Burn Trainer / Athlete Name

Ryne Robinson

Location

Fort Mill

What is your position with Burn?

Trainer

How did you find out about Burn?

 A mutual friend introduced me to Devan Kline

Go-to workout routine?

Mainly something sports related with a task and a goal at hand. I love basketball or baseball…. with some heavy lifting late in the week to burn calories over the weekend on my reset day!

Favorite burst training workout?

 My favorite burst training killer is a weighted press jacks with a bent over row superset

Favorite strength training workout?

 I love upper body day. I’m definitely a “beach muscles” type of guy. Magically, my chest never grows though. I like to mash all of my upper body exercises together. For instance, chest press with rows, pull ups with push ups and overhead tricep extensions and then finish each round with some abs and back flies.

Favorite cardio workout?

 I use basketball and running and hitting golfballs as cardio, if that last one even counts. Jump rope is another favorite of mine.

Go-to pre workout snack?

 Protein energy bites are my go to snack most of the time for almost everything, but especially before a workout, because they are easy to keep down.

Go-to post workout snack?

Afterburn shake and some apple slices are my favorite post

Favorite healthy meal?

Chicken, broccoli and sweet potatoes is my favorite go to healthy meal.

Favorite healthy restaurant in your area?

“Be Good” is a great restaurant in the Fort Mill area as well as Get Fit Food.

Workout equipment you couldn’t live without?

I hold my jump rope and ab wheel dear to my heart. They are multifaceted and travel well!

Favorite athletic apparel?

My compression tights are my life, along with my shoes.

Favorite workout song?

This changes on a daily basis because I’m really into my music, but RickRoss ‘Purple Lamborghini’ gets me a tad fired up!

Favorite inspirational quote?

“Have a plan, work the plan, and plan for the unexpected” – This is mostly my favorite because it applies to everything in life! My college football coach, the late Terry Hoeppner used to say that to me. It has been a useful reminder when things get tough or confusing.

Lindsay Willis https://burnbootcamp.com/whats-in-your-gym-bag/ Fri, 17 Feb 2017 15:06:53 +0000 https://burnbootcamp.com/?p=15606 Becoming a Burn Athlete doesn’t come easy. You have to set your sights high to earn a title like this! The men and women that become Burn Boot Camp Athletes sweat and sacrifice to earn the opportunity to join such an elite group. They work hard to get shredded in the gym, cut back in the kitchen, and model the utmost health and nutrition as a representative of Burn Nation.

Through each “What’s In Your Gym Bag’ monthly feature, we will get an inside look at what makes our Burn Athletes blaze bright against all other fitness communities. A couple weeks ago we sent our Burn Athlete of the Month, Lindsay Willis, a few questions to get to know what makes her the epic trainer that she is. Let’s see what’s in Lindsay’s gym bag…

 

Burn Athlete Name

Lindsay Willis

 

Location

Cary

 

What is your position with Burn?

Trainer

 

How did you find out about Burn?

I was a student at ECU working on my Health Fitness Specialist Degree. One of my classmates was a guy named Daniel Ballard, him and I took my very first Group Fitness Instruction class. When Burn Boot Camp, Cary, was coming to town I was contacted by Daniel who had so graciously recommended me for the job. I don’t think he realized it at the time, but he introduced me to my life’s passion and a group of ladies that I consider family now.

 

Go-to workout routine?

My workouts change all of the time! Being a former athlete definitely draws me to high intensity workouts involving jumping, sprinting and competing!

 

Favorite burst training workout?

I LOVE plyometric burst training workouts. I love to jump (probably because of my basketball background) so I am in LOVE with plyometrics, just ask my clients!

 

Favorite strength training workout?

I think it would have to be a tie between back and legs. I have always loved lifting heavy and moving big weight so these two muscle groups allow me to do just that.

 

Favorite cardio workout?

By my own admission, cardio is definitely not my favorite, HOWEVER majority of my cardio workouts include bursts of high intensity movements. I think my favorite cardio workouts would include hill sprints and sled pushes!

 

Go-to pre workout snack?

My go-to snacks are usually a rice cake with almond butter and sliced banana with my Ignite OR 2 Afterburn Almond Joy protein balls.. yum!

 

Go-to post workout snack?

I always have my Afterburn shake with unsweetened vanilla almond milk and cinnamon raisin ezekiel bread with almond butter.

 

Favorite healthy meal?

I have a true obsession with zoodles and spaghetti squash so I would have to say anything involving these two! One of my recent favorites was simple but delicious- zoodles with grilled chicken tenders and tomato-basil feta cheese!

 

Favorite healthy restaurant in your area?

We love B-Good. We had one close to us when we lived in Raleigh and they JUST opened one 5 minutes from our house. I go there at least once a week!

 

Workout equipment you couldn’t live without?

There is no way I could live without a squat rack. I love to lift heavy and legs are my favorite to train!

 

Favorite athletic apparel?

Nike has always been a favorite of mine but Lululemon is recently becoming a very close second!

 

Favorite workout song?

Louder by Yelawolf. My music taste is extremely eclectic but rap is my go-to when working out.

 

Favorite inspirational quote?

“Do not burn to burn out. Burn for what ignites worlds within you. Burn for love, and your truth, and for that earth shaking yes feeling. You are made of stars, and fiery passion. You are too alive to ever let yourself fade away.” – Sheena Jayne Martin
