12/17/12

12/17/12

2:40-3:00 Warm-up and Concone
Just working on vibrato and soft attacks. Getting better.

Bad news from a dental point of view. I got my estimate for my substantial dental work needed and it's huge. I quite simply can't pay it, so I guess I'll let my teeth go and continue to hope they get better.

3:20-4:00 Ear Training
Spent some time just playing tunes by ear, trying not to think about what key, just letting my ear guide me.

4:00-4:30 WORKOUT
I nailed 4 sets of Barbell Complex A with about 2 minutes rest between. 65lbs sets of 5.

Row
Clean
Front Squat
Press
Back Squat
Good Morning

Steve McKnight

Living a double life as both a musician and a personal trainer is a dream. For years, I pursued playing music with all my passion, but after a lifetime of being overweight and dealing with back aches and joint pain, enough was enough.

I attended Slippery Rock University for my double degree in Music Performance and Music Education, then moved to Quebec and received my Masters in Jazz Performance from McGill University in Montreal.

Studying trumpet from John Gillespie, Dr. Stephen Hawk, Jack Schantz, Kevin Dean, Joe Sullivan - I've come to love classical and jazz with equal passion. Later in life, playing with bands like the Balcony Big Band, No Bad JuJu, Orchesta Tropical, Azucar and greats like Bernadette Peters, The Temptations, The O.J.'s, Phil Woods, Sean Jones and many more has opened me to the love of even more great music.

As a trainer, I am certified through N.E.T.A. and work at various gyms teaching my own creation BodyBlitz, which is based on the Primal/Paleo bodyweight fitness that I've come to understand is vital to our healthy and quality of life. I coach people across the country on fitness and nutrition for Beachbody, and do in-home personal training with my own company KnightFit.
