Personal Training
"The Secret to Getting
Results"
As we grow older, getting results gets harder. It becomes more and more important to do exercises correctly. Correctly means with correct form, correct weight and in the correct amounts and frequency. A professional, certified, personal trainer can design a workout that is right for you and most importantly, make you stick with it!
Lets face it, for most people, exercising is not fun. The challenge of a good personal trainer is making an exercise program fun for you. When you look forward to your workouts, you keep doing them. Our personal trainers specialize in making your workouts effective, while as enjoyable as possible.
General Benefits of Strength Training:
Strength Training helps your bones. Research has found that weight training can increase spinal bone mineral density by 13 percent in six months. So strength training is a powerful tool against osteoporosis. Your personal training program should always include strength training.
Your metabolism slows
as you get older. This is primarily due to a decrease in muscle
tissue. After the age of 30, your body gradually begins to lose it's
muscle. If your activity level stays the same and the amount of calories
you eat stay the same, you will still gain weight because your metabolism
has slowed down. However, if you exercise with weights and do some type
of aerobic activity on a regular basis, you probably won't notice much of
a change in your metabolism as you age. Your personal trainer will custom
design a personal training program that will help increase your
metabolism.
Strength Training helps increase your metabolism
because muscle uses more calories to maintain itself than fat.
So the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn every day, not
just when you are exercising. The goal of our personal training
program is help you burn calories even after your personal training
session is over.
Strength training prevents muscle loss. Dieting (reducing calories) tends to cause a loss in muscle. You can help avoid this by lifting weights while reducing your calorie intake. Strength training will help you preserve muscle, while also losing fat. Make certain to tell your personal trainer if you are dieting. Dieting must be taken into account when designing a personal training program.
Exercise helps reduce some symptoms of menopause (like hot flashes, irregular sleep and irritability) and it helps lower the long-term risks of cardiovascular disease.
Regular exercise helps improve cholesterol levels. It helps decrease total cholesterol levels and increase "good" cholesterol levels.
Working out can provide cardiopulmonary improvements. It helps decrease blood pressure and lower resting heart rate.
Leaner total body. Physical fitness increases your lean (fat-free) body percentage (and of course decrease your body fat percentage).
Even when we sleep our muscles are responsible for 25% of our calorie burning. So, the more muscles you build from strength training, the more calories you will burn (even at rest). Plus, building muscles will also help keep your metabolic rate constant. Without strength training, typically a person gradually loses about 5% of their metabolic rate every decade.
Reduced Risk Of Injury. All forms of exercise (but especially flexibility training exercises) help reduce the risk of injuries. However, our personal trainers make every effort to assure that you don't get injured to start with!
