was most important in a
successful exercise or
weight loss program, it
would be to exercise
first thing in the
morning... every
morning!

Exercise Melts Body
Fat
If you want to reduce
your body fat, focus on
increasing the amount
of exercise you get
rather than decreasing
your food intake. A
recent national study
was done using two
groups of sedentary
men, one group in their
20's and the other over
age 65.

Why You Should Hire A Personal Trainer To Help You Achieve
Your Fitness Goals
If you have made the decision to get back into shape after a long layoff you need to decide if your
going to go it alone, or hire a professional personal trainer. A personal trainer is one who educates
people about physical fitness, and if qualified may offer nutrition guidance. Personal trainers design
functional training programs to help their clients in daily activites, hobbies or to help correct postural
imbalances.
Personal trainers will help individuals alter their body mass (fat loss) educate their clients on proper
form, offer motivation and constructive criticism at times. Trainers can help individuals in areas such
as: athletic performance, speed, agility and quickness, increase in muscular strength and endurance
training. If qualified, individuals leaving physical therapy can continue that therapy with a competent,
trained and experienced trainer.
Some other benefits of a personal trainer are the accountability factor. Knowing that you have paid
good money to a trainer is great motivation to most to show up and work out. Having a trainer also
helps to take away the boredom of training alone. You will also increase your knowledge of physical
fitness and be able to maintain your healthy lifestyle once finished with your trainer.
Personal trainers have different ways of motivating their clients. Some are the “drill sergeant” others
are more mellow and laid back. It is important to get with a qualified trainer that best matches your
personality and needs. The time you spend with a trainer will depend on your goals and budget. If
you have a substantial amount of weight to lose you may want to spend 90 days to develop the habits
necessary to be successful long term. Others may meet for one session to have a program
designed and have questions answered.
It is important the the individual you choose is certified with a reputable agency, school, etc. They
should have insurance, a valid CPR card and a certification from an agency that has their tests
proctored. In the USA certain personal trainer certifications are accredited by the NCAA, The Council
for Higher Education Accreditation, and the US Department of Education.
A qualified trainer will run you through a health screen to ensure that your ready for any type of
exercise. At this point if it is determined that you are ready to train, typically body measurements will
be taken, or callipers will be used. Strength and flexibility tests will be administered as well as
identifying any postural dysfunction, or muscle imbalances. After all this has taken place the trainer
now has enough information to prepare a proper training program.
The bottom line is if you want to increase your chances of achieving your health and fitness goals,
hiring a personal trainer is the best thing you can do. It will save you money in the long run and help
to improve the quality of your life.
