A Personal Trainer Can Make All the Difference
We all have a lot of options these days when it comes to health and fitness advice. We have apps, YouTube, podcasts and blogs, all helping us find our path to greater health. But it can also be hard to sift through the varying levels of advice and expertise to discover what actually works for you.
Hiring a personal trainer can be an excellent option if you’re feeling a little lost or wanting to maximize your results. Here are a few reasons you may want to take the plunge and get some personalized help:
Personalized Attention
When you work with a personal trainer, he or she creates a plan with you in mind. It’s no longer generic health advice, but instead the trainer can take your likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses and create a plan that you will actually enjoy.
Expert Guidance
When you work with a personal trainer you are essentially gaining access to their expertise which allows you to streamline your efforts and achieve success more quickly. They can also help you avoid common mistakes, recognize and avoid patterns of sabotage as well as help you avoid injury or over-training.
Accountability and Motivation
Perhaps the most obvious benefit to having a trainer is the accountability factor. It can be difficult to stay motivated when you are working out on your own, not to mention it’s easy to cancel on yourself. When you are financially and relationally invested you are more likely to show up. Trainers can also provide the voice of encouragement and perspective you need when things are difficult. We are often our own worst critic. Having someone else cheer you on and believe in your ability can go a very long way.
Variety
When you workout on your own it’s easy to fall into a routine and find yourself bored with it, not to mention you may see a lack of results. A personal trainer can help mix things up, focus on “muscle confusion” and make sure you are getting the most out of every workout. You also have the benefit of their knowledge when it comes to the “why” of certain exercises.
As we move quickly toward the holiday season, Fall is a perfect time to refocus on your health goals. Maybe a personal trainer is just what you need to reach your 2023 goals before it’s over!
