Epsom Personal Trainer - 07742 952 208

Some people hire a Personal Trainer and get awesome results, some people don’t.

I will now let you in on the not so secret to their success;

If you have a goal to lose excess body fat you have and start on a good exercise programme on your own or with a qualified and experienced Personal Trainer (Epsom Personal Trainer) I first want to say congratulations! You are way ahead of the field and deserve to have great success. It is only half the story.

If you are like many of the people that start exercising you will be disappointed with your results if you rely solely on the exercise to lose body fat. Why? Because exercise alone is not a particularly effective way of burning calories - sure it can re shape your body and help you burn more calories every day but……

without a calorie restriction, a real one, then you’re efforts may just be in vain.

The most successful fat loss clients of mine ALL watch their calorie intake and make sure they don’t go over the specified amount.

That bears repeating They ALL watch their calorie intake!

Are you really getting the results you want from simply exercising?

Imagine your body as a series of links in a chain - if you have one weak link you simply wont perform as well as you could.

“You’re only as strong as your weakest link” - tis true.

Squash, golf, football and many others. They will all be improved if you pay attention to your body as a whole.

I trained a semi professional cyclist who had been struggling for two seasons to bump himself up the rankings. After just 2 months he had moved up an entire class and was keeping up with riders 10 years younger than him. Not bad for two half hour sessions a week.

Did I improve his cardiovascular conditioning - hell no -his bike riding was plenty of cardio training for him. I did pay particular attention to making certain parts of his body chain allot stronger.

The stronger I made him, the less effort each pedal stroke took away from him. He rode more efficiently and still had juice to spare at the end.

Getting stronger without getting bigger will make all sports people better. Try it and blow your current competition out the water.

One of my clients advised me that they were going to be running a 10k race in one month;

I hate anything endurance based that requires the body to perform the same movement over and over thousands of times…..it’s just plain bad for all the tissues involved…….I said - would you squat 7000 times for a healthy workout?!

Running 10,000 meters is thousands of reps of the same movement that wears the heart, the joints and soft tissues down - what are you long distance people thinking of….do none of you know that the first ever marathoner died straight after!!!

And people die all the time during marathons;

Having said all that, I am really pleased they have set themselves a new goal and wish them all the best in the actual event and look forward to future preparation personal training sessions!

You can get all the health benefits of endurance training plus so much more with out any of the side effects (death, busted knees and skinny fat) if you utilise the principles laid out in my Go Anywhere, Do Anything ebook

OR

Head down and see me for a session or two and learn for yourself what it is to workout properly without the need for traditional cardio!

Besides - you deserve to have your spare time taken up by friends, family and the finer things in life….like a beer or two and not by stupid long sessions on the treadmill or bike.
