Personal Workout Program -
Custom Workouts
What does All the Workout Routines you See on the
Internet or in Magazines have in Common ?
They were Not Designed for You
Following the incorrect route to achieving your goals only leads to frustration.
Who they were designed for is anybody's guess. Maybe they were designed
for a professional bodybuilder? What about a collegiate football player?
Maybe the latest "fat burning" workout program was even created for an
Olympic athlete who has been exercising regularly for 20 years?
How much do you think the previous workout routines would benefit
someone who has led a sedentary lifestyle for the past 10 years?
Do these
"cookie cutter," one-size-fits-all workout routines know about your bum knee
from the high school track team?
It is Important you Follow a Personal Workout Program Specific to Your
Individual Needs
Benefits of a Professionally Designed Goal Specific
Workout Program
A Personal Workout Program is Designed for Your Exact Situation
If you had a broken leg in high school, it will affect your training program.
If you work a job where you sit 9 hours a day at a desk, you better believe your
exercise selection is going to be different than someone who is on their feet.
It is very important to consider your posture at the outset of a personal
workout program. If you do not understand why, you should read about
muscle imbalances which can lead to posture problems and how they affect your fitness training and
results.
The design of your personal workout program is based on your current height,
weight, body fat and fitness goals as well as your preferences.
Do you
want to work out 3 days a week or 6? Do you want to spend 2 hours in the
gym at a time, or 45 minutes?
Since your personal workout program is designed based on your preferences you
will be able to make constant progress and systematically achieve your short
term fitness goals, until your long term goal is within sight.
How does a Personal Workout Program Work ?
Think of your Workout Routine as a Jigsaw Puzzle and each Exercise as a Piece of
the Puzzle
The finished puzzle represents the best workout routine to accomplish your
fitness goals.
If you have never put the puzzle together before, i.e. do not know too much
about exercise science and the human body, it may be a daunting process.
Many
people who try to put together their workout puzzle by themselves get
discouraged when the desired results do not happen.
The discouraging feeling often leads to cessation of their workout routine
altogether.
Wouldn't it be easier to have someone who has put the puzzle together hundreds
of times for many different people do it for you?
That is where a personal workout program becomes personal. Personal
trainers know that each exercise is only unique when performed by itself.
The key to achieving the best results with a workout plan is to intelligently
put together the exercises in a manner which will create optimal, time-efficient
workouts.
Your workout program puzzle will be put together eventually. It is your
choice to get it put together quickly and professionally or slowly and
inefficiently.
What are the Keys to Getting Results while following a
Personal Workout Program ?
The Perfect Workout Routine Alone is Not Enough to Get your desired Results
Exercise is the most potent stimulus to change your body. Your body
changes in between workouts over time never during workouts.
In order to get your body to respond proper to the stimulus you absolutely
must pay attention to your nutrition.
Nutrition is a Key to Success for your Workout Program
Do not underestimate the importance of nutrition. Proper nutrition and
a personal workout program go hand in hand.
In order to get results from your workout program it is important you monitor
and if necessary change your diet. You can take the guesswork out of
nutrition by hiring a dietician or using a program such as
EDiets which will guide you through your nutrition.
What is the Entire Personal Workout Program Process like
?If your situation will benefit from a personal workout program you
will receive a questionnaire. The questionnaire provides the personal
trainer with all the information necessary to create a workout plan which will
give you the highest chance for success. Once you fill out the questionnaire
you will receive a complete personal workout program based on your preferences.
If you are unfamiliar with any of the exercises, you can view them online in the
exercise video library or
purchase a DVD with all of the exercises which you will be using. Watch the
exercise videos on your DVD player at home or upload them onto your iPod for use
at the gym.
