personal training beaufort SC

I was at the Port Royal farmers’ market – you know, I was out there supporting the local farmers and doing healthy stuff… 🙂

When all of a sudden, I heard a loud SMASH!!! And in the corner of my eye, I see 2 cars do pretty much a head-on collision.

I threw Khadine (My GF) the keys to put our stuff in the car and protect her from seeing any carnage that might be present, and ran to the scene, thinking that I was about to see some traumatic injuries. Passengers were rolling in the street holding their legs and from a distance it looked really BAD.

When I ran over and assessed the situation, I realized that everyone was SUPER lucky and there was no serious injury – thank God. Then I realized a client of ours was involved. So I began to walk over to her and heard a doctor on the scene (another huge blessing) ask are you OK? Her reply made my day.

She said, “I’ve been working out, so I’m OK”.

Here’s the best part that many people who do personal training do not know: People told her she was going to be VERY sore the next day. So, the next day, I called her to check in and see how she was doing and she mentioned that she was a little sore, but nothing like people told her she would be.

I said, “do you know why?” And she replied “Why?”

I explained, the reason she wasn’t sore and didn’t have severe injuries was exactly because she has been working out.

You see, when you train properly, the body is broken down – like small traumas to the muscle, tendons, nervous system and neuromuscular system etc., analogous to a car accident. Each time you train, the body breaks down and builds itself back up. Your body gets better and faster at repairing itself. Your muscles, bones and tendons get stronger and protect your vital organs better.

Being more fit will protect your body during a car accident and increase your rate of recovery from an accident or fall and other things like surgery, ankle sprains. etc.

It quite literally can save your life…

It reminds me of my best friend growing up was the passenger of a SERIOUS drunk driving accident. It is truly a miracle he survived. The doctors did case studies on him because they didn’t know how he survived something like that. I won’t get into the details but it was REALLY bad. Aside from it being a miracle, the reason survived is he was a division I football player who had been working out and getting into “car accidents” on the football field since he was a little kid. Get my drift? His body was used to intense trauma and recovery.

Because of this, I created a new program called the “Car Crash Training Program”, this is where the trainers simulate car crashes while you are training by throwing kettle bells at you, pushing you into the walls, etc., it’s going to be a blast! Who wants in?

Just kidding, I didn’t create a program like that; that might just be illegal 🙂

So what’s the point of all this? Nothing 🙂 just to let you know that personal training at EarthFIT has benefits way beyond what you can ever imagine. It truly can create miracles BIG and Small. So keep it up and train like your life depends on it, because it seriously does.
