Trainer Notes: Week 3

Training Positives:
Pam made her first program charge this week and is enjoying it. The new program is a hypertroph program (to build her muscle mass) and has slower tempos at the last program and she is handling the change well. Pam has quickly made some progressions in exercises and increased weight. She has already made goals on some exercises to reach by the end of the program.

Training Negatives:
Sometimes Pam's outside stress level has an effect on her workouts. Pam has already improved this area in the last month, but could improve a little. No matter what her stress is now, Pam will still work very hard during a workout but sometimes her techniques will not be as good as usual. This is a problem that many people have and it is a struggle for people to forget about outside issues for an hour, but if a person can, workouts will improve.

Nutrition Positives:
Pam is doing a better job with eating program meals when eating out. Last Friday she was taking her kids to Applebee's and she had done her research and already knew what she was going to order to make a healthy choice.

Nutrition Negatives:
Pam is still working on her education on what foods are good and which are not so good. She also is learning that even treats come in different levels of "healthiness." An example would be ice cream. Pam enjoys ice cream, and it's okay to have every now and then, but there are definitely some choices that are better than others.

Pam was very happy last week because she went and bought new shorts and they were a whole size smaller. That's after 4 Weeks!
