Every one reaches a point where his/her workout becomes boring, or it is no longer improving one’s body composition. So what should you do? Spice up your work out with personal training of course!
The purpose of personal training is to use the right exercise recipe to help improve body composition, physical performance, health outcomes, and heart condition. In order for the use of personal training to be beneficial, you must be ready, willing, and motivated to push your past your comfort zone with each and every work out. This is where a personal trainer may be advisable, but not necessary. A personal trainer will help keep you motivated, and encourage you to push yourself above and beyond. In fact people who use personal trainers tend to see results with high strength levels, and higher intensity workouts.
Whether you choose to use a personal trainer to help spice up your work out, or you are dedicating yourself to your own personal training, the below tips will surely add a fire to your workout.
Set A Goal
Instead of setting the same goals as every other person out there, to lose weight and tone their body, set a goal that is more fun to work towards. Train yourself for a race, or obstacle course. Doing so will help keep you motivated, and make your work outs more fun, and fulfilling. Plus while you are training for an event, odds are you will be toning your body and losing weight at the same time.
Make Use Of The Social Scene
Many gyms and fitness clubs offer group fitness classes as part of their membership fee. Make use of classes. Not only are they frequently included with your membership, but the social atmosphere is a great motivational tool to keep you working towards achieving the goal(s) you set in place.
Stop Counting Reps!
Counting reps is tedious and boring. Instead challenge yourself to performing set in time. This way instead of doing 5 sets of 10 crunches, you are getting as many crunches as you can in 20 seconds, then taking a 10 second recovery break, and doing it again for another 20 seconds. Practicing this will allow you to prepare yourself for circuit training.
Circuit training is a form of personal training that has proven to be extremely beneficial. The idea is to perform 3-5 non-related exercises with little to no rest in between. By eliminating the rest period from the workout, your heart rate will remain elevated. Keeping your heart rate elevated throughout the work out will allow you to burn more and fat calories during the duration of the work out.
The most effective way to incorporate circuit training is to alternate weight training with cardio training. Incorporating cardio after a weight exercise, during the muscles recovery period, forces the heart rate to remain elevated.
