Is Personal Training for You

The biggest problem with people today is the lack of self-motivation to go to the gym. For some reason, out growing your blue jeans is not enough of a “butt buster” to get up off your couch and workout. Unfortunately, many people are forced to get into an exercise routine because the doctor just hit them with your over 35, over weight, and have high cholesterol- the three primary risk factors for heart disease. All of the sudden, they are beating down the door of a personal trainer screaming, “Help!”

Personal training has become very popular over the last 5-7 years. It seems to be the “90’s” way to workout! Many people used to think it was only for the rich and famous – not anymore. Of course, Demi Moore’s trainer grossed over $200,000.00 in one year preparing her for the movie “Strip Tease.” Not too bad if you are looking for a fun way of living. Of course, for those of you who have chosen another career, one that is not allowing you enough time to get your workouts in, mainly due to poor time management, but that is beside the point. A personal trainer is the best chance.

Today personal training is much more affordable for the average person with an income of $25,000- 45,000 a year. However, it is still not cheap! Any thing to get you moving into a healthier lifestyle is worth the money!! What better investment to make than one in your health.

The first question you might ask yourself is- “What exactly is a personal trainer and how do I know they are qualified?” Usually a personal trainer you would want to hire is a degreed or certified individual who has sufficient knowledge of the human body, how it works, nutritional information or background and of course, exercises themselves. You want to make sure the trainer has the ability to meet your needs- whatever they might be. Never hesitate to emphasize an old injury, diseases such as diabetes or asthma, or hereditary factors that could hinder your workout. Once the trainer has met this criteria, then he or she can prepare a workout specifically to help you reach your health and fitness goals.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A PERSONAL TRAINER?

1. Motivation- Consistency is the name of the game. To keep you consistent and give you the incentives to keep you going and dedicated to your fitness plan.
