Thinking about Personal Training with me here in Epsom but perhaps feel you cant afford it?

Can you afford not to should be the question!

How much more would you be able to accomplish with your day if you were strong, fit and healthy. If you were full of energy and had a more inspired and positive perspective on the world.

If you feel confident in your body imagine how confident you’ll feel in the workplace and in life, you could be unstoppable.

How many more people could you speak with, how much more effective could you be in your day, how much time could you save - how much further ahead from the field could you stride?

To complete a tough physical task will give you mental tenacity like few other things in life will. if you are strong enough in the gym to push through your fears and doubts, the cross over it has in everyday life is outstanding. You can overcome anything life throws at because your body is strong. A strong body houses a strong mind.

Strengthen your body to strengthen your mind and in turn your life. Become more successsful in all you do.

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.

Hoorah another mistaken belief. Time and time again I hear and see written questions and statements about “cardio”;

“How much cardio should I do?”

“I run for 45 minutes a day for cardio”

“You have to be on the crosstrainer for at least 30 mintes to burn any fat”

“I am in the fat burning zone on the treadmill”

PUUUHHLLEASE

Cardio= anything that raises your heart rate above a certain point, not mandatorily in the “cardio” section of the gym. Squat your bodyweight for 5 minutes as fast as you can and tell me it’s not cardio.

As for the length of “cardio” needed for health. Very little. Get your heart rate above 160 for 10 minutes and you’ll be as healthy as you’re ever going to be or have been. NOT EVERY DAY either - give it a rest let your heart heal.

Minimal impact cardio can be done with weighted exercises performed correctly with little rest. All the benefits of “cardio” and resistance training in one. No drawbacks.

I was talking with a friend not so long ago about the culture surrounding exercise, the blurring lines between exercise and sports training.

We concluded that you have two distinct types of personalities that exercise;

1) The “Go when I can be bothered” type, which means not very often, peer pressured into it.

2) The “It makes me feel so good I feel weird if I don’t go” crowd, which means addicted. Two very extreme approaches.

It seems people look at exercise as a means of pleasure or pain. Why not just look at it like sleeping, sure you can live without it but to function fully and be as amazing as the human can be, YOU NEED it.

A great book by a great author;

Exercise is no different, you can function and survive as a human without it - but why not thrive, with it.

With no more than 1 hour per week at the absolute maximum you can have all the benefits that exercise can bring and thrive. I promise.

Below is a link to a great author in the area of intelligent exercise for the purpose of health, function and thriving - whilst saving time. Any of his books will feed you more correct training knowledge than 90% of anything else out there.
