Welcome to the FitHab Personal Training website of Luis Torres.
For the last three months I have been teaching natural human movement exercise skills and philosophy exclusively to one of my clients that reached out to me because of the interest they have in MovNat.
My client is a tennis player, CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) member, and a EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) student.
They felt the need to go beyond the conventional gym methods of training and to engage in natural human movement training that is the basis of human movement skills and sports.
We have done a lot of work in a short time and we have been recently working on manipulative skills, such as lifting and carrying.
Recently I have taught my client to perform the lumbar carry and the cross-shoulder carry (Fireman carry).
These techniques and the underlying skills to perform them are powerful and useful in life.
My client will be ahead of the game when they learn in EMT class about how to lift and carry people in emergency situations.
From crawling, get-ups, walking, running, balancing, lifting, carrying, throwing, catching, climbing, jumping and landing; we have done a lot!
All the skills and techniques practiced come together as a puzzle and are scalable so anyone can do it.
What I provide is a path and a building and sequencing of learning so that it all comes together smoothly.
I was one of the honored and privileged to be trained and certified as a MovNat Level 2 Trainer in the first ever class with the founder Erwan Le Corre back in 2012.
MovNat has done a lot for me as a fitness professional and to my clients. Very powerful physical education system and fitness method.
Here is a video of what MovNat is.
I recommend “The Practice of Natural Movement ” book as a great resource for reviewing what you learned in a certification course/workshop or just learning from it.
These are examples of what my client has learned recently that are in the book.
If you want to learn more about natural human movement and want to be trained by me, please contact me.
You will learn and do things that you think you could or would never or ever do.
Welcome to Luis’ FitHab site. Today I would like to give recognition to one of my clients that won a first place prize in car racing last weekend. My client is a private individual and rarely likes to share news of what they achieved in sport and life. I am so proud of my client for this and other achievements and for allowing me to share this news.
Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and support!
I was introduced to Doctor Karl Ehlert many years ago by a friend who’s a cyclist. My past chiropractic doctor moved and I was glad to find Karl.
Karl evaluates you and then gets to work. Usually I get dry heat for some time and then some myofascial work done. Some stretching is done as needed. Then the adjustments are done.
Karl has the knowledge, experience, and the healer’s touch.
Karl has helped me while I was in treatment for cancer. He helped me feel better when I was in serious pain. He has also helped me when I have traveled abroad and the plane flight has killed my back and neck.
I have been very happy and grateful to have Doctor Ehlert on my team of healers that have done wonders for my health and well being.
I recommend Doctor Ehlert to anyone who is open to his style of chiropractic expertise.
Thank you Doctor Ehlert.
Welcome to the FitHab site.
Today is a national holiday, Independence Day. Happy 4th of July!
On this day way back in the day my small children and I would participate in the 4th of July 5K race in downtown Redwood City.
Since 1939 the City of Redwood City has hosted an annual Fourth of July parade. It is the largest Independence Day parade in Northern California and attracts thousands of spectators.
I would train for months ahead of this race to get into shape to push my children in a stroller and run fast enough to place in the race. It was great to push my kids in the stroller and let them experience a fun time with me and hundreds of other runners.
Lots of training done to run more effectively, efficiently, and safe while pushing the kids in a stroller.
Techniques to be learned, practiced, and executed.
I miss those days.
My kids are older now and that time has passed.
But I can still teach others how to improve their running skills while pushing a stroller.
If you are running and pushing a stroller and would like to be safer, efficient, effective, and of course have more fun; contact me.
Thank you and have fun out there.
Hello and welcome to the FitHab site!
I am Luis Torres the sole operator/proprietor of FitHab personal training since 2003.
Me training in Ibagué, Colombia 2024.
If you are interested in changing your life through fitness, I am confident that I can educate and train you or anyone in improving health and fitness with realistic goals and habits.
As a pancreatic cancer warrior (diagnosed in late 2021); I am fighting cancer with my education in exercise science, the two plus decades as an experienced certified personal trainer, and the team of professionals that help me and others live longer with a better quality life.
As one of the major key components of staying healthy and fit, exercise has a crucial role in how you or yours will fight diseases and recover.
I went into the fight with cancer highly fit and it allowed me to tolerate better the long battles I had. Being fit helped me tolerate and recover faster from the chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and an extensive surgery.
With these experiences that I have, I look forward to helping others learn fitness habits that will change their life for the better.
If you or someone you know can benefit from learning and doing exercises that will help improve their outcome and/or improve quality of life, please contact me.
My training experience is not limited to those with cancer. I train older adults, clients with physical and/or mental disabilities, youth fitness, those looking to learn non-conventional forms of fitness (the ability to train anywhere), prevention/rehabilitation exercises, and more.
Thanks again for taking a moment to learn about me and I hope to train you or yours soon.
Have a fit and productive day!!!
