Taking Your Lifestyle Outside of the KITCHEN

Hello! My name is Kathryn Jones, but most people call me Kat. I have a BS and an MS in Exercise Science and am a trainer at MFK. With my education and experience, I am starting a new adventure to help you stay active and accountable when you are not in the gym.

I am starting a blog series that will consist of one blog per month (maybe more, but to be safe let's just plan for one). The theme of this series is “Taking Your Lifestyle Outside of the KITCHEN.” A few things you can expect are outdoor exercise ideas, healthy and delicious choices at your favorite local restaurants, activities to do with your doggo, and fun ways to stay active while on vacation.

Now that you know about my new venture, I would like to share a few things about myself and my job. I love staying active and involving my dog, Snickers, in as many things as possible because everything is more fun with my pupper! As far as my typical exercise style, I love strength training and I occasionally partake in half marathons. I am most passionate about helping my clients realize their current strength and developing their strength to help reach their goals. When you see what your body can do, it takes the focus off of the scale. It takes the “I need to burn these calories” and turns it into “I want to be able to do this!” The best part of my job is seeing the “oh my gosh, I can’t believe I just did that” look on my clients’ faces when they make progress toward a goal. Whether it be doing a push-up for the first time, losing a pound of fat mass, feeling better after a workout than they did a month ago, increasing in strength, or feeling better about themselves. It makes my job so much more rewarding than you can imagine. 

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for my next post! 

Have an awesome day, 

Kat
