely incredible conversation tonight with Jim Guimond of Kinetic Heights in Charlotte. Jim was my trainer for that first year after I was diagnosed with diabetes and has been so instrumental in me changing, and saving, my life.
Recording episode 2 of the Up Off the Couch Podcast with Jim Guimond of Kinetic Heights
Jim talked to me at length tonight about his approach to training and motivating people who come to him looking to escape a sedentary life and get up off the couch. I got to peek behind the curtain of how an effective personal trainer approaches the challenge of inspiring and teaching someone how to change their life when they have no positive experiences with exercise to fall back on.
Whatever stage you're at with your fitness you will want to listen to Jim's motivational and inspiring words as we relive those initial scary months when I took my first tentative steps up off the couch.
Look for episode 2 to drop on Saturday.
