Zion National Park - The Subway Hike - Jon and Cari Go From the Bottom Up

Sunday, August 22, 2010 at 8:36PM

Jon and Cari go for a hike! Cari is 10 months post Achilles Tendon tear surgery and is anxious to get moving. This was our "She's Back!!!" excursion which we planned as part of our summer vacation. Cari mapped out the route to the "subway" hike and we originally wanted to do from the top down, but flash flood warnings prevented us from doing the entire hike. We didn't know the area well enough to determine if even doing the hike from the bottom up was even safe for this day. Flash floods killed a guy just days before we got there, and safety was on the highest alert.

Cari's Achilles' Tendon is doing great, although the stability in her foot is still not 100%. There were many points during this hike that she couldn't "feel" her footing, and that will only come with time. The Achilles Tendon Rupture is one of the slowest healing injuries to occur. It is such a nasty break in lifestyle and can only be described as being "terrible."

Cari is a soldier though and as tough as they come. She says she is doing so well (despite complications from the surgery) because she is not letting her injury keep her down. She continues to do therapy and exercises daily, walks her active beagles - "Walter and Bindy" and lifts weights. If she were not so active, her recovery would not be going so smoothly.

Exercising on Vacation Jon Drags His Dad Out to The Gym at the Westin Kierland In Scottsdale, AZ

Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 5:48AM

As a personal fitness trainer, I’ve heard it a million times, “But I’m on Vacation! I don’t have to exercise!” Well, I think it makes your vacation more enjoyable. What better way to spend time with your family and improve your health and calm you down before baking in the sun at the pool! Last week I was in Scottsdale for vacation and a wedding and was able to drag my Father out to the gym at the Westin Kierland Resort. I was able to teach him some exercises he could do at home with the TRX, as well as utilize some of the great equipment they had at the Resort. We had a great time, and after the first workout, my Dad joined me each day in the gym and vows to continue the routine when he goes home! Go Dad! We’ll follow up with him in a couple of months to see how he’s doing… I say Talk is cheap :).

Training The Mind Body Connection with the PS3 and MX Vs ATV

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 9:21PM

Dr. Terry Weyman, DC and his son Tyler have been training for Moto Cross. Terry has Tyler training by using his Indo Board and playing his video games, specifically MX vs. ATV Reflex for Playstation 3. This type of training works on the autonomic nervous system and is great for training for motocross as well as other sports. In the future, I expect to see much more of this type of subconscious training done using the Indo Board for other sports while playing video games. It is great for training the whole body, preventing injury, great exercise, and LOTS OF FUN! It's more difficult than it looks, so good luck!

Specialty Fitness - New Fitness Equipment Store in Thousand Oaks

Sunday, July 11, 2010 at 8:07PM

When Cari and I first started our business Fitness On The Run in 2003 a certain sharp fitness equipment salesman named Tim Adams gave us some great pointers and was instrumental in our success as trainers. Tim used to send us out to his customers’ homes after they purchased a piece of equipment and we showed them how to use their new piece of fitness equipment. Usually we found out that they had some lofty goals, yet no plan of action on HOW to accomplish them. This usually resulted in us picking up new clients.

Tim was extremely helpful to us as trainers and focused on giving his clients superior customer service. This always made us look good and it was great to have someone you knew you could count on. Tim took a five year hiatus, but now he is back to Thousand Oaks and I am really looking forward to working with him again! He will be with Specialty Fitness as they embark on a new location and new fitness concept on Thousand Oaks Blvd. Go visit Tim if you are local and tell him Jon sent you!
