Personal Trainers Are For Everyone
Obesity has been declared a national epidemic and cardiovascular disease is maintaining its spot as America’s number one killer, so the case for living a healthy lifestyle has already been built. Why then do so many of us shy away from turning to a professional for help with our workout regime? In many cases, the answer is quite simple. We assume that personalized fitness programs are an expensive treat reserved only for the rich and svelte Hollywood crew. And while this may have been true in the past, personal trainers are now helping ordinary women make celebrity-sized life changes.
Certified Personal Trainers (CPTs) are an affordable option for those without the benefit of an expensive entourage of top-notch health gurus, personal chefs, and daring designers. Convinced that the secrets to becoming a “red-carpet diva” should be available to the masses even when dirty laundry, crying babies, and tight budgets run rampant, many of today’s hottest CPTs can help you reach your fitness goals by developing and implementing realistic and actionable fitness plans.
What Is Personal Training?
You’ve all heard of CPTs, but do you really know exactly what they do? While styles and programs vary widely, you can typically expect the following:
1. Fitness assessment
Comprised of various tests designed to assess cardiovascular fitness, body-fat percentage, flexibility and muscular strength and endurance.
2. Individualized fitness program
A personalized exercise program based on your individual assessment results and personal fitness and health goals.
3. Supervised workouts
Personal attention during exercise is the primary function of personal trainers. During these workouts, you will be educated about the fundamentals of strength and aerobic training, as well as the proper and safe use of various types of equipment.
Finding a Certified Personal Trainer
You’ve made the decision to hire a personal trainer, but now what? Working with a trainer is a very personal experience, and much like a hair stylist or gynecologist, what works for your friend or co-worker might not work for you. Your CPT is charged with motivating you to reach new heights and will often see you during your most vulnerable times – grunting, sweating and possibly looking a “hot mess.” Given this, make sure your trainer is someone that you respect, trust and feel that you can get along well with.
