Trainer Spotlight: Liz

1. What got you interested in fitness?

I grew up participating in both team and solo sports such as basketball, soccer, and gymnastics, which was a massive part of my upbringing. On top of this, my dad is a doctor and career runner, regularly participating in both full and ultra-marathons. His commitment to and passion for health and life-long physical challenge encouraged me to find the same love within myself. I hope to inspire my clients to see health and fitness as a tool to improve not only the quality of their lives but the length of time they are able to use their bodies to do amazing things!

2. Why did you choose to be a Nielsen Fitness trainer?

I chose to work with Nielsen Fitness because it’s a company that puts health first, using personal training as a tool to help people above all.

3. What’s your favourite exercise and in-home exercise equipment?

My favourite exercises are always changing based on my training focus and mood, but right now I love a weighted windmill or a reverse crunch to extension (cocoon)! My favourite piece of in-home exercise equipment is a dumbbell! You can do a lot with just one or two.

4. What’s your top health and/or fitness tip?

It’s really important to congratulate yourself for the little successes. Having short-term goals, where you can see the progress as coming in small increments, is really motivational to keep going towards those longer-term goals.
