Why we need exercise & why personal trainers can help

For those with frequent personal commitments and even busier lifestyles, it’s difficult to find the motivation to stay active on a regular basis. At first, it may seem so much easier to stay inside and relax in our spare time. However, in the long-term, our lazy habits may affect various aspects of our lives that we might not even realise - including our weight, mood and overall mental well-being. It may not be obvious at first, but our bodies require a certain amount of daily exercise in order to use up the excess energy (calories) we consume through food and drinks. Without an adequate outlet for our bodies to use up this energy, we may begin to feel lethargic & temperamental. Moreover, our bodies will eventually transfer this wasted energy into excess fat; ultimately leading to unnecessary weight gain. With the help from a personal trainer, you can begin a workout routine that is suited to your physical requirements/goals (i.e.maintaining a healthy weight, losing weight, training for an event) and not worry about falling behind.

Who can benefit from a personal trainer?

Personal training is suitable for most age groups, however above all else it depends upon what your goals are as someone willing to be mentored through a fitness regime and how far you want to push yourself in order to achieve these goals. At the end of the day, the decision to become or remain physically fit is yours to make so there really are no prerequisites. For those without a regular income, It is important to keep in mind the cost of each work out session as this is a factor that may determine the how often you exercise under the supervision of your personal trainer. Nevertheless, our goal at Superprof is to provide people with a range of personal trainers at affordable costs in order to accommodate people from all kinds of socio-economic backgrounds.

Thousands of personal trainers to choose from!

The broad range of personal trainers available through Superprof may seem overwhelming at first, however if you take a further look you will notice that each trainer provides different qualifications to suit your specific fitness requirements. Ever wanted to achieve that perfect summer bod? Maybe you need someone who can guide you through a step-by-step dietary plan. Whatever it is, there is sure to be a personal trainer out there who is willing to help you through the process. Moreover, when hiring the help for a personal trainer it is integral you are able to find someone you can trust and rely on. That’s why at Superprof we ask our personal trainers to display their own methodology for training, their background and their going rates. In addition to this, each profile has the option to be reviewed by past clients. This may be extremely valuable for those seeking verified feedback on a trainer’s performance. With these parameters in place, finding the perfect personal trainer is easy.

Personal training anywhere

Sometimes we may be unable to travel to get to where we want to work out or we may be too busy to arrange a face-to-face training session. Luckily, many of the personal trainers on our website offer different locations and/or contexts in which a training program can be implemented. For instance, lessons can be held within your own home, via your computer’s webcam, at the personal trainer’s home or even at a public space that is convenient for both you and the trainer. This flexibility ensures that you can remain committed to your workout sessions regardless of your availability.

Types of training you can include in your workout

Once you are with your personal trainer, you might want to explore the various methods of training depending on your level of fitness. Such methods of training may include continuous training, interval training, weight training, plyometric training, or circuit training.
-Continuous training will target your heart rate, improve your overall cardiovascular fitness and may include running, swimming or even cycling.

-Interval training involves short, yet particularly intense workout sessions dispersed between intervals of rest/recovery.

-Weight training will focus your energy on specific parts of the body through a range of possible lifts/weight exercises. These are also completed through short periods of muscle exertion; however, unlike interval training, weight training is completed in a specific amount of reps and sets.

-Plyometric training is a high-intensity type of workout that is far more suited to experienced athletes or those who are already in excellent physical condition and want to improve the power and overall proficiency of their muscles.

-Circuit training involves rotating around a circuit of specific exercise stations, each intended to work out a particular part of the body. This type of training is intended to combine strength and aerobic fitness with rest periods in between. This helps you form a workout that is balanced (targets more than one component of the body).

Give your mental health a boost!

One aspect of fitness that many people forget about or even disregard completely is the positive effects that regular exercise has on our minds. Studies have proven that those who participate in regular exercise have a greater chance at reducing symptoms of stress, anxiety and sleeping difficulty. When we engage in strenuous physical activity, our bodies release a series of positive endorphins & chemicals such as serotonin which assists in regulating our mood and behaviour. Therefore, a lack of exercise can cause an imbalance in the body where not enough positive endorphins are produced - leading to a lowered state of mind or even serious depressive episodes. Personal training combines the activities of exercise & social interaction while keeping your physical goals in mind. By the end of each session, you should feel relaxed and acquire an overall sense of individual achievement.
