1:1 Improving Balance, Stability, and Posture with Coach Maynard

Welcome to this one-time one-on-one 30-minute session with me, Coach Destiny Maynard. I am a National Certified Personal Trainer with Distinction and a specific focus on working with those in Special Populations and Geriatrics, meaning anyone who has chronic medical conditions or is not currently a professional athlete. I will gather information about you to discover your current and previous forms of activity (no matter if it is/was specifically exercise or not) you have participated in and then build upon your knowledge and familiarity. With both my Health and Exercise Science degree (physical health) and Psychology degree (mental health) I am better able to treat you, the client, as a whole person verses just focusing on one aspect of your life.
For this class, we will be working to improve our balance, stability, and posture. The specific techniques we do will be determine after we chat and I can see what you are capable of. Safety will always be a top priority. I will require a high-back non-rolling chair (or the like) to be used during our sessions. We will gradually build and work up to more complicated poses or positions. Some exercises we will keep our feet in place, while others we will be moving our feet. Some exercises we will be closing our eyes, and other we will use our eyes. The trick with improving this aspect of our life, is that we need to ensure that we consistently and regularly do these exercises: no matter how simple or easy they seem to be. Repetition is vital.
We will set Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time-bound goals. I am all about reality; and acknowledge that everyone’s reality is different. I will provide a plethora of perspectives and think of every possible idea with you. Some ideas may obviously not work, while others might just actually work. There is no cookie cutter approach when it comes to working with individuals. Therefore, the healthy lifestyle changes that I will suggest will be specifically customized to you and your life. I do not have one size fits all scripted regiment for everyone. I do have a base knowledge about various ailments, but I will first and foremost listen to you, your needs and wants before making suggestions.
Upon completion of this single session, we will decide if you would benefit from additional follow up sessions and how often. This first session will also provide us with a baseline in which we will be able to look back on and compare your current life accomplishments to.
My goal as your Coach is to help you acquire new and healthier habits that will encourage you to live a healthier lifestyle. These new habits will become a part of you, and less like a chore. I plan and hope to help you reach your goals. Most importantly, these new habits will have been become engrained within you. They will naturally be a part of you. These new healthy habits will continue to be a part of your life beyond you reaching your original goal. The purpose of a session with me, Coach Maynard, is to broaden the horizon and keep moving forward.
