Christiane says, "I'm strong now, and I feel younger. I'm very happy about it. I wouldn't want to stop the Perfect Workout."
As a German, Christiane Salvador had a different outlook on exercise. “We are not into gyms. We don’t work out. I thought gyms were for people who didn’t exercise outside. I like hiking and being outside.” At the same time, when she heard about The Perfect Workout’s 20-minute twice a week slow motion workout, she liked it. At age 55, she had put on a lot of weight, and was having trouble even putting her socks on. Her goal, though, was to work on improving her fitness, not lose weight. Running or other high-impact training was out of the question, since she didn’t want to worry about joint pain down the road. As she says, “What’s the point of a good heart, if the mechanical parts wear out?” She had never worked out with weights before or had a personal trainer, so strength training was a completely new experience. She was ready to dive in.
It took Christiane about three months to see the effects of the workout. “Right away, I felt so much better, and each time I worked out, I saw progress,” she says. After three months, she decided to change her diet, too. She cut out the chocolate part of her regular chocolate and coffee routine, and tried to cut down on the carbs and wine. “We Germans like our bread,” says Christiane. The result? In a little over a year at The Perfect Workout, she lost 40 pounds, with another 10 to go. “I have a nicer shape, and I bought more body-fitting clothes. It’s a nice balance with the muscles. I’m strong now, and I feel younger. I’m very happy about it. I wouldn’t want to stop coming to The Perfect Workout.”
Christiane likes the fact that it’s fast, she doesn’t have to get all sweaty, and she can go in her jeans. Her trainers at The Woodlands studio in Texas, Rob and Emily, keep all the data, which she says would be hard to do herself. “They both push me a lot. I probably would have given up before. They’re both great, and I’m very happy with everyone at the studio.” A side benefit of The Perfect Workout is staying in shape for one of her favorite activities. She and her husband met 22 years ago while hiking in Scotland, and they hope to do a holiday like that again, perhaps in Italy. Overall, Christiane feels that everything she’s doing now is a good investment. “All the money I’m spending now I will save later on future health care costs.”
