Just Got Back From Buying A Classic Mustang

General July 28th, 2009

Well, I haven’t much gotten to speak on this blog half as much as I had expected, owing to all the time I have been roped into helping my pops fuel his incredibly wacky midlife crisis. Okay, I guess it’s not as far gone as it might be. How it went, I mean the way he played it out was to go and dress himself up like fonzie, and storm over to my house and tell me, in his hippest dialect: “Put some shades on, boy, you and I are out cruising for some classic Mustang sales. That’s right, brother, I’m going to buy one.”

Next thing I know him and me were hopping around to all of those wild classic car places that most people are just about convinced are not exactly legit, and I see the old man cut a check right there on the spot, for an unnaturally gleaming classic mustang. It really is one hell of a item. It sounded really nice as well.

I want to point out that I wrote that in the past tense. It sounded perfect for a short time, at which point it seized up completely. My pops tells me that it is just a quick thing to fix and he just needs to find the right part. Of course, it can’t possibly be as straightforward to pick up 1967 Mustang parts as it was like a million years ago, but he informs me there is a pretty sizable aftermarket for them still. As far as my Dad tells me the best place to find parts for 1968 Mustangs is by way of web auctions, because you can get them rebuilt and often even brand new. They might not be available for a nominal fee, though… Get real, we’re talking about half-century old automobile parts.

Not as bad as some midlife crises, I suppose. It would’ve been worse if he’d bought a harley.

Wonderful Plano Personal Trainer

General July 28th, 2009

We have been training with a Lady Trainers To Go Plano personal trainer and just completed our 36 sessions.  My husband and I were very impressed that each workout session was handled so professionally. Our personal trainer in Plano was always prompt, energetic, skilled and knowledgeable. 

She was also creative with our workouts. Instead of the ordinary, yet effective ways of getting in shape, she kept it full of variety. To keep us from getting burnt out on constant cardio and strength training, our Plano personal trainer incorporated Pilates, yoga and boxing into our workout sessions. Having this mix of exercises definitely helped both of us stay interested and motivated. Without her creativity those 6 a.m. sessions would’ve been unbearable.

Both of us feel that having a personal trainer come to your home is the ideal way to get in shape. Neither one of us is a huge fan of the gym, so working out at home gave us privacy, comfort and convenience. Our personal trainer also took into account our personal fitness needs and focused only on the best exercises to great results. Our schedules are very busy, so it meant a lot to us that she focused on only the necessary exercises. Having a trainer come to you definitely saves you time. More importantly, you get a distraction-free workout, which allows you to achieve your goals faster. We’re partial to our trainer, but are confident that Lady Trainers To Go is staffed with other wonderful Plano personal trainers. We definitely recommend this program to friends and family.
