Personal Training Saves you Thousands Every Year

How much time and money do you want to save? 

People often shy away from hiring a personal trainer because of the expense. This may seem like an outrageous expense to some, but think about all the time you’ve already wasted in the gym working out in all the wrong ways and not getting the results you want. Paying to train with a registered trainer is investing in their knowledge to help you get results faster. You’ll quickly learn how to work out correctly and more efficiently. You’ll avoid overuse injuries that are all too common with people who don’t know what they’re doing and can cost you hundreds of thousands in rehab therapy. Source: BellaOnline.com

Can You Afford To Retire?
No one ever said health-care costs in retirement would be cheap. But such expenses are starting to seem overwhelming, if not impossible to cover. To date: The average 65-year-old couple retiring today needs $225,000 set aside to pay for health-care costs in retirement, according to a report by Fidelity Investments. That's the bad news. The good news is that the one-quarter of a million needed for health-care costs in retirement may -- in some ways -- be more manageable than it seems at first blush. Experts note that Fidelity's estimate is the net present value of health-care expenditures over a 20-year period. In other words, in simple non-inflation-adjusted terms, a 65-year old couple with a 20-year life expectancy would spend on average $11,250 per year on health care. Still the question remains: What can be done to make retiree health-care costs less overwhelming? Fidelity and other experts have some tips including:

“The best way to avoid future health-care costs is to spend one's money and time wisely on health care today, said Cooper. He recommends, for instance, hiring a personal trainer who can help develop an exercise and nutrition program that will improve the odds of spending less on health care later"

"The problem is that most health plans will not support alternative medicine and yet in some cases that might be the better approach for an individual," Haas said.  Source: MarketWatch.com. It is time the government, employers, and Canadians in Northern BC stand with the health and fitness professionals in the region.
