- Why should I use a Personal Trainer?
- Some people are happy to follow their own program in their own time and place. For those who lack the time, or the motivation, or the energy to train effectively on their own, a Personal Trainer can be the answer. The support, advice and encouragement comes with safe exercise technique to help you avoid injuries.
- How often should I train?
- Three times each week should be sufficient for you to start feeling and seeing results. Whether you work out with your Trainer every time is up to you, and may depend on how motivated you are, how often you can afford to train and what you schedule is every week. I can provide unsupervised training programs for the sessions per week when you are on your own.
- Do I need to be in reasonable shape before I start?
- No, I believe anyone and everyone can benefit from training and exercise. You are never too old or unfit to get started. Whether your goal is to lose weight, gain muscle, or just improve your overall fitness, I can work with you to achieve your goals.
- What are the benefits of varying your workout routine?
- As a single mom of six children routine is key to a great day. Routine has its place, but when it comes to workouts, mixing things up is vital. Changing your routine every 6-8 weeks eliminates the dreaded plateau, elevates motivation, and lessens boredom. Muscles and joints benefit being used in different ways. Too much repetition can create problems. Varying workouts reduces the risk of over training leading to associated injuries, increases overall strength, better sculpts your physique, and challenges your body.
