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...

Supercharge your Health with Green Drinks

No matter how committed we are to getting in the recommended five to nine servings of vegetables and fruits every day, sometimes we come up short. It may be that we are busy and barely have time to eat at all, or perhaps we find ourselves in eating situations that don't include many fresh vegetables choices. Or maybe we just don't like them (I know the feeling). On days that you find it hard to eat enough vegetables and fruits, a green drink is the perfect answer. It is a great way to boost your health and even detox your system. Green drinks are just that-- green, because they contain the juice of fresh vegetables and other vegetables and fruits. There are many reasons to consider adding green drinks to your diet.  WHY DRINK GREEN JUICE  Vegetables and fruits are full of essential vitamins, minerals and enzymes that your body thrives on. And because you are consuming it in liquid form, your body can digest it quickly. This is especially helpful if you have di...

Holiday Survival Guide: How to Get Through the Holidays with No Regrets.

Let's face it: it is hard to stick to a healthy eating and exercise plan during the holidays. Everywhere we turn there are tempting foods and drinks--from treats at office parties to our own traditional family favorites. When you add in a busy schedule filled with shopping and get-togethers that make it tough to squeeze in exercise, you have a recipe for disaster as far as our scales are concerned. The good news is that you really can get through the holidays without gaining weight. It will take some effort, but you will thank yourself a thousand times when January 1st rolls around and you have no regrets!  YOUR GOAL: MAINTENANCE  In order to greet the New Year without tipping the scale, it is wise to try to maintain your weight during the next few weeks instead of trying to lose. Remember: you want to enjoy the holidays, not be miserable from deprivation. This means that you will allow yourself occasional treats and splurges and keep the scale where it is rather tha...
