Even though she has been a fitness instructor for over 15 years Sherry Seales does not just view this as a job, but rather a way of life.She finds joy in what she does, being able to keep fit, look good and to stay healthy.Being a resident of Tunapuna, Sherry saw no other way of spreading her passion and joy but by giving back to her community. Working at Go Figure Fitness Center also in Tunapuna, Sherry along with the members of the center provide clients with a unique, comfortable atmosphere where they can relax while training and focus on becoming a healthier individual.
Sherry is always excited about discussing health benefits with clients and loves motivating them, by showing them the importance of living a healthy life through exercise."To me, it is all about the approach, the way you approach an individual, shows in the end result. Some people may have a hectic schedule and some may even have reservations about exercising, but once the approach is right the same individuals will be extremely excited and want to do it all on their own," she says."Another motivating force for me to keep doing what I do and it should be so for many others, is the positive comments people make about your look; that alone can be inspiration for exercising," Seales adds.
However, exercising is not only about looking good but is also for prolonged life. Sherry explains that exercise does not go alone; instead, if an individual wants to have 100 per cent positive results, their daily food consumption should be means for concern.Her son, just eight years old, is also fit conscious, as he is also an active member of the Go Figure Fitness Center. Being involved in aerobics and spin classes, which she says, he is much better at it than she is. When school is at its busiest period, Sherry then encourages her son to do swimming only.Sherry believes that just talking about it is not enough, so she decided to share a few exercises that works the whole body and can get individuals on the road to healthy living.The leg press is great for the overall lower body workout from ankle all the way up the hip.
Squats - These works your calves, hams, quads and glutes. For more assistance two chairs of the same height can be used.The side step squat is also another way to work the legs as well as your thighs and butts.Cardio it can also be called aerobics. It involves swimming, running and brisk walking. These are exercise that raises your heart rate. Sherry cautions that if an individual has heart complications running may not be the wisest choice. Slow walks and at their pace may help.There are various exercise workouts that can be done in order to fully affect the muscles of your upper body, muscles such as the back, shoulder chest, triceps and biceps. Some of them include sit-ups, kick backs and front raise (which are done with dumbbells), shoulder press etcetera.
Some of these exercises do not necessarily require dumbbells, as the individual can you his/her own body weight. Weights are mainly used for building muscles, without it, the effect will be for toning and keeping fit.Sherry clarifies that new comers would be given a three week cardio work out only, which includes running on the tread mill and aerobics and at the fourth week the intensity will begin with very light weight. This however, will go according to the person's preference and reason for coming to the gym; toning or muscle building.
