5 Common Fitness Myths

27 07 2007

About.com has a great article where they cover 5 of the top fitness myths.

I need exercises to work my ‘lower abs’ and reduce my pot belly.

If I’m not sore the next day, I didn’t workout hard enough.

If I can’t workout often enough and hard enough, I might as well not even do it.

Strength training will make me “bulk up”

If I eat more protein, I can build big muscles.

If you are unsure why any of these are myths, you should definitely check out this article.

Personal Trainers

25 07 2007

When deciding whether or not to hire a personal trainer there are many things to consider.

Price - Do they charge hourly? Per session? Can you get discounts for purchasing multiple sessions? Can you get a partial refund if you decide not to use all of your sessions?

Scheduling - Are they available when you want to workout?

Certifications - Are they nationally certified? Only certified through their gym?

Experience - How long have they been doing this? Can they tell you about any of their past clients’ experiences?

Knowledge base - What do they do to stay current? What classes/research/experiences do they have outside of their training? Do they have knowledge in the areas which you are seeking help?

Outside Personal Trainers - Will your gym allow you to bring a personal trainer in that doesn’t work for the gym?

Getting a personal trainer can be a great source of motivation and knowledge. One thing to keep in mind though is that all personal trainers are not created equally. If you are serious about hiring a personal trainer to help you meet your fitness goals, I suggest that you meet with them beforehand to discuss your fitness goals and how your goals blend with their training methodology. The personal trainer you choose should be someone you feel comfortable with and you feel can motivate you to not only achieve but to exceed your fitness goals.
