After 20 years of martial arts, tennis, squash, golf and marathon I have to work hard to stay in shape -- definitely with all the travel I am doing and the increase in years I have been around. Since half a year I work out with Traci Johnson, a personal trainer in Chicago. In the past I have worked with Personal trainers before, but after a while I always get bored - not so with Traci however. What makes the sessions with her so good is that she knows how to bring a lot of variety to her exercises and bases the exercise she chooses based on the person's capacities and inabilities. She doesn't make me do stuff no matter what. Often she even changes exercises around to suit how I am moving that day. Next to training exercises, she keeps a pretty close check on the food side of things too. Every two weeks she will measure mine and my training buddy's fat measurement and weight - in short, she definitely keeps a close eye on everything making it less likely that we'll go off the rails. Traci is a controlled fanatic, nicely so without it being a burden. The only thing she can't handle - is when my son and I speak Dutch :-) A personal trainer to honour. Training with a Twist
