Migraine

 

 Migraine

 

I would like to share with you how Bikram Yoga has changed my life.

I have been a migraine sufferer since the age of 6. My migraines were so frequent and severe that I would be completely incapacitated for 24-72 hours about once a month. In 34 years, I have seen countless doctors, specialists, and a neurologist and even had a CAT scan to try to get an explanation for my pain. I tried many conventional and alternative methods of medicine never ruling out anyone who claimed they could help me. I willingly tried virtually every type of migraine medication on the market to no success and eventually resigned myself to the fact that migraines have always and will always be a part of my life...Read more...

Fit City Training     
Fit City Training is dedicated to providing a fun, effective and goal-oriented fitness boot camp program designed for men, women and youth in Austin and surrounding areas. We make your goal our promise.

Our campers achieve results faster and improve their flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, body composition, agility, speed, balance and in totality, their overall health.

Fit City Training was founded in support to the City Mayor's health and fitness initiative to make Austin "The Fittest City". 
 
The Fit City Training boot camp focuses on toning, weight loss, general cardio and muscular endurance. I want all of our trainees to be able to do well in all aspects of fitness including running, upper body endurance, and core strength.

The workout day usually starts with jogging, dynamic stretching, abdominal exercises for warm-up; followed by the main workout which is called "total body exercises" (muscle confusion system for toning), 2-3 minutes of cardio, plyometrics for agility, 2-3 minutes of jogging/running; and wraps it up with a good stretching and the incorporation of few yoga poses.

Boxing and Kickboxing happen on the second week of camp. The 3 to 4.5-mile of run with 18 pushups and dips stations is added to the Downtown (Town Lake/Palmer Events Center-Butler's Park) camp. Beginners and advanced campers are welcome to join.

Personal Training boot camp-style is also available for individuals who would rather be trained privately, with a buddy or a family member. 
Sincerely,
