Choosing a Personal Fitness and Nutrition Trainer

A personal fitness and nutrition trainer can help you enter
a race where there's no engraved cup or money award at the
finish line. Unlike the Thoroughbreds racing at the local
park, you will be running for your very life instead.
Fitness and nutrition are the keys to a quality long life.

Racing for Fitness

Almost 60% of people in the United States are overweight or
obese. The consequences of having too much fat on your body
can be severe. Obesity is a major cause of many serious
illnesses including Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart
disease, high blood pressure and even certain forms of
cancer.

It's hard to maintain a fitness routine on your own. On top
of that you are bombarded with advertisements selling
unhealthy food and gadgets and inventions that actually
result in less physical activity. The perfect examples are
kids playing electronic games for hours instead of baseball
or soccer. There are bigger and better computers and TVs
promoting lifestyles with little exercise time included.

Sedentary lifestyles are not good for the body, and neither
is junk food. But everyone lives extremely busy lives and
fitness and nutrition often take a low priority. A personal
fitness and nutrition trainer can help you rearrange your
priorities so you place your health top of the list.

When you are young, it's easy to believe good health is
forever. But as you age, the truth is slowly revealed.
Metabolisms slow naturally. Fat accumulates after years of
eating meals with little nutritional value.

Free radicals form unimpeded because the diet has
consistently lack antioxidants found in fruits and
vegetables. Other diseases eventually take root. For
example, lack of exercise increases the chances of
developing osteoporosis.

Finding Your Stride

A personal fitness and nutrition trainer can assist you in
a number of ways beginning with an assessment of your
current fitness level. A personal trainer will work with to
establish mutual goals including measures of progress such
as weight loss or inches loss.

Personal fitness and nutrition includes the following:

Evaluating current dietary habits and making necessary
changes

Calculating the body mass index (BMI)

Establishing an exercise routine that fits your lifestyle

Develop a strength training program

Tracking progress and making necessary adjustments as you
progress

Using a personal fitness and nutrition trainer can help you
stay motivated as you begin the race for your life. The
quality of your life in your senior years is directly
related to the level of fitness you maintain in your
younger years. It becomes clearer with each medical study
that problems associated with aging are as much a
consequence of poor nutrition as they are of the aging
process itself.

Utilizing the services of a personal fitness and nutrition
trainer only makes sense if you're ready to get serious
about your health. Racing for the grand prize of good
health means finding your "fitness stride".

You don't have to work out 8 hours a day to stay fit and
healthy. You do have to exercise regularly and watch what
you eat. A personal fitness and nutrition trainer can be
the key to your success.
