Why You Need a Personal Trainer

There's a reason why celebrities and other highly successful people use coaches and trainers: IT WORKS.

And that is why so many people are turning to personal trainers to help them move from mediocre to excellence in their pursuit of health, fitness and weight loss.

THE REALITY

More than 91% of people who start an exercise program quit early---even before their new routine becomes a habit, and 61% will give up within the very first week! (1)

WHY? Because changing your lifestyle is hard. In spite of all the infomercials and ads claiming that you can lose weight and transform your body in thirty days (or six weeks at the longest), the truth is, getting fit requires a lifestyle makeover that takes
-Time
-Determination
-Support

If any of these components is missing, the odds of success plummet.

THE FIX
The good news is that one component virtually guarantees the continued presence of the other two, and that is support-- and support is the heart of what a good personal trainer provides.

A personal trainer helps with the time factor  in two ways:

1. Finding the time in your schedule to actually work out
2. Sticking with the program long enough to reach your goals

A personal trainer supports you looking at your schedule and find ways to make fitness fit. A seasoned personal trainer has much wisdom in the area of time management and is a master at figuring out how to work exercise into even the busiest schedules. They can also design workouts that are both efficient and effective. Finally, a personal trainer can also provide motivation that you need to keep going, long after you would have stopped if you were working out by yourself.

Determination is also an area that a personal trainer supports you in. At the beginning of your fitness program, you have excitement, novelty and the joy of discovery to keep you going. But eventually, what used to be new and fun becomes old and boring. If determination fades, you will find yourself wandering off track in search of the next exciting pursuit.

Your personal trainer will help you keep your determination. They will remind you why you are doing what you are doing. They will get into your life and help you move past obstacles that arise, and they will talk you out of excuse-making. They will constantly hold before you the consequences of you choices. They will keep you moving forward.

And finally, a personal trainer supports you as your source for practical, step=by-step instructions for building health. Your personal trainer is an expert in the field of exercise science. While under the tutelage of a personal trainer, you do not have to design you own program of fitness, constantly wondering whether you are doing the right exercises in the right way. A personal trainer will create a customized blueprint that will help you achieve your goals.


A personal trainer is your insurance policy against being another number in the appalling fitness drop-out statistics. Don't try to go it alone; we all need help.

Position yourself for success by working with a personal trainer and watch fitness and robust health become part of your life.

Prepare for Success: Back to School Tips

Have you noticed? The days are getting a little shorter, store aisles are full of school supplies and you may have seen a school bus or two making practice runs in your neighborhood. All this can mean one thing: it's back to school time! If you are like most people, you are not quite ready to say good bye to the relaxing days of summer. Late nights and lightly-scheduled days are a welcome break after a year of early mornings and homework deadlines. Those slow days of summer are such a welcome break! But with the approach of the new school year comes the necessity to ease back into a routine that helps your children succeed. Changing routines can be tough under any circumstances. But when our routines change from 'fun and relaxing' to 'less fun and somewhat stressful,' it can be even tougher to pull off! The best way to lessen the shock of a new school year is to ease your children into their school routine before school starts. Getting a jump start on a new sch...

What do Insulin Resistance and Summer Have in Common?

Plenty, it turns out, and it has everything to do with what you're eating this summer. Even though summer brings with it an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, making it easier to eat healthily, it also brings added risks. What could taste better during the lazy, hazy days of summer that fruity cocktails and rich ice cream? Unfortunately, these are the foods that can spell danger for your blood sugar level. The few minutes of pleasure that you derive from those cold, sugary treats can pave the way for decades of chronic illness. BLOOD SUGAR BASICS When you eat sugary treats, your blood sugar levels rise. Your blood sugar level is a measure of how much sugar or glucose is circulating in your bloodstream. Too much glucose in your blood is dangerous, so your body works hard to lower the levels. It does this by releasing insulin, a hormone which enables your cells to absorb the excess glucose. The danger comes when you continue eating too much sugar, because your body res...

Be Smart About Gluten-Free Foods.

Are you going gluten-free? If so, you are in good company. Many Americans are reducing the gluten in their diets. Some are doing this because they have a confirmed diagnosis of Celiac disease, some are gluten sensitive, and others are finding that reducing gluten aids them in weight loss. What is gluten? Gluten is a protein found in certain grains such as wheat, barley, rye,, spelt and semolina. It not only gives baked goods their characteristic texture and chewiness, but it is also used in the processing of many other foods to add thickness, flavor and added protein. If someone has Celiac disease, they have a condition in which the body experiences an immune reaction when gluten is eaten. The result is damage to the inside of the small intestine, which impairs absorption of nutrients. Gluten sensitivity is different in that the reaction to gluten is less severe and less damaging to the small intestine, but physical symptoms are still present, such a nutritional deficiencies, gas...
