Whether you want to look good for your wedding or a holiday, or simply struggle with the commitment of a long term exercise plan, personal training could be the answer.
Personal training helps by providing structure, results, variety and motivation. You'll start with an initial consultation to assess your current state of health and define your fitness goals - lose weight, improve posture or simply get fitter. This gives you an agreed starting point, and also a benchmark against which to measure your progress.
The programme will be flexible - most sessions will be one-to-one coaching or you may choose to have sessions with partners or friends. Having a regularly scheduled appointment is great for maintaining your motivation. Not only will you have someone else to report back to, you'll also be taking part in a structured and realistic programme designed to deliver maximum results in the minimum of time. The emphasis will be making exercise fun, so that you have the motivation to not only meet, but exceed your goals.
The variety of exercises is endless, and can be conducted at work, at home, or at a gym/studio. A programme will generally combine Aerobic (Cardio), resistance (weights) & flexibility to give you the workout that suits you best. With this much flexibility combined with the benefits of exercise you can't go wrong.
