BENEFITS
of personal training

Safety- Safety is the number one reason personal training is so
important. Correct form, breathing, core and muscle activation are just
some of the factors you should be aware of when you are working out.
Without these simple steps it places you at a higher risk of injuring a muscle,
ligament, tendon, or even the joint itself.

Proper form and spinal or joint stability should be the most important aspect
of your training program. Especially in the start or new training regime or
the advance into a more difficult lift.

Too often I see many people using the wrong form ( squats, bench, rowing,
etc..) or way to much weight and ultimately putting unneeded stress on their
back, shoulder, knees, etc. Safety will keep you healthy and able to
continue on the fast path towards your goals.
Should you do squats, bench, shoulder press, or calf raises? Some exercises
may not be the best for you and in some cases cause you more pain and put
you in an increased risk for injury. So be careful not to do an exercise
because it looked good in a magazine or on TV. Exercise programs should
be designed specifically with your individual safety and goal in mind.

Education- Knowing what specific exercise and order, sets, reps,
tempo, time under tension, rest period, frequency, and duration is vital
when efficient results is demanded. Each element will get you a quicker
route to your goal of speed, strength, weight loss, etc, but the key is to have
each individual aspect directed to the results you want and working
together efficiently (so your not training like a body builder when you're
trying to loose those lbs). Some exercises such as squats, deadlifts,
pushpress, ect, will help strengthen the entire body as well as demand the
body to use the most amount of muscle. You will in time turn your body
into a fat burning machine. Form is important in all lifts to ensure that you
are working the muscles correctly but it is for your own safety that correct
form must be followed when performing any full body lift.

Nutrition- First I would like to start with the very basics and establish
that everyone's nutrition needs are so individual. By setting yourself up on
a mass diet or trend you are setting yourself up for a very difficult goal.
Harsh, but true.

Your nutritional needs should come from your own LBW (lean body
weight) and your specific metabolic type. Your LBW is calculated by
measuring you body fat percentage using a valid method. Most methods

like the BMI or impedance (used by grasping or standing upon) are quite
inaccurate for most individuals. A persons metabolic type, meaning the
different percentages of macro-nutrients consumed in a day, will vary from
person to person. There are suggested standards you can start from but
varying far from this or ignoring it totally will only make your goals of
fitness or safe weight loss impossible.

Now calculating your DCN ( daily caloric needs) is not the easiest thing in
the world to do but it is necessary for fast efficient results. A good example
is if you are not getting the minimum nutrients required for your LBW then
essentially your going to slow you're metabolism down. This is not good in
any circumstance.

Basically, it takes a little work and at the beginning but once you're aware
of what a small change(back to the basics) and a little smarter eating can
accomplish then your results will motivate you.

Results- With every factor working together along with the support of
a qualified personal trainer to guide you your results come fast and safe.
