The Advantages of a Personal Fitness Trainer

It has been rightly said that a personal fitness trainer dons the roles of an educator, a motivator and a coach, and can help you lead a fit and active life. The fast pace of life nowadays has led to tremendous physical and psychological stress on the human mind and body, while a sedentary work environment with lessened scope of physical activity has resulted in a large section of people being affected by disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. As a result, the demand for trained fitness instructors has increased, with more stress being laid on personal fitness training, and a customized personal fitness plan.

It is important to have a personal fitness trainer in your workout regimen as he or she can help you exercise at your office or home instead of having to run to the gym, by giving you training sessions which are customized according to your body's requirement. A personal fitness trainer will pay close attention to your exercises, workout routine, and diet charts by charting out a personal fitness plan.

A personal fitness plan may be chalked out in consultation with the trainer and may include specific exercises, forms of relaxation such as yoga, meditation, and customized diet plans, all of which are charted out to achieve a target of weight loss or improved mental and physical well-being.

Training with the help of a personal fitness trainer has several advantages. Training sessions taken by a personal fitness trainer enable you to exercise at your own convenience; as such training sessions include a fixed training regimen, which you can easily fit into your schedule, without having to worry about having missed the gym while working late.

Under the guidance of a personal fitness trainer, you can achieve more effective results from your exercises. A personal fitness trainer puts you on a specialized fitness plan, and makes sure that you exercise under his or her special guidance, thereby making you achieve better physical strength, increased body flexibility, and improved body posture. An added advantage is that appointing a personal fitness trainer can also be less costly than a monthly or annual gym membership fee.

However, despite the proliferation of skilled trainers in several places such as hospitals, spas, health clubs, resorts and fitness clinics, finding a personal fitness trainer who is the right fit for you is not an easy task. Since it is always advisable to undergo fitness training under a certified personal fitness trainer, you must ensure that the trainer you have appointed is certified from a reputed training school, and has a sound knowledge of personal health, nutrition, sports and injury prevention. Besides the aforementioned qualities, a personal fitness trainer should also be able to help the clients incorporate beneficial lifestyle changes through a personal fitness plan, motivate them, and also help them manage stress more effectively.

So, all things considered, appointing a personal fitness trainer can make a vast difference to your health and well-being.

The Benefits of Cardio Interval Training

Cardio interval training has taken on a new important role with personal fitness trainers and workouts. Top athletes have realized the benefits of interval training to help with their overall performance, as well as modifying their body’s composition. However, it is not necessary to be a top athlete to benefit from interval training. Interval training can help anyone who is interested in improving their physical well-being and it can also provide you with a revitalized personal fitness plan that also benefits your mind.

Interval training should be integrated with the help of a personal fitness trainer into your personal fitness plan. It should be performed with a series of timed workouts. For example, if you were running on a treadmill, you would need to run for 30 seconds at a speed of 8 mph or higher, and then drop down to a speed of 4 mph at a slow jog for 30 seconds. This pattern should be repeated for approximately 20 minutes. This type of workout can not only be done while running on a treadmill, as it can be repeated on other types of cardio machines such as a recumbent bike or an elliptical machine.

There are several advantages to cardio interval personal fitness training. First, it burns more calories and fat than just a regular run. You will certainly be amazed as to how many calories and how much body fat you will drop by having your personal fitness trainer incorporate interval training into your personal fitness plan.

Another advantage of cardio interval training is that it boosts your overall aerobic fitness. The high intensity intervals will elevate your heart rate up to its maximum heart rate. You can determine what your maximum heart rate should be by a simple formula (220 - Your Age = Maximum Heart Rate). With the lower intensity interval, your heart rate is allowed to lower at a quick rate. The raising and lowering of your heart rate creates a true metabolic workout. When you run at a steady rate your heart rate will not fluctuate enough to provide you with the same results.

In addition, interval personal fitness training also saves you time. A person who desires an intense workout can have one in a period of 20 to 30 minutes. You can have an awesome cardio workout as long as you manage you intervals properly. Trust me when I tell you that it will feel like you ran a marathon once you are done with your interval training. You actually end up saving some additional “wear and tear” on your body as well since9l you do not need to run as long or as far as you normally are do.

Finally, cardio interval training will also provide you with some extra motivation for your workout. Let’s face it; a person can get very bored just running at the same pace for an hour. This type of cardio workout totally motivates your body as well as your mind. It also challenges your body, which, in turn will motivate you to work hard and achieve the goals your personal fitness trainer has set in your personal fitness plan.

Although cardio interval training is not new, many new people who have first hired me as their personal fitness trainer have never heard of it or tried it. Once I have incorporated cardio interval training into their personal fitness plan the results have been amazing from both a physical and mental perspective. Cardio interval training can make a huge difference with your personal fitness training program. Contact a personal fitness trainer to help you develop a comprehensive personal fitness plan. Give it a try; you will love the results you get!

Important Tips for Weight Loss Supplements

My blog title should not be shocking as most of these product claims always seem too good to be true. I found an interesting article on these weight loss supplements written by Melinda Manore who is an Oregon State University researcher. The full study can be found online in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism if you are so inclined to read it. Unfortunately there are no short cuts or in this case “magic pills” to lose weight. Manore had some excellent general guidelines for a healthy lifestyle. These are some great nutritional tips!

• Do not leave the house in the morning without having a plan for dinner. Spontaneous eating often results in poorer food choices.
  
  
• If you do eat out, start your meal with a large salad with low-calorie dressing or a broth-based soup. You will feel much fuller and are less likely to eat your entire entrée. Better yet: split your entrée with a dining companion or just order an appetizer in addition to your soup or salad.
  
  
• Find ways to keep moving, especially if you have a sedentary job. Manore said she tries to put calls on speaker phone so she can walk around while talking. During long meetings, ask if you can stand or pace for periods so you don’t remain seated the entire time
  
  
• Put vegetables into every meal possible. Shred vegetables into your pasta sauce, add them into meat or just buy lots of bags of fruits/vegetables for on-the-go eating.
  
  
• Increase your fiber. Most Americans don’t get nearly enough fiber. When possible, eat “wet” sources of fiber rather than dry — cooked oatmeal makes you feel fuller than a fiber cracker.
  
  
• Make sure to eat whole fruits and vegetables instead of drinking your calories. Eat an apple rather than drink apple juice. Look at items that seem similar and eat the one that physically takes up more space. For example, eating 100 calories of grapes rather than 100 calories of raisins will make you feel fuller.
  
  
• Eliminate processed foods. Manore said research increasingly shows that foods that are harder to digest (such as high fiber foods) have a greater “thermic effect” — or the way to boost your metabolism.

1. I feel like it is too cold in the winter. Going for a walk at 10 below zero could possibly damage my lungs
   
   
2. Summertime is too hot! Going for a walk in such high temperatures and humidity could cause me to have a heart attack.
   
   
3. In extreme conditions I would go to the gym, except there is no gym located nearby. I want to go GREEN and conserve gas so I can help protect the planet.
   
   
4. I want to form an Ice Hockey team with my friends from the senior center. However, it is becoming impossible because I can't get my friends to show any enthusiasm.
   
   
5. I had exercise equipment that I would use, but I thought that donating my equipment to those in need was more important. No sacrifice is to great.
   
   
6. I would go for bike rides but the tires on my bike are flat.
   
   
7. I would play tennis except my tennis racquet is out dated and I don't have a tennis-court.
   
   
8. Gardening would be a great way to exercise the only problem is the Black Flies take hunks out of my skin that could become infected and never heal, mosquitoes carry encephalitis and West Nile Fever, and ticks carry Lyme disease
   
   
9. I would go swimming but I feel it would be a form of cruel and unusual punishment to expose the public to my unclothed body.
   
   
10. I would consider using the stair-stepper that used to be on my front porch, but I figured lifting it into my pick-up, getting it back out again, and lugging it onto the porch was enough exercise for one year.
    
    
11. I would gladly sacrifice happy hour to lift weights, but I am pretty sure the dog ate the instruction manual or I am sure he would have if I owned a dog
    
    
12. I wanted to exercise earlier, but I took a bath and put clean clothes on, I would hate to get them sweaty and dirty from working out.
    
    
13. I was thinking about going for a long, slow walk, which wouldn't cause me to sweat, but I read an article saying it essential for your health to get sufficient sleep, so I will probably take a nap instead.

All these excuses are pretty lame, some are worse than others. If you want to achieve your personal fitness goals you need to stop making excuses! For many, hiring a personal fitness trainer to help them develop a comprehensive personal fitness plan and stick to it is a vital part of achieving the healthy lifestyle everyone deserves.
