Swimsuit Season is Approaching

Having trouble getting in shape? Do you want to loose fat and gain lean muscle so you feel great, but your in pain due to old injuries that make it difficult for you? A personal trainer can provide creative, effective workouts because they are custom tailored to you,  as well as prevent injuries, ensure you hit your goals, and provide consistent, non-judgmental support and health education in the particular areas that are currently not working for you thus adequately facilitate you so that you can reach your goals and desires for success. 

Working out with a personal trainer increases your fitness-goal success rate by over 30 percent, according to a study published in the Journal of Sports Science & Medicine. The study found that the influence of direct supervision during workouts had a huge effect on the outcome of training. The university medical research study results suggest that one-on-one personal training is an effective method for changing attitudes and thereby increasing the amount of physical activity. Secondly, it seems that using problem-solving techniques is of value for successful behavior change and attaining successful outcomes. Remember that in the beginning getting used to working out regularly and performing well is much less intimidating when you have a personal trainer showing how to workout properly and look good doing it. More importantly it will make that process much safer as it will not only help get rid of joint pain in the long run, it will also help prevent injuries and lessen the chance of failure to get the body you want if you fully commit to the necessary changes in and out of the gym, eg. 7-8 hours sleep nightly, and holistic clean and balanced macro-nutrient eating what is recommended for you while taking into consideration any medical contraindications and allergies. To be truly successful at anything one needs a positive or at the least neutral attitude to learn or re-learn functional methods, get proper technique training from a professional personal trainer, determination to not give up when parts/segments of training seem challenging, and be prepared to make changes at home not just at the gym to achieve optimal results in various factors, including not only looking healthier- but feeling great, and fully enjoy the maximized benefits of better health and disease prevention and premature aging. Workouts don’t have to be incredibly intense, a trainer doesn’t have to be scary or intimidating. You may be surprised to find out working out can be fun. Sure, I’m serious when it comes to training because I want to help you get the results you’re looking for. But I’m also light hearted, laugh quite a bit and enjoy having a good time no matter what I’m doing.

On a Budget? Try a different approach to personal training
If your lifestyle, or your wallet, can't accommodate regular in-person sessions with a trainer, that's okay. Meeting with a trainer a handful times can help you dial in things like form and proper programming, and give you fresh ideas for workouts. You can also get personal attention via the web. Countless services and trainers now allow you to hire a personal trainer and workout via web cam, which is great if you spend a lot of time traveling.

A more affordable alternative, small group training, offers many of the benefits of a personal trainer and typically cost $20–$40 each per session depending on how many people are in your group up to 8 people. So you can share cost with family or friends and train together, which can also make it fun and helps the time in session seem to go by faster. It's best for those who needs a little extra competition and camaraderie built into a workout and for those that want invest in the benefits of taking good care of one's health but is also on a stricter budget.
