3 words to describe benefits…
Breath - Peace - Confidence
Why would you or wouldn't
you recommend these to someone...
I would and strongly recommend it for no other reason that
breathing is the most vital life energy.
The benefits of improved breathing from these techniques are
felt immediately. Since learning these techniques have found
not only a more relaxed state but also more self-confidence.
What have been some everyday
applications of these techniques that you've used...
Shortly after starting the training I had a lot of heavy physical
labor and running around during a move of departments in our
office. Using the attenuation quickly helped recover breathing
and found enough energy to complete the tasks at hand.
Candid comments…
The instruction was fully explained and demonstrated making
it very easy to learn.
Techniques are simple, easy to follow

PERSONAL TRAINING FOR COUPLES
Where do you see yourself in a
year's time...
I want to have a habit of weights, aerobics and flexibility
exercises in my day - at least 5 days a week. I want to get
back to my 150 lb. Weight and size 12 clothes.
In 3 words describe the experience…
Working with Merlin has been fun, informative, educational
and inspiring. I have tried gyms and personal goals alone
but having Merlin come each week was a BIG motivator and like
taking lessons in any subject, having a lesson each week was
great for learning, watching progress and continuing to do
exercises correctly. Merlin has an excellent attitude and
is a wonderful educator. There is no getting away with anything
but he keeps a humorous tone to the proceedings and approaches
the time in a very spiritual way. I totally love working with
him. Very inspiring on many levels
Candid comments…
This is habit. We need to make sure our cultural attitude
in this country is that exercise is a necessity. Support and
encouragement needs to be in the press and advertised. I know
that finding out that one of my friends is getting in shape
is a huge inspiration. Personal training for kids would be
wonderful! It appears that the schools are being stripped
of their athletic and artistic departments. What are those
overweight, pencil-pushing politicians thinking? Why don't
they elect people who show us they love to exercise and go
to the art gallery or plays or the opera?????????????
Ripple affect...
I notice I am more centered and focused than I have been.
I am also calmer - less emotional and better at dealing with
crisis. I feel more confident being stronger and know I carry
myself more erect and positively. I am definitely more body
aware - as I move, sit, stand, work,.
Now and then…
I think I always felt that if you weren't doing weights at
an optimum level - religiously every other day - that the
benefit would be negligible. However, Merlin's attitude of
pairing it down so that 10 min a day will make a difference
has shifted my own attitude. Now I get up and do my abs first
thing. They don't have to be part of some longer event. Also,
running out to the garage to do arms is not that big a deal.
If I miss a couple of days I really miss doing it and crave
the experience and feeling associated with it.
Make a prediction…
It appears to me that more and more people are aware of the
benefits of exercise and eating properly. I do not allow my
children to eat at MacDonald's or drink pop at home and I
have found that I am not alone in that choice. Adults I know
are changing habits to lose weight and exercise. My prediction
is that this will increase in popularity as the baby boomers
age. People (including me) are sick of traditional medicine's
results and diagnosis.
Memorable moments...
Getting up to 130 sit ups. I have never been able to do more
than 50
Advice...
One day at a time - just do it!
Definition of health…
I want to feel vibrantly healthy - lots of energy, alert,
content, strong, flexible and able to fulfill my potential.
