Whether you are an avid exerciser or new to it altogether, This post will definitely help. Each paragraph is designed to meet your unique goals with you personal trainer.
Many health professionals include exercise
programs in their programming because
incorporating physical activity into as many aspects
of daily living as possible can provide many
physiological, psychological and social benefits. The
Surgeon General's report on physical activity, the
Centers for Disease Control and the American
College of Sports Medicine all stress the importance
of regular and sustained bouts of moderate-intensity
physical activity (Pate et al., 1995) because it is clear
that physical activity is very important to preventive
disease management, wellness, and employee
productivity.
Unfortunately, more people in the U.S.
are becoming less active, significantly contributing
to a sustained increase in obesity. While there was a
gradual increase in the percent of overweight people
leading up to the mid 1980’s, the unprecedented
increase since then has reached epidemic
proportions (CDC, 2000).
While it is clear that physical activity programs are an important part of health and weight
management, less is known about what specific
types of programs can be successful in promoting
significant long-term changes in behaviour. With
more and more people seeking the expertise of
personal trainers in recent years and that many of
these are paying more for the one-on-one interaction
with their personal trainer compared to other.
