Selecting a Personal Trainer

A personal trainer can help you lose weight the right way.
Despite efforts by doctors to teach people how to properly
lose weight and keep it off, fad diets are just as popular
as ever. The companies have gotten sneakier though by
touting their products as nutritionally sound.

Right From Wrong!

Good nutrition means eating those foods that provide
essential nutrients for life. Skipping meals or
substituting vitamin and mineral pills is not good
nutrition. Consistently eating the wrong foods is just as
unhealthy.

A personal trainer can help you start and maintain a weight
loss program through exercise and nutrition and not by
excessive food deprivation. The truth is the body needs a
balance of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and essential
vitamins and minerals to operate efficiently.

The body also needs regular exercise. Losing weight means
losing fat and there's no more effective way to do so than
through a targeted exercise program and careful meal
planning. A personal trainer will work with you to design a
fitness program that helps you lose weight while providing
other important health benefits.

A fitness trainer understands that different people have
different fitness goals and can customize a program to
achieve results no matter the circumstances. Some people
want intensive exercise programs, while others are
interested in exercises that can be done at home as well as
the gym.

Getting Down to Business

The best way to lose weight is to do fat burning exercises
coupled with reduced calorie intake. A personal trainer can
assist you with both. Reducing calories doesn't mean
starving yourself. In fact, the goal is to prevent
starvation!

A weight loss program includes several components.

Balanced nutritional plan

Fat burning cardio exercises

Strength training exercises

A personal trainer is expert at creating a program that
attacks excessive weight through a carefully designed
calorie-burning program. There's really only one way to
lose weight. You have to use more calories than you eat.

The best way to burn calories is through exercise.
Aerobics, or cardio exercises, raise the heart rate to
somewhere between 60% and 70% of the maximum rate for at
least 30 minutes. Aerobic exercise forces the body to burn
fat instead of muscle glucose for energy.

Trying to lose weight by depriving the body of a whole food
group such as carbohydrates is unhealthy and seldom
successful for the long haul. A personal trainer can help
you adhere to a fitness program so you can lose weight in a
way that can be maintained over your lifetime.

In other words, a personal trainer can help you develop a
whole new fitness lifestyle. By getting regular exercise,
you strengthen your heart, tone your muscles and reduce
your chances of developing weight related diseases. All
ages can benefit from the services of a fitness
professional.

If you're tired of trying to lose weight using
quick-weight-loss plans that don't work, the next step is
to hire a personal trainer. A personal trainer will show
you how to finally get down to business – the business of
losing weight.
