Exercise is a Lifestyle.


At 28 years old with 10 years of career experience in personal training, and 5 of that owning my own personal training business I have come to understand that exercise has to be a part of our daily routine. As a husband, father, and personal trainer I feel that it is essential to be an example for my clients, and a greater example to my family. My key to staying in shape is staying consistent with my exercise routines each week, and putting a strong emphasis on nutrition. I eat 6 meals a day with a balanced ratio of protein, carbohydrates, fats, and good amounts of water. I do not deprive my body of foods I enjoy, so I reward my hard work on Sunday by having a dessert and dinner foods of my choice. Monday roles around and I am ready to get on track all over again.

When you sign online all you see are new ways to lose weight fast, and to get that flat six pack for the summer in just 30 days, but I am here to help you know the truth about those advertisements. The first step to reaching any fitness goal is to make exercise a part of each day, whether it is 15 minutes to an hour. My personal training techniques are not magic, and results do not come without hard work but combine that with consistency and you will have great results. Of course the nutrition plays 85% of your success with any fitness goal so please read my other blog postings to found out helpful nutritional information. You will feel better than ever before when you invest in your body's health!

Multiple Sclerosis

I recenlty have been involved in training an individual with MS (multiple sclerosis), and really have been excited about their results. If you have been diagnosed with MS, please know that exercise can help ease the symptoms of multiple sclerosis, but it's important to take certain precautions if you want your exercise program to be successful. The most important thing to remember is to not overdo it. You may have heard the mottos "stretch till it hurts" or "feel the burn," but those approaches are counterproductive for people with MS. If you overdo it you can end up straining an already compromised muscular system, increasing pain and causing your body and mind to become overstressed, overworked, and overtired.

My clients with MS are experiencing increased mobility, stability, and indurance through a consistent exercise program. If you are dealing with MS, come train with us at Body Sculpt Training and we will help you improve your everyday strength and help improve your quality of life.

Bored with your workout routine?

Following the new year excitement about exercise I found myself just tired of the same routine, and ready for a change. I took my inside the gym workout and turned it into a mixture of cross training, weight resistance training, and interval cardio training.  I already feel in just one week rejuvenated to reach new levels of fitness just because of that simple change in my routine.  I have been personal training now for 6 years, but have been training myself for 13 years.  I have found that every 4 weeks my body and mind are ready for a change in workout routine, or I begin to see less results and begin to get complacent in my exercise.  My clients have seen success b/c I change their routine for them, but I change it every two weeks for them!  Why would you change a clients routine every two weeks?  Well, most individuals who need a trainer needs the motivation, and direction, so changing their routine frequently keeps their interest and keeps their bodies in constant shock.  As a trainer I highly recommend keeping your routines new and in constant change, this will give you great results and allow you to look forward to your exercise.

Trying to Lose Weight?

"I'm trying to lose weight" has to be one of the most famous phrases in America! The true answer to this goal of weight loss is doing it in the right way, and I want to help you do that.

I am so proud of a client of mine that has been training with me for 6 weeks now and has lost 16 pounds, and close to 20 inches through-out his body. I share this to prove that it is possible to see incredible results with weight loss and toning, but you have to be consistent and disciplined.

I use routines for weight loss that involves resistance training, cardiovascular, and plyometrics all in one. With this you maintain a high heart rate, muscle fatigue, and a high calorie burn. This part of weight loss is the easy part. The difficult part is complimenting these intense routines in the studio with frequent eating every 3 hours. This eating has to involve proper carb, protein, and fat balance to keep the metabolism working throughout the day and night.

Spinning Your Wheels?

Hi everyone,

This is Timothy Bridgers, owner and trainer for Body Sculpt Training. As I was performing my own workout routine in the gym today I noticed individuals that seemed to be motivated to exercise but found themselves wondering around the gym trying to figure out what to do next. So I thought I would give a few tips on how to receive some quick noticeable results.

I tell all my clients that working out in the gym or any kind of exercise without proper eating is equal to running your car without ever changing the oil. The car will not burn gasoline efficiently, and will not last the expected life span; it will age quickly. The body is very similar! The body needs the balanced 5 to 6 meals a day in order to keep the metabolism working and to supply the body with proper nutrition. This supply of nutrition will fuel the body in order to burn off unwanted fat and to replace it with lean muscle. If you are exercising and wanting to loose weight, gain lean muscle, and see good results quickly, you have to eat.

The exercise then follows and that is where my unique exercise routines work along side the proper eating to fuel your bodies into a fat burning fire! I key on correct technique and variety to bring all these elements together.

Refer to my focus on the coast article for more information on my services below, thanks.

Testimonial

I am currently a client of Tim’s and I have been working with him for approximately three months.
Tim has taken the time to understand my goals and match them to my abilities. I look forward to each week in anticipation of my work out. I had hip surgery a year and a half ago. While I experienced a rapid recovery I knew that I could not follow the same exercise routine that I had for many years due to my impact limitations. When I explained my situation to Tim, he quickly came up with a series of different exercises to address my cardio, toning, strengthening and desired weight loss issues. In three short months I have seen good results. Frankly, I began to feel results the week after I started working with Tim. He has a very good ability to keep me on task by challenging my sense of competition and ensuring that I am capable of pushing my limits. Tim also “practices what he preaches” by setting a high standard of fitness for himself with obvious results in his appearance and his overall health.
Besides all of the information mentioned above, Tim is an excellent communicator. He has shown interest in his approach to my requests and his demeanor allows for comfort and confidence. I find that to be very important in getting started. Tim was recommended to me by a close friend and that was the first thing my friend mentioned to me. Simply put, Tim is a good person, with a very professional approach to his trade and his task at hand. He has a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology and how these two things relate to a particular person’s needs and goals. I’ve been involved in athletics for many years and in the short time I’ve known Tim he has shown me the correct way to obtain my personal goals; correct being the operative word. It’s never too late to learn especially when benefits are obtained along the way.
I highly recommend Tim to anyone ready to take their health and well being seriously. He will make it fun with definite results. What more could you ask for?
