Good Health is a blessing! Maintaining good health is our prerogative. The first step to good health is an effective exercise routine and balanced diet. Joining the local gym is a good way to begin the exercise routine. But what if an expert could study, analyze, design an exercise schedule, hold you accountable to your workout regime and also draw-up a food schedule to complement it? Could this not optimize a workout? Does it sound too good to be true? Yes, this is what a professional personal trainer does!
Trainers can be found easily at the local gym, sports hostel or in your peer group. There are several kinds of trainers and one can choose the type of trainer according to one’s requirements. One option is that of an online trainer. But the online trainer has a major disadvantage. The online trainer is not able to see what you are doing and is able to answer only doubts that you ask. Though the online trainer’s services are available at one-fourth the price of a personal trainer, it leaves a lot to be desired. With online training wrong techniques could be performed, faulty or partial information could be transmit and wrong interpretation of instructions leads to unforeseen long term damage to the body.
A certified trainer, when appointed, first gathers information from you. Your personal eating habits, your lifestyle, the nature of work you do and the time that can be dedicated for exercising. If you have consulted a doctor before do update the trainer if there are exercises or motions that you should not do. The trainer would then design exercise routines customizing it for you. Based on your gender, age, height, weight and general mobility he would prescribe exercises of different levels of difficulty.
A general exercise routine of about an hour would be designed in the following stages. First, a general work-out that would focus on warming-up and loosening the body muscles that would be done for about 10 minutes. Next, techniques that would focus on any particular part of the body that needs to be shaped. He could adopt different forms of training like aerobics, gym equipment or calisthenics or improvised forms of yoga depending on your flexibility, to achieve maximum burning of calories and toning of muscles. Third, he would conduct a 10-15 minute cool-off exercise routine to bring the adrenaline charged body to room temperature.
The insight with which the certified personal trainer is able to design a routine and then motivate you to execute it is something that is intrinsic to human nature and the missing factor in an online trainer routine. The unique bond that develops between the two is something akin to a mentor and his prodigy. Here the trainer always focuses on the wholesome development of you. He recognizes the physical limitations of your body but at the same time does not allow you to submit to it. He goads you, inspires you and encourages you to do that one more push-up for one last time to achieve the number of push-ups he has calculated for you to do.
The trainer adds that new dimension to your personality. He motivates you when you have given up. He celebrates with you when you achieve the set target of exercises. Makes you work-out physically to drive those moments of self-doubt, anxiety, stress or sadness that pass over you. He leads you through a metamorphosis that not only changes your body but the soul too! You become a changed personality thanks to the dedication of a personal trainer!
