Does personal training get results?
Many people want to know if personal training gets results. First, you don’t need state-of-the-art equipment or a gym with a R$500 monthly fee to achieve your goals. You need the basics! What are the basics? A workout with free weights and barbells, good guidance on how to perform your exercises, and most importantly…
No outlandish inventions
Social media promotes a range of crazy exercises every day—I’d even call some of them circus acts… side-lying leg presses, “kicks” with a cable, squats on the hip abductor and adductor machines… and so on. They make a big impact on followers, mainly because the people doing them have… let’s say, attractive physiques. But I GUARANTEE you, they didn’t get that physique by squatting on the adductor machine… yes, everyone: it’s called marketing… These exercises are ridiculous and sometimes dangerous. Don’t follow fads.
Wrong is still wrong, even if everyone is doing it, and right is still right, even if no one is doing it.
And for those of you who stick to the basics and what works, here are a few tips: always check the condition of the equipment you’re going to use.
Pay attention to everything
Pay attention to everything: the condition of the cables, how securely the machines are fixed in place, and the state of the floor.
🎯When using the leg press or Smith machine, check and use the safety locks!
🎯Even your footwear matters… avoid very unstable shoes, for example, when doing a free-weight squat…
That’s it.
Is it worth training with a personal trainer?
One of the great benefits of hiring a personal trainer is that you can monitor your exercises. With online professionals, you can enjoy this benefit anytime, anywhere, because you can follow your planned workout without having to schedule an appointment.
Through the app, website, or WhatsApp, you have access to a specialist who is available to help you reach your goals.
Simply fill in some basic information, such as your exercise goals and personal measurements, and the trainer will provide a personalized training plan and tips on how to follow it.
A good option is an online coaching service.
Online personal training works the same way as in-person coaching. You fill out a form with various necessary details, such as your training history, daily habits, lifestyle, any physical limitations, and other personal information, including your weekly availability, training frequency and preferred location, age, sex, height, weight, and body fat percentage.
