At the end of the session, I am drenched with sweat and breathing hard
There are different schools of thought about working out. Some people have a Do It Yourself approach to their fitness routine. They workout at home, go for runs or walks and make an effort to eat right. It involves handling everything on their own. The other approach is to enlist the assistance of professionals. That is what I’m hoping will help me get in better shape. I was always a DIY kind of guy. However, as I’ve gotten older, I have struggled to maintain my ideal weight, strength, flexibility and stamina. I decided that I need a professional’s advice and assistance. I signed up with a personal trainer. For years, I felt that hiring a personal trainer was a waste of money. I didn’t think a trainer could provide anything that I can’t manage on my own. I have learned that most personal trainers are certified, highly trained and know a great deal about how to optimize the performance of the human body. A skilled personal trainer customizes strategies to suit the specific person. They evaluate your overall health and design an exercise and nutrition program to achieve your personal goals. I was convinced that my exercise strategies were beneficial. Working with a personal trainer has shown me that I was falling short. The demands and structure of his workouts have a much bigger impact in a shorter amount of time. The sessions combine a variety of strength training exercises with high intensity cardio. I go through a series of stretches, balance exercises and static holds for core strength. At the end of the session, I am drenched with sweat and breathing hard. I’m totally exhausted and sore yet I feel fantastic. I’ve only just gotten started working with the personal trainer but already see a difference.
