PERSONAL TRAINING
Employing the services of a qualified Personal Trainer to help you achieve your goals, is the best way to get results you're after. Even with our best intentions and at our strongest willed, most of us just don't have the dedication to motivate ourselves to go through a gruelling and uncomfortable hour at the gym. We still have to step into the gym and put the effort in, but without the focussed training, we're going nowhere fast and that's why paying for the pro is so worth it.
Hence, I've been having personal training since the beginning of the year with Zac - a super-fit PT who is himself training with Olympic Decathalon Gold Medalist - Daley Thompson. What I've got here, is someone who is dedicated to the pursuit of bettering himself and he's using this knowledge/wisdom to help better me.
What I've learned from doing sports and sports training over the last 20 years, are pretty basic assumptions. Get your heart rate up, sweat loads and if your muscles ache the next day, you're working out enough. Not a very focussed or measured approach. This is obviously not a good way to train and it's no surprise that I've got injuries and poor results.
Getting In The Know
There are various ways to burn calories, keep a general level of joint mobility, improve heart & lung performance and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. If you jog for 30 minutes at an easy level or as I see many people doing, sit reading the paper whilst leisurely pedalling on a gym bike, you'll burn calories eventually but it's a going to be of a waste of gym time if you want killer abs. Understanding anatomy, metabolism, nutrition and the best ways to train are gonna help give you the tools for maximising the gym & training time. So, I've now signed up to be a Personal Trainer and this new found knowledge should help get the results even quicker.
