Let’s accept it, not everyone would opt for a personal trainer particularly citing the affordability reason. But the truth is exactly the opposite as is evident from the medium to long term benefit of it. Let’s not forget that a personal trainer is more than an instructor and hiring one means committing time and finance.
Assessing your present routine and fitness levels
A trainer adds an expert angle to your workout routine and is equipped to analyze it thoroughly with you in focus which in the aftermath can effect a dramatic change to your workouts and consequently to your well being. A personal trainer will
• assess your present fitness level
• reflect on your goals
• devise a custom regime that helps the individual in you to achieve those goals fast and safe
Improving the efficiency of workouts
The tailor made programs not just have expertise built into them but also commitment and time-bound result specificity. With the knowledge of your current fitness level and desired goals enables the personal trainer to eliminate unproductive workout subroutines. For example, if you are into a particular sport, your most desirable result also includes agility in addition to strength and endurance which a sport-specific tailor-made training technique can give you.
Loss of motivation and progress plateaus
Losing motivation midway is a big challenge and it is not just a problem limited to beginners. The monotony and the lost motivation breaks the continuity which if extends unreasonably, might put you back to square one. In addition, there are progress plateaus which inexplicably tend to produce no results for long spells of time despite your best efforts, meaning that the very exercises that gave you good fitness and shape become no longer effective. If you want to break out of this rut, a tailor-made program or a personal trainer is what you must turn to. Only a trainer can kick start, not only the motivation, but the routine as well.
Since a personal trainer has an external point of view, a track record for incorporating safety aspects, choice of equipments and exercise routines, you will see he/she and his or her work proving extremely beneficial.
