Now that the weather is changing, you may want to tweak your fitness routine. After all, the temperature may be a little chillier in the mornings while the days are getting shorter. This may mean you will have to change the time you workout or how long you have to fit in. As a personal trainer, I have some great tips for fall fitness that help you make some alterations to your fitness routine that may even help move beyond any plateaus you are experiencing in your results. Make the Most of the Weather This is the time to actually do more exercise outdoors. It's not as hot throughout the Atlanta area, so you can work in some other types of exercise, including cycling, hiking, and walking. There are plenty of trails in and around our area that make this a great time to take your exercise to new places. Even doing yard work to pick up all those leaves can add to your workout. Try Some New Exercises If you have been following a personal training program with us, be prepared to try out some new types of exercise. Each season, we like to change it up and throw [...]

Building Personal Training Programs For Specific Needs

By matthew lein|2017-09-19T13:22:58+00:00September 19th, 2017|Personal Training|Comments Off on Building Personal Training Programs For Specific Needs

Personal training programs should not be a one-size-fits-all approach. That's because everyone has different goals. It's not always about just dropping pounds. Some people want to get stronger while others may be undertaking some rehabilitation work. Then, there are others who are focused on training for a specific sport. Within those various reasons and objectives are also individuals who have different abilities, strengths and weaknesses, and temptations or struggles. All of those factors must also be considered for a personal training program. Generic Programs Designed For Failure Otherwise, if you just offer clients a generic personal training program, you are actually setting them up for failure. That's because much of that program doesn't address their goals and personal abilities. Then, when they don't see any progress, these clients become discouraged. A generic program cannot address the certain skills you need to play a sport like football or baseball. Just running on a treadmill or lifting weights is not going to make you a better athlete. Instead, you need someone to help you run certain drills designed to address the skills you need to excel at a particular sport just like you would do in your practices. Also, it's important to [...]

Why Personal Training is So Important to Your Workout

By matthew lein|2017-09-13T23:32:30+00:00September 13th, 2017|Uncategorized|Comments Off on Why Personal Training is So Important to Your Workout

It's great that you are working out regularly or even that you just signed up at the gym. However, there are many reasons why you should consider having a personal trainer as part of your workout. These are just some of the reasons why you should include personal training in your workout regimen: Personal trainers can educate you based on their own knowledge and experience. That helps you know the most effective exercises for your fitness goals. It also helps you reduce the chances of injury because they have educated you on how to use the equipment in the right way. They show you the correct posture and technique so you also get better results. Often, you cannot see what you are doing so think of them as another pair of eyes. Personal trainers can address your own unique requirements. This includes how to exercise without irritating an old injury or what to do after a surgery. Other unique requirements may be mobility, age, and level of ability. They know what is a realistic goal to set for yourself so that you lose the weight or gain strength in a safe way that will help you maintain those goals over [...]

September is Self-Improvement Month

By matthew lein|2017-09-03T17:27:00+00:00September 3rd, 2017|Fitness|Comments Off on September is Self-Improvement Month

September is National Self-Improvement Month. There's no time like right now to start working on yourself and making an even better version of you. The month has just begun so you can make the most of this national event and think about how the ways you would like to improve yourself. Step 1: Make a List Think about all the things -- physical, emotional, mental, and social -- that you would like to do better at. After all, self-improvement is not just about your weight or activity level. It's everything that makes up you and creates a satisfying life. Maybe self-improvement means learning a new skill or increasing your income. Perhaps it is about doing more for others. Whatever you decide, writing it down will help hold you more accountable to actually achieving those improvements. Step 2: Make the Necessary Appointments Tied to Areas of Improvement Figure out if there is outside professional support that can help guide the strategies you need to implement in order to make the improvements on your list. That may include a physician to assess health and safety, a personal trainer to guide you through the fitness process, and a mentor to help suggest direction [...]
