JEREMY THE TRAINER

I realize 99% of my posts are about Tyler and Chase... so the next two are gonna be about Jeremy and ME! haha. So Jeremy has been SO busy lately. I'm pretty sure this is the busiest he has been since his mission. A couple months ago he decided to apply for a personal trainer position at Lifetime Fitness. He wanted to learn some more about fitness, have a more structured day, learn more about sales. Lifetime was the perfect place for him because they take training SERIOUSLY. It's very scientific full of all sorts of tests you can do. You can do this test where you breathe into a tube thing, and it tells you your BMR. Basal Metabolic Rate. So you can know exactly how many calories your own body uses a day. It's neat because I took it and it turned out I was eating too few, I upped my calories, and I lost some weight - sweet. There are other tests for heart rate training to burn fat more efficiently, and all sorts of certifications he can get. He has really enjoyed all the experience, and it's given our family a much more structured routine. Both of us working from home worked fine, and would have kept working, but we both felt like he needed to get some more varied experience.

Anways, on top of training, he's coaching BYU's hockey team with his dad, and he's still doing all his online hockey business and hockey consulting. We don't see as much of him as we'd like, but we know the schedule wont be like this forever. Eventually he'll be able to make his own schedule at Lifetime. So for now, he's working hard and I'm REALLY proud of him. He has impressed me a lot, and he is actually quite the trainer. I can't believe how much stuff he knows, and keeps teaching me about.
