About Us

Posted on December 6, 2011 by kmorales

Welcome to Delaware’s Mobile Fitness! If you are here, you’re probably interested in personal training. Unfortunately, looking for a great personal trainer can be just as hard as looking for a great hairstylist. And just because a trainer may have a certification or degree, doesn’t mean he or she has the experience and style that will suit your needs. With Mobile Fitness, we are very aware of how personality differences, styles of training and structure, and experience impact the working relationship between trainer and client. If you’ve had a trainer before, you know exactly what I mean.


All of our personal trainers are experienced, qualified and certified.  But what sets us apart from the rest is our experience, compassion towards our clients and our passion for what we do.  We understand that many people do not hire in-home personal trainers or group personal trainers just for the convenience and luxury.  Some of our clients just aren’t comfortable to train in a gym environment.  We listen to what you want and you get results.

You Can Still Work Out On Snow Days

Posted on December 18, 2011 by lkraman

As an in-home fitness trainer and nutrition specialist, I get a lot of frustrated clients when appointments are needed to be canceled because of the snow. But, it doesn’t have to be a lose/lose situation for both of us. What I recommend is to:

  • If you know the snow is coming and you will be stuck in the house for a few days, stock up on “clean foods” such as white meat chicken and green, fibrous veggies. Do not buy cookies to make for everyone if you know that cookies are a “trigger” food. It won’t hurt the kids any either if they don’t have that excess sugar. Instead, if you must have a treat, buy yourself (and them) one treat, such as a candy bar. This way you stop at one.
  • You can also get in a couple extra days at the gym ahead of time since you know you won’t be going while snowed in.
  • Don’t let your significant other do all the shoveling. Although I don’t like to shovel, I use it as an opportunity to work out. Just remember to protect your back. As you scoop the snow, squat from the hips and knees. Do not bend over at the waist. Then, using your legs, core, upper back, shoulders, and arms, throw that snow. (hint: it also gives you an excuse to get out of the house if everyone’s driving you nuts!) It’s really a great way to get in your cardio and some strength training. You will feel it the next day.
  • Now for those who are familiar with strength training moves such as lunges and squats, do this for exercise. This is only for those who are already doing some time of exercise regimen. Please use caution. If you feel dizzy, weak, feel like you’re gonna pass out, then stop. As always, you must have permission from your PCP first. If you are able to workout, then do everything in order for 15-20 reps. Rest minimally between sets. Rest 1-2 minutes between circuits. Repeat circuit 2-4 times. Use light dumbbells depending on your fitness level. If unsure of what something is, then just ask.
  1. jumping jacks one minute
  2. walking or alternating lunges
  3. twisting plank
  4. glute bridge with alt leg up
  5. burpees
  6. sumo squat
  7. pushup
  8. bicycles

Sick and Strength Training

Posted on December 14, 2011 by lkraman

New to strength training this winter? Better be careful! It is not uncommon for a newbie to get sick within a couple of weeks of starting a training regime. Why? As you train, your muscles must recover from series of micro-tears. During this time, your body is more susceptible to getting sick due to a weakened immune system. This doesn’t happen to everyone, but it is better to protect yourself just in case. It would be a shame if you had to stop a training program after finally becoming motivated enough to start one.

How to protect yourself? Well, there is some evidence that vitamin C does protect the immune system, but it is still inconclusive. It also wouldn’t hurt to make sure you are consistently taking a good quality multi-vitamin. The supplement, glutamine, is also used to help facilitate the recovery of the muscles after a training session. This could help lessen the soreness of your muscles and speed the recovery. Thus, allowing your immune system to protect against lingering viruses and colds. Lastly, if you do get sick, allow your body to rest before resuming your training.

Preparing for 5k?

Posted on December 9, 2011 by lkraman

Start running! No, really! Aren’t quite there yet? Start walking! Walk quickly. Walk on terrain that has hills even if the 5k will be on flat pavement. Eventually, your body will adapt. It really depends on the consistency, frequency, and intensity. Every week, set a new goal. It should eventually become to add running intervals. You can even start by running 30 seconds and walking 2 minutes. Log your distance and time. Remember, a 5k is 3.2 miles so get your body accustomed to handle that length. And, you do not need to carb up the night before. This is not a marathon, people! In fact, watch your diet. If you’re overweight, it’s much easier to run without carrying excess baggage! Finally, when it comes down to it, try your best. Then, do another 5k and try to beat your 1st time. You’ll have a purpose to keep you active and you’ll be running for many great causes to benefit charities in need of support.
