Introduction to Personal Training …for the new perspective client By: Dani Smith
What is Personal Training? • Personal Training is designed to help you reach your own personal goals with health and overall wellness.
Why do I need a Personal Trainer? There are 9 reasons why you may be interested in seeking a personal trainer.Lets go through them…
Motivation One of the main reasons people benefit from a personal trainer is that they need that extra push to get moving!
Individualizedprogram If you have any chronic health conditions, injuries, or training goals (running a marathon, for example) a trainer will work with you and your health care provider to plan a safe, efficient program that considers these needs and enable you to reach your health goals.
Efficiency Personal Trainers help you focus on results. A personal trainer has a plan and will help you get maximum results in minimum time.
Improve technical skills If you play a particular sport, the right personal trainer will help you improve your skill by showing you new training techniques specific to your sport. The Trainer will incorporate skills training into your program so you improve not only your strength and endurance, but your agility and mental focus as well.
You are new to exercise If you are an absolute beginner, a personal trainer is the ultimate fitness coach. You will be introduced to a very simple, effective routine. Before you know it, you have theconfidenceand knowledge to decide what is right for you.
Break through plateaus Ok, you are already in pretty decent shape, but you've been there for years. If you are stuck in the same routine and want to break out of a rut, a personal trainer is the perfect solution! A trainer will jump start, not only your motivation, but your routine as well.
Learn how to do it alone If you ultimately want to learn to design your own routines, going for a few months may be all you need. A personal trainer will teach you the basics of building and modifying a fitness program to achieve maximum results.
Workout Safely Most of us tend to ignore some of the subtle signals our body provides. We either push through pain or give up too soon. Because a personal trainer can watch what you are doing while you are doing it, they can help push you or slow you down as necessary. • A personal trainer watches:-your form-monitors your vitals-provides objective feedback about your limits and strengths.
Lose Weight -The number one reason people hire personal trainers is to lose weight and get into shape. -If you made a resolution to lose the fat and build the muscle, a trainer can keep you on track and help you reach your goal!
