Personal Trainer for You
I am going to start off by guessing that you want to keep
the weight off for the long haul so we will consider this a 3 month program for
comparing the numbers. The average personal training program will be 3 times a
week for 30 minutes a day. This will not include the time you will spend doing
cardio as there is not much sense paying someone to watch you use a cardio
machine.
Included with a Personal Trainer or Fitness Coach
- A workout plan - A nutrition plan - A personal trainer -
Motivation, spotter and someone to record you workouts.
Cost of training on your own
- Fitness Articles Free. - Information from an e-book runs
$40 to $150. Higher priced includes more books and nutrition info. Some even
include personal coaching through e-mail.
Included using fitness articles and fitness e-books
- A workout plan - A nutrition plan
The Disadvantages of a personal trainer or fitness coach
are:
- Having to conform to the schedule of the trainer. Booking
what is convenient with them and not you. - Some personal trainers may not be
as knowledgeable as they appear. Some gyms create the program and basically
anyone with a bit of training can walk you through them. - Some personal
trainers are not even in shape themselves. If they ca not do it themselves how
are they suppose to help you? - The cost is outrageous. - What happens when you
can no longer afford them. Eventually you will need to change your workout.
Then what do you do?
Advantages of training on your own with knowledge from fitness
articles and fitness e-books:
- Pride from being able to say you reached your goals by
yourself. - Workout to your own schedule. - Construct you workout to suit
yourself not some generic workout that everyone is doing. You will save time in
the gym by not using the same machines as everyone else. - You can workout at
home and also save the cost of the gym if you choose to. - Save money!
Most of the Personal training exercises are done on the
machines in the gym and everyone else that is using a personal trainer is doing
the same exercises. This makes harder for you to get on these machines as they
are being used all the time. These machine exercises are not necessarily better
for you either. You can get a much better workout with free weights.
In conclusion it looks like it is basically costing you $900
to have someone watch you workout. I am sure you are knowledgeable enough to
write down your workout and you can choose many exercises for you workout that
you do not require a spotter for.
