Keeping fit is good for the body and good for the soul.
Of course we all know that and we see the positive memes etc, but real life is often very different and while many people want to keep their fitness levels high, they need motivation. Motivation is a word that comes up a lot, living in a town like Guildford despite
Daily life gets in the way, kids, work, family all need our time and the oldest excuse in the world is “I don’t have time to keep fit” or “I am too tired”
Wrong!
In this blog I show you the huge benefits of working with a personal trainer and how a personal trainer can really change your life and give you the tools and time management skills to keep fit.
Help is here
The other phrase that rears its head in many conversations is “I’m not seeing any results”
Even If you exercise regularly and have been doing so for a number of weeks it’s possible that you’re not reaching your goals (whether you are seeking to lose weight, improve your performance at a sport, or build strength), as your exercise plan may not be tailored to meet those goals and your bodies strengths or weaknesses.
This where I can help.
By drilling down and evaluating your current exercise regime and goals, a trainer can advise ways to change or tweak your workouts to make them more efficient and effective. As a personal trainer I will always be honest with you about your goals and advise if your goals are realistic or require a reset.
I do this by demonstrating activities that work for your body and fit in with your daily schedule as well as looking at any available equipment. You should never just throw yourself into exercising and I look at how hard you should work during exercise and if you need to regulate your exercise intensity.
A trainer can see your situation more clearly from the outside and offer you a new perspective and experienced advice.
Now a part of that lack of motivation can be that you have become bored with your workouts and are unsure of the changes you should make. Working with a personal trainer can really help as you will be shown how to choose exercises, weights, reps and sets that will be different from the ones you have been over repeating, but still deliver the results needed.
I teach you how to get the most out of your workout, while also making sure you don’t overdo it and keep you motivated with new targets, and exercises that can fit in with your daily routine and help you manage your time for exercise.
Even for those with experience
Working with a personal trainer is not only for those who are starting or restarting but it can be of significant benefit, even If you’re an experienced exerciser.
It can be very easy to fall into that workout rut, where you can find yourself doing the same workouts repeatedly and your results are not as good as they once were.
Even though you are workout savvy, hiring a trainer gives you a completely fresh perspective and sets new challenges to help you toward your goals with an objective eye.
An experienced and professional fitness instructor can identify areas of your program that require adjustment to make your workout more interesting and more challenging in the key areas that are required to meet your exercise goals. And sometimes you can really benefit from just having more fun while you exercise.
Personal trainers are experienced in a wide range of workouts and with working with people at all levels of exercise capability. What works for someone else does not always work for you and an experienced personal trainer will streamline your exercise program so that when you start to see those results, you’re happier and therefore motivated.
Body Care
For many people their need to increase their exercise, fitness and wellbeing levels stems from the fact that they have a specific Illness, Injury, or condition. Your doctor may have encouraged you to exercise for your benefit but if you’re in pain and maybe having to work around an injury, it’s hard to get started and know that your doing the right exercises to be of benefit and no cause further issues
That’s where an experienced personal trainer in Guilford really helps get you on the right path.
As professional trainers we work with all kinds of people and by listening to your story and asking questions about your condition and goals, I carefully create a program that works on the areas you need without risking new or re-injury, as well as dealing with old or chronic injuries. Exercising with a chronic health condition such as arthritis, diabetes, or heart disease is totally feasible as is exercising to help with or overcome neck or back pain.
If you have exercises from your physical therapist (if you have one) that need to be incorporated into your ongoing exercise program I implement that and can get in touch with your physical therapist if required to double check any points.
As an experienced fitness trainer my goal is to make sure you exercise correctly and that your program helps your recovery or aids in you dealing with your condition. You stay fully motivated with a controlled exercise program that you’re comfortable with, and the results quickly come.
The Wrap
If you’re struggling to get the results you desire, lacking drive and motivation, feel you need to mix up your workout routine or someone to help you push your limits, then a personal trainer is just what you need.
Exercising is not always easy, but I make sure it’s targeted and fun and that your routine fits you and your lifestyle.
