The Cost Of Being Overweight Versus The Cost Of A Personal Trainer

another way to think about fitness...

"(Personal Training) can be expensive, but so is the loss of income and wealth when the child becomes ill with a lifestyle-related disease like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease or cancer." via Washington Post

The above quote applies to adults and children alike. Would you rather pay $400 a month of medical bills or $400 a month to a personal trainer?

Something to think about.

Parents Are Turning To Personal Trainers For Help

should kids have a personal trainer?

With childhood obesity at epidemic levels and schools decrease in activity programs for kids and personal trainer can be a godsend to an overweight child.

To have the child make exercise a habit it would be appropriate to meet with a trainer at least 2 times a week for 30 days.

This is becoming a popular trend. Read more about it here at ABOUT:Exercise and here at the Washington Post.

According to the Washington Post personal rainers can help kids who don't enjoy organized sports or are embarrassed doing active things with fitter kids. You can use body mass index (BMI) to determine if your child is overweight or obese. (Find a child BMI calculator here.)

Beware if your trainer does any of the following:

have a rapport with your personal trainer

-- Ignores or dismisses your questions

-- Works you so hard you're in pain for days. Soreness is normal, but you should still be able to get out of bed

-- Neglects any part of a complete program or recommends a level of training that's too hard for you

-- Recommends questionable supplements or herbs. Always talk to your doctor before taking anything!

-- Diagnoses injuries or illnesses instead of referring you to a doctor

-- Interrupts your session to talk to friends or take phone calls (unless it's an emergency or can't be avoided)

-- Doesn't return phone calls or emails

-- A personal trainer should watch you, correct your alignment, and explain what you're doing and why.

If you're having problems, talk to them--they may not be aware there's a problem. It's your money and your body...you have a right to get what you want and a good trainer will understand that.

How to Help Your Personal Trainer

have a partnership with your personal trainer

You can help your trainer do a better job by being a good client.

-- Save the chit-chat for after your session.

-- Be prepared by bringing your own towel and a full water bottle.

-- Give at LEAST 24 hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule

-- If you have questions, write them down and bring them to your session--you'll spend less time talking and more time working out.

-- If you have a problem with your trainer, address it immediately.

-- Don't interrupt your trainer when she's with a client. Wait until she's finished before approaching her.

-- Recognize that your trainer is there to guide you--but YOU still have to do the work!

Having A Personal Trainer Is Popular And They Get Results

finding a personal trainer

According to WebMD personal trainers are more affordable than people think. I have to agree, I think personal training has become more affordable in the Altanta metro areas, including Midtown, Buckhead and Ansley.

Having a personal trainer is more than a luxury today, it’s almost a necessity to starting and staying fit.

A personal trainer can help you with motivation, setting and meeting fitness goals, and making sure that you use the proper form when doing various exercises.

Although cost is important it should not be the only factor in finding a personal trainer. According to the WebMD article "Cheaper trainers aren't necessarily better trainers. They may not be worse either, but there are other things to consider." Personal Training certification and education are very important to ask when looking for a personal trainer.

"A properly trained personal trainer will know how to deal with that and how to establish the scope of their practice," says WebMD. "They'll know when to hand off a client to a registered dietitian, physician, or physical therapist."

Exercise also benefits almost all medical conditions. Have an idea of what you want toachieve and discuss it with your personal trainer. Read more here at WebMD.

Walking Won't Do It: Move Faster

I found this great BBC reports that the research looked at 128 people, and compared the oxygen uptake of those who walked at their own pace with the oxygen uptake of those whose routines left them enough breath to be able to speak one or two sentences with ease at the end. They found that the first group increased peak oxygen uptake by an average of 4 percent over the six months - but the figure for the moderate intensity exercise group was 10 percent.
