A personal trainer will begin by getting a better idea of your current health and lifestyle. They will analyze your current dietary standards, your level of activity and ask other things such as whether you smoke, drink, and how many hours you average a night of sleep. After this they will have a good idea to create a plan that will not only produce results, but that will also be attainable and not be discouraging so that you don’t give up.
Secondly, a personal training regiment will provide you with a nutritional plan that is specific to you and your needs. Doing exercise without the right fuel and vitamins will just prolong the process of seeing results. Thing of it like a jet. It needs jet fuel and not some gunky unleaded gasoline in order to perform.
A trainer will also ensure that your fitness plan is safe. Why safe you might ask. Depending on each person, pre existing conditions such as knee surgery or a heart condition can limit the range of exercises that can be done. However, this does not mean that a fitness plan can not be devised. Different exercises will be provided to different people in order to make it a safe fitness plan for each client.
A trainer will also focus on motivating the client. Usually during the first couple of sessions or weeks, a client is able to stick to the nutrition plan and is generally excited to workout. However, after a couple of weeks, most people starting out on a fitness plan for the first time will slowly become discouraged or lose their level of excitement. A trainer will monitor their progress in terms of performance (how much faster they can run, how much more they can last, and how much body fat they have lost) in order to rebuild the excitement and keep the client motivated to continue with the plan.
